Navarro Confirms Argument With Fauci Over Hydroxychloroquine

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro Monday confirmed reports of a heated argument between himself and Dr. Anthony Fauci over the weekend concerning the use of hydroxychloroquine while continuing to push for the use of the drug in the fight against COVID-19.

"If we didn't have disagreement or debate in the Trump administration, this administration would not be as strong as it is," Navarro told CNN's "New Day" host John Berman. He also confirmed the argument in a separate Fox News interview.

"Let me focus on the issue at hand," Navarro told Berman. "Does hydroxychloroquine work? That was the subject in the task force meeting this Saturday."

At the end of the day, FEMA has 29 million tablets of the drug in a warehouse, and the White House task force agreed unanimously that FEMA would start surging them into the nation's "hot zones."

Navarro added that in the New York hospitals' system, "virtually every patient" with COVID-19 symptoms is given a cycle of hydroxychloroquine.

Navarro had brought several studies to the meeting, reports Axios, but Fauci argued that they contained anecdotal, not scientific evidence.

"There are now numerous scientific studies that indicate potential efficacy," Navarro argued on Monday, adding that he'd let Fauci speak for himself, "but I'll have two words for you. Second opinion."

"What are your qualifications to weigh in on medicines more than Dr. Anthony Fauci?" Berman replied. "Why should we listen to you and not Dr. Fauci?"

Navarro suggested that CNN bring in other doctors who can speak more about the benefits of the drug, but that his own qualifications are that he is a "social scientist" with a PhD and he understands "how to read statistical studies."

Coincidence?

“Fauci is a Hillary lover,” And you know that how?

Someone produced a fawning email he wrote to her years ago. Frankly I think that if you're a swamp bureaucrat and did NOT express your love for the Clintons it was a career-ender.

He should. Have you seen his fawning, obsequious emails to Hillary in the Wikileaks dump?

There's a long tradition of clashes between doctors and scientists.

Yes, they have gone from attacking Trump to attacking the American People.

They will hear from us in November.

“If it’s not effective, why did India just ban its export?”

Britain has band export of hydroxide chlorine as well:

Watch what they do, do not listen to what they say.

Exactly this.

Now is the time for empiricism. If it can be observed to be working in most cases, it’s what you have to run with.

The detailed science can come later.

Fauci reminds me of a mad scientist in a lab coat experimenting on victims gagged and bound to an autopsy table.

DesertRhino ~ Fauci is a Hillary lover

Pelham ~ And you know that how?

Because Fauci, himself, said so in an email. Look it up.

You bet, Fauci is a rat mole. There is a reason the MSM scumbags go into panic if he is not at the briefing.

"I like the cut of Navarro’s jib, metaphorically speaking."

I can see the Dr storming off in protest to get a gig on CNN because of this. It is also a warning if you as too what was said & by whom, 2 can play at that game. Rumors on Bannon's podast today is that Fauchi fought tooth and nail against POTUS closing down our flights to China and Europe, the Dr kinda one on Europe, but when the history books are written, who will look wiser.....
