Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday said there's no evidence that shows the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is effective at treating COVID-19.
"Clearly the scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of efficacy for it," Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor, said during a CNN interview.
Fauci said evidence also shows the likelihood that the drug can cause severe irregular heart rhythms.
"There was suspicion of that for a while, but as data comes in, it becomes more clear," Fauci said.
The pronouncements mark Fauci's strongest warnings yet against the drug and puts him at odds with President Trump, who has embraced the drug as a "game changer" and a "miracle."
Earlier this month, Trump even said he had been taking hydroxychloroquine, in combination with zinc, as a way to prevent getting COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. He called the research on hospitalized patients “a Trump enemy statement.”
“I think it gives you an additional level of safety,” Trump said at the time, downplaying warnings that the drug can cause heart problems in certain patients.
To date, Fauci has told Americans not to assume the drug could be a "knockout" against the virus, because the clinical evidence on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine was lacking.
Earlier this month, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Fauci leads, announced a 2,000-patient study to determine whether hydroxychloroquine, when combined with the antibiotic azithromycin, “can prevent hospitalization and death from COVID-19."
"Although there is anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin may benefit people with COVID-19, we need solid data from a large randomized, controlled clinical trial,” Fauci said in a statement announcing the trial.

Collusion?
They don’t which is why they are using THE vaccine as the new goal posts.
Oh, god no. Too close to nukes there.
Pence goes back with Fauci. And Birx.
This may be a real black slot on Pence, sadly.
but suddenly, it has "cardiac" adverse effects....
I’d like to hear Fauci talk about the NYU Grossman School of Medicine study that examined the use of zinc with hydroxychloroquine and accounted for when the treatment was given. That one is hard to ignore.
“I’m completely uninvested in quinine’s success”
Quinine was declared dangerous years ago and no one is supposed to take it.
Hydroxychloroquine is effective at treating Coronavirus [Chinese Bio-weapon virus], and that is part of the point of this thread.
I have been watching the use of HCQ for months and many doctors have used it successfully for Wuhan virus in the early stages, used with zinc.
If you don’t like it don’t take it.
It has saved many lives.
What is the mortality of COVID-19?
“this drug has been around since the 30’s I believe....and millions of prescriptions are given out for non covid....”
Immunosuppressive drug and anti-parasite, it can treat and prevent malaria. It can also treat lupus and arthritis.
Chloroquine (CQ) was the cornerstone of anti-malarial treatment in Africa and South America for many decades. Then the bug started getting resistant to it.
CDC used to recommend it when traveling to regions with Malaria. “Medicines for the Prevention of Malaria While Traveling Hydroxychloroquine (PlaquenilTM)”: https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/resources/pdf/fsp/drugs/Hydroxychloroquine.pdf
*****Early diagnosis, early isolation and early treatment with at least 3 days of HCQ-AZ result in a significantly better clinical outcome and contagiosity in patients with COVID-19 than other treatments.****
I believe the “Z” in AZ is zinc.
It needs to be used with the HCQ.
This article is propaganda to stop the use of a drug that saves lives and cures people instead of putting them in ICU,
You will have to look that up on your own.
I just post what I know about.
Let me know when you find out.
Pence is as worthless as tits on a bore hog.
CNN=Fake News
Fauci said evidence also shows the likelihood that the drug can cause severe irregular heart rhythms.<<<
Fauci= Fake top infectious disease doctor,
Trump should ask Fauci, as the TOP infectious disease Doctor, to immediately publish that 65 year study.....
(and as any easy visual side effect...Hand him the end of an unknown length of rope...to which Fauci would reply...”Whats that for”)
“...used with zinc.”
The part MSM and Big Pharma minions leave out. Purposely.
