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..

Especially since the MSM is accountable to their CCP masters.
Every word is propagandized by our domestic enemies.
They warned us years ago: “By any means necessary”
Don’t believe the EU or Yahoo news. No evidence it works doesn’t mean any evidence it has failed. Doctors have used it with some good results. Maybe it won’t pan out, but the news is being manipulated.
They also have lots of articles saying sunlight can’t kill the virus, because a Republican congressman doctor said it could.
But I’ve read sunlight and fresh air are beneficial for multiple reasons.

Partisan Media Shills update.
Reuters mis-states what the EC said (Lying).
“The efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 patients has to date not been proved”, does not mean that there is no evidence - just that the evidence has not yet met all their bureaucratic requirements for their official designation.
There is plenty of evidence. Several Countries in the EC have already approved its use for COVID-19 - based on the substantial and varied evidence that is out there.
“No Proof” and “no evidence” are simply lies.
“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.”
Doesn’t have to be evidence. According to the left, “could” means “will.” Like, Climate Change “could” wipe out all life within the next 11 years and 3 months.”
Just like monkeys “could” fly out of my butt.
They ought to round up these unelected bureaucrats and shoot them.
“Pretty much. I can’t remember when SARS or N1H1 was happening.”
I remember the press running with SARS. They tried making it look like Bush was doing nothing.
I don’t recall any press meltdowns and fearmongering when Obama was POTUS and swine flu broke out. There was basically nothing coming out of the mouths of the press.
Bottom line, the worldwide press is a pack of moronic maggots that only cares about their pursuit of world socialism and couldn’t care less about people dying unless it helps them with their political goals.

So which is it?
Fake news are gonna fake.
TDS really is a mental illness. These idiots will deny their own population an effective treatment just to stick it to Trump.
“No Proof” is miles apart from “No Evidence”!
There is no proof that neither the EU nor Reuters have an ounce of brains between themselves.
There may be no evidence that neither the EU nor Reuters have an ounce of brains between themselves.
SW Washington state, Dr. Ban.
Wow a lot of posting about this drug. Another one from Snopes. I guess today is destroy hope for a treatment day.
If I heard there is some testing happening now in New York. We should get some results soon with the number of doctors trying the drug out.
So far I heard positive results, I have not heard of anybody dying from using it. The drug has not killed anybody. Maybe the dumb fish tank person, but that drug version was not regulated and approved for humans. Who know what other stuff was in it.
Looks like the Democratics are really hoping this drug treatment fails. They must know if it works (COVID-19 becomes just like a flu) Trump will be elected in Nov.
From the Article: touted by U.S. President Donald Trump as a potential miracle cure against COVID-19
He stated it has potential. Yes the drug show potential. It needs to verified, and validated. Nothing wrong on using the drug now.
This whole pandemic IS Trump.
Agreed...
“I don’t recall any press meltdowns and fearmongering when Obama was POTUS and swine flu broke out.”
Or H1N1 novel virus, which many millions of masks were used for, but CDC did not supply.
Or avian flu, which decimated chicken and turkey production, killng tens of millions of those birds.
Oh wait, those were under The One that made Chrissy’s leg tingle and The View gals slide off their chairs...
