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..

I believe them. They should stop using the drugs and send them to the USA. We will take them off their hands .... :o)
I know of two individuals personally that have been prescribed this therapy and it works.
Soon to be called, Trumps Folly
Rooters and YaHoos — ENEMEDIA.
Karma, please happen to them. And do be a biotch.
RE: I know of two individuals personally that have been prescribed this therapy and it works.
May I ask what conditions they were in when they took this therapy and how long it took to get discharged? Thanks.
Sort of proves in my mind that this pandemic is a Rothschild globalist DS conspiracy against POTUS. Only those blinded by hatred of Trump or choreographers of this pandemic would be throwing cold water on a cure for this killer virus.
Well, they have not finished trials, so of course there is no “proof” it works.
Tell it to the doctors already using it.
RE: You were one of the main person sin the primary posting all the fake news on Trump. Im just saying.
Can you show me such posts?
I post articles all the time,most of them favorable to Trump, but I do post articles that criticize him, so that people like you can refute them. I did not know that this forum is only used for one sided articles.
F’n Reuters
FDA Approved it for treatment
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.
Or are we only supposed to believe "experts" who enhance the hysteria and indict Trump's efforts?
Thank you. This was most helpful.
What state in this country was this in?
I assume that these were all done under Doctor’s supervision.
“... this pandemic is a Rothschild globalist DS conspiracy against POTUS.”
China & Soros & US progressives & D’rats & globalist corporations.
Because they dont want it to work..people who have taken it here have said it saved their lives, are they lying?? The commie left doesnt want it to work because Trump said give it a try..now if Obama had said the same thing the same EU would say “ITS A MIRACLE IT WORKS THANK U OBAMA”
Isn’t France part of the EU?
Or was I misinformed?
Don’t bother. A lot FReepers don’t understand that many articles are posted to inform us of the enemy’s positions.
“Sounds like an anti-Trump hit piece.”
If: MSM
Then: Anti-Trump hit peace.
People...think about it for a minute.
From the EU’s perspective all those old Europeans are nothing but a cost. They produce no taxable income to speak of, they get money every month and they use most of the healthcare. Worse yet, the old folks in the UK voted for Brexit.
Brussels is just fine with a bunch of old Europeans dying. No matter what they say.
