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:

Why is this even a story? The weirdo might also agree with Trump that the sun rises in the morning. So?
Thank you, theres no way I’d ever see anything in the Euro Respiratory Journal...what is the date on this thing? I am looking for it but dont see.
I’m an engineer and not a doctor but I’d think the only reason you wouldn’t treat with these meds is because some Marxist Anti-Trump asshole prevented it. Am I wrong?
WTF is wrong with some of these Chicken Little “We’re all gonna die!” posters on here lately? They’ve become super aggressive and bullying if someone calls out their hysteria. It’s becoming very tedious and nonproductive.
I certainly did not intend to attack you.
Nope, I would treat and make him arrest me — you know, rummychick will be his police force
No, there could be other reasons.
For example, does the Dr know how someone with a jacked up hemoglobin that is thought to have evolved because of malaria/mother nature will respond to an anti malaria drug that has serious side effects while the body is under assault from a novel virus.
It’s one thing if you are a deaths door.it’s another if you are rich socialite who is Doctor shopping in NY for someone who will presribe it because you have a mild fever...with no idea if you have Wuhan Flu

I think some smart specialist knew about azithromycin for CF patients and decided to try it on C19 patients.
One of the reasons for using it with the hydroxychloroquine is that they have opposite effects on heart rate. Zithro speeds it up and hydro slows it down.
I can see why they use them together.

Agreed.
I don’t want to be in their club. There isn’t enough soap and hot water to scrub that particular STENCH off of me! ;)
Sorry I’m hyper sensitive right now, got an oldster in the ultra hot zone I’m not allowed to see. Also scared they are going to use this to take out Trump. I need a drink.
There is a video of an Elmhurst Dr that will tell you what they are facing.
Did it work?
By the same producer that happen to catch Chinese falling over dead in shopping malls?
“Pours three fingers of George Dickel rye, and hands it to ToastedHead. “
it appears that they didnt really do a trial of the drug on Sars which is too bad because we would know more
“One of those studies was conducted in primate cells in 2005 amid the SARS outbreak, but never used as treatment as the disease was contained, Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonologist and internist at Lenox Hill Hospital told The Post.
“There was no reason to use it at that time but looking back, there was a feeling it could be used to reduce the possibility of being infected or as treatment,” for coronavirus, especially since “we know that its tolerated in people,” Horovitz said”
Do a search . pick whatever media you want to read
That’s interesting and goes far beyond what I know, or at least remember. I keep wondering who they are administering it to. Neither is IV available. If someone is ventilated, they aren’t swallowing. Must be a sliver they are trialing.
