BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Tuesday there was no evidence that a drug touted by U.S. President Donald Trump as a potential miracle cure against COVID-19 was effective against the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

Trump had said that hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, could be among "the biggest game changers in the history of medicine" for its potential effects against COVID-19.

"The efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 patients has to date not been proved," a spokesman for the European Commission said on Tuesday, relaying an internal opinion from the European Medicine Agency.

The spokesman said there was also no evidence either of the positive effects of chloroquine, another malaria drug, which is also being tested for its possible use against COVID-19.

The U.S. Health and Human Services on Thursday listed hydroxychloroquine as a protected medical resource after Trump signed an executive order to prevent its hoarding and price gouging.

Hungary, a European Union member, last week banned the commercial export of hydroxychloroquine.

"As Hungary is one of the world's largest exporters of this ingredient, the protection and medical supply of the Hungarian population is now a priority," the government said..

Of course they are trying to destroy hope. The media is in a furious furious battle to ensure that this lasts forever. They WANT this to never end.

Thus, any drug that is a treatment is downed with false stories based on “studies” and “experts.”

Any doctor or expert who refutes the disaster numbers or supports a treatments is attacked, personally.

Our media needs a cure as much as this virus does.

Well then the EU should kindly send all of their useless doses of these medications directly to us ASAP for a reasonable price since they obviously won’t be needing them.

Husband and wife. Wife (47) sick, moderate respiratory issues but husband (55) much worse off, fever for 10 days, wife thought husband might die (she is a medical professional).
5 day therapy, husband discharged after 2nd day. Wife was never admitted to hospital.

We can’t take these anecdotal stories of not-killed-by-CCP-19 as proof, they have not contributed to the Case Fatality Rate nor have they contributed to the Daily Coronathin Pandemic fear factor rating. Therefore, 18 months of testing and a complete great depression are required before.....

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sarcasm. I’ve read “Tripping Over the Truth”, the book about cancer cure research and the bumbling, intentional avoidance of stuff that works, etc. Watching similar in real time PLUS intentional destruction of the economy.
Yay....

Seriously? No wonder no one takes the MSM seriously anymore! It seems like everyone in the world already figured out the CHQ was effective tow weeks ago!

MSM = The New Pravda

Speaking of New Pravda, a few days ago on WeChat, the CCP version of Pravda, the Chinese people were being told that European governments were raising the Chinese flag in the European capitals because they were so grateful that China was sending all the medical material and assistance! I'm not making this up! I actually had some Chinese friends call me and ask me if I thought that was true!

The wife is on Facebook, preaching it. We need Trump to start reading off names of those that have literally been saved by this therapy.

Some moron ate fish cleaner and died and POTUS was unfairly blamed for it.

I know sarcasm is hard to carry off in print, but I made it clear the tenor of my comment on that smear against Pres. Trump.
