Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Wednesday reaffirmed findings by different scientific studies showing the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine cannot cure COVID-19.
Fauci made this declaration a day after President Donald Trump again promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine as a cure, as well as other COVID-19 misinformation, in a series of tweets.
On Wednesday, Fauci pointed out all valid scientific data shows hydroxychloroquine isn’t effective at treating SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), the virus that causes COVID-19.
“You look at the scientific data and the evidence," said Dr. Fauci. "And the scientific data ... on trials that are valid, that were randomized and controlled in the proper way, all of those trials show consistently that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease or Covid-19."
He also said the American public has “got to follow the science” in COVID-19 research, adding "you accept the scientific data" if a valid study comes out and shows efficacy and safety for hydroxychloroquine or any other drug.
“Right now, today, the cumulative scientific data that has been put together and done over a number of different studies have shown no efficacy (for hydroxychloroquine),” he emphasized.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any drug for curing COVID-19. It has, however, recommended against taking hydroxychloroquine to treat or prevent COVID-19.

So it was ok for SARS 1, but not now SARS 2 (AKA-covid-19).
BTW Anthony, are random sex hookups on Tinder up to the individual to gauge the risk they will accept?
He’s a tool...
About that drug that will cost so much you will have to mortgage your home works perfectly well :-)
It did pretty awful and some of its own trials.
I’m praying that little weasel will be given the opportunity to test his theory by not taking it when he tests positive.
Double dare.
This little, PIAPS-loving POS needs to just “disappear”...gone, pfft...no one knows where.
What studies is Fauci referring to? Are there any that include zinc?
Ten to one Fauci uses it himself...
New Mexico Rumor is that the Governor uses it secretly while railing against it...
“...I’m praying that little weasel will be given the opportunity to test his theory by not taking it when he tests positive. Double dare....”
IF the truth be known, the little, commie, PIAPS-loving SOB has probably been taking it as a preventative since a week before they’re planned release date of the virus.
SOB needs to be in jail.
2005 fauci et al knew hcq was effective against coronaviruses
2020 fauci contradicts himself, deliberately hid the knowledge he knew back in 2005 that hcq was effective
this guy is bought and paid for by soros and gates and china
He stopped the study because he supposedly couldn’t get enough patients. He is a fraud and a phony and I pray God deals with him
The guy hasn’t practiced medicine in 50 years but he knows more than the doctors who are on the front lines every day.
Do not count on Trump to go against Fauci, he ain’t going to do it! Instead Trump will tell us with a straight face the great work Fauci and Birx have done on the task force, and his excellent poll numbers.
I can’t believe what’s happened to Trump.
That man needs to go back to modeling.
He looked so suave.
What happened to that poster who was telling us that Fauci was just a swell guy etc etc etc?
They also sang the praises of Able Reyna.
I’m noticing a pattern on that poster..
Ten to one Fauci uses it himself...
New Mexico Rumor is that the Governor uses it secretly while railing against it...
That's the little trick the media , Fauci, and others use . They say hydroxychloroquine is not effective. That is true. But it isn't given alone. It is used with zinc and other drugs that is a "cocktail". The cocktail IS efeective. He never comments on the cocktail. As far as the study. It is this dicredited one with VA patients they always cite. The problem with that one is it was given to VA patients in the last stages and most of them already had other conditions.
“You look at the scientific data and the evidence,” said Dr. Fauci. “And the scientific data ... on trials that are valid, that were randomized and controlled in the proper way, all of those trials show consistently that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease or Covid-19.”
Read between the lines. Fauci is WORKING TOO HARD at denying HCQ has ANY value in the treatment of this CV. Notice how he has to “pick nits” in his denials. Working too hard at denying anything but his formal, by the book, methodology that can easily deny was never followed....so it must not provide anything in the way of a benefit.
RE: Ten to one Fauci uses it himself...
Fauci has the special talent of speaking off both sides of his mouth — PUBLICLY TOO.
On the third week of March 2020, he said this:
‘Of Course’ I Would Prescribe Chloroquine to Coronavirus Patients

PHILADELPHIA INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS STIGALL ( Audio on the above link _), Partial transcript:
A partial transcript is as follows:
CHRIS STIGALL:If you’re a doctor listening to me right now and a patient with coronavirus feels like they want to try [Chloroquine] and you’re their doctor, you’re not Anthony Fauci the guy running the coronavirus task force, would you say ‘alright, we’ll give it a whirl’?
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: Yeah, of course, particularly if people have no other option. You want to give them hope. In fact, for physicians in this country, these drugs are approved drugs for other reasons. They’re anti-malaria drugs and they’re drugs against certain autoimmune diseases, like lupus. Physicians throughout the country can prescribe that in an off-label way. Which means they can write it for something it was not originally approved for. People do that all the time, and it really is an individual choice between the physician and his or her patient as to whether or not they want to do that.
