The unproven claim that an antimalarial drug can cure coronavirus - called a 'game-changer' and a 'gift from God' by Donald Trump - has been promoted by a crypto-currency lawyer who has made a string of bogus claims, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Gregory Rigano made a series of Fox News and conservative and Christian radio appearances to tout the idea that chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine 'cures' conronavirus.
The anti-malaria drug is now the subject of series of clinical trials, including in New York, where the state received 10,000 doses.
It has been praised by Trump repeatedly - but the first time he did, at the White House last Friday, epidemiologist Tony Fauci stepped in to warn it was not scientifically proven to be effective and safe.
Trump amplified the case for the drug again on Twitter Monday amid apparent public tensions with Fauci.
Now a DailyMail.com investigation reveals how:

We are actually suspending civil liberties for people convicted of no crime and who are only expected to perhaps contract the virus at some point.
That lawyer should have his ticket pulled.
And so should the Dr who is prescribing it to people who don’t even have a positive test in NYC in defiance of Cuomo’s law he put in place.
Rich socialites who have nothing better to do than attack people shouldnt be able to access it either in NYC
Malaria is a parasite. It attacks red blood cells. A long time ago they found that chloroquine inhibits that. No one knows how.
Its newer, friendlier little brother hydroxychloroquine shows anti-inflammatory properties, again, no one knows how. But it’s used, under a black box warning, for inflammatory diseases.
Now, we are to believe, in conjunction with azithromycin, an antibiotic, it is a miracle cure against a new virus.
I want this to be over as much as anyone but my gut feeling is that we are being played hard.
Haters gotta hate. Simple as that.
I am sure there are people in NYC that would love to have a DR prescribe this medicine to them. Are you afraid to name him?
From Wikipedia: Hydroxychloroquine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1955. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.
I have a blood disorder that is thought to have evolved because of Malaria. No one really addressing how those with hemoglobin disorder figures into this.
It is interesting to note that ibuprofen..an anti inflammatory is thought to perhaps cause a problem with those that have Wuhan Flu
Agreed. He did.
That's because it is. Google Coronavirus and Nature Magazine. Read. This virus was cultured in a lab in Wuhan, China less than 10 miles from the wet market where it allegedly "broke out" on its own.
Multiple threads here on FR have posted the same Nature.Com article to discuss it also.
The information is out there.
The Daily Mail should be banned at this point.
Do you have a link? Not disputing you. Just want to see it.
I did see this
“But myself, personally I like to get some knowledge out of it,” Fauci said. “So if I had a situation where I needed a drug, I would look around if there was a clinical trial that would give me access within the contours of a clinical trial.””
...
now , is that the real truth. Hmmm....he might be one of those that got it another way if he was truly sick
The anti malaria drug is set aside only for countries where the standard of living is low, where Big Pharma can't make a profit with their engineered antivirus drugs. That is just so big-hearted of them, so noble. That's their only agenda I'm sure.
Why do you keep posting this crap?
If a hustler promoted water as good for you does not make water bad.
People, use your brain.
[Did you read the article?
The article is not rubbish. But it is CRAZY]
Better add many government agency apparatchiks.
And elected officials.
It’s a big club, and you’re not in it.
I saw that anti-inflammatories make it worse, and that’s one of the reasons I immediately reacted to the use of hydroxychloroquine because that’s the ONLY reason that drug is still on the market. No one I’ve questioned can tell me wtf the actual purpose of azithromycin is, other than “postulation.” Something is up.
Wow, there should be a journalism award for shortest headlines, because you don’t need to explain your whole thesis in the title of your article...
it seems I read that the Zpac acted like a transporter but that may not be right because I cant find where I saw it.
I do know that I saw the results were better with the two together.
Grifters use fear and/or greed to convince people to give them money/invest in their con.
The answer to why he did what he did was to make money off of a either frighten fools or greedy ones.
Interesting that Fox News did insufficient background on the guy before using him as an expert.
