President Donald Trump arrives to speak at a coronavirus task force briefing at the White House, Sunday, April 5, 2020, in Washington. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is pitching a medicine for COVID-19 sufferers that science has not concluded is effective or safe for their use. “Take it,” he said of the drug.

For people sick with the coronavirus, he said Sunday, “It can help them but it’s not going to hurt them.” In fact, it may or may not help some people, and it may or may not hurt them.

His straight-ahead advocacy of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug, is the latest and one of the most consequential examples of Trump and public-health authorities not being on the same page in the pandemic.

It’s shocking how the media oppose hydroxychloroquine &ignore the large # of docs who support& prescribe it. If you get this virus& become very ill &you & your doc believe it can help then you should use it. Why do they keep hammering the president about this?This is common sense— Mark R.

How would we have ANY drug “approved” for a virus that no one ever heard of five months ago?

Well, then, by golly he should be executed for that kind of outrage! /s

It took three of these little fools to write this hit piece? They had better get some reinforcements. They are not armed. Just hate to slaughter innocent children.

Stupid little pricks.

Trump really stick it to the AP reporter today. I almost thought he was going to have the guy thrown out.

Whatever PDJT says, they oppose. Even when by doing so they’re obviously in the wrong.

They literally live in an alternate reality bubble. Opposing Trump is more important to them than is paying attention to and responding to obvious facts.

Only professional affirmative-action bureaucrats are qualified to make this kind of pronouncement!

Obama pitched that if I liked my doctor, I could keep my doctor.

the reason why the media, in particular CNN, is waging a war against hydroxychloroquine is that they fear that the drug will work and their lust for endless piles of dead bodies that they are desperately hoping to be able to lay at Trump’s feet will not materialize. Let’s face it, most in the media/dem complex so hate and revile Trump (and his supporters) that they are more than willing to see the country destroyed so that they can regain power.

Unapproved does not equal does not work. It has been successfully used against SARS and numerous studies back this up. There is every reason, based on doctor and patient experience, to hold it out has a treatment for SARS2.

——————AP Headliens under President Trump:

“President Donald Trump is pitching a medicine for COVID-19 sufferers that science has not concluded is effective or safe for their use.”

——————AP Headlines if this had happened under obama:

“President Obama bravely touts drug that most doctors think will combat the Covid Virus”

Hope Yen only has 1100 followers and is reaching 7 billion people a day? Must not have many takers.

Not FDA approved! That’s rich. Most reporters and editors have personal experience with illgal drugs of one sort or another.
