As I have said in earlier post….
Fauci has lost his cautious view about using malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for the corona virus….
Trump & Co. will NOT wait for a vaccine 12 to 18 months out…
It should be noted that there are reports that some doctor’s and hospitals are ALREADY prescribing the drug to virus patients…
The Trump administration is pushing ahead with a plan to “surge” the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to coronavirus hot zones around the country — even though there is little evidence that the treatment is effective, and ample proof that it can harm some patients.
Health experts have preached caution about putting the drug and its decadesold cousin chloroquine into wide use without the benefit of data from ongoing clinical trials. Hype surrounding the drugs has frustrated federal health officials who say that outsized attention on still-unproven treatmentsfrom the president and his top aides, including trade adviser Peter Navarro, could fuel false hope.
As the coronavirus outbreak grinds on, here are six things you need to know about chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine….

Jack,
I think James was pointing out that Fauci’s view of being cautious has lost (not that Fauci is no longer cautious about the drug), and the use of it will go full steam ahead because of the President who has an Uncle who graduated from MIT thinks it is a good idea…

Sounds like Mike Bloomberg telling the 2016 Democratic Convention that New Yorkers such as he “know a phoney when they see one.”

Thanks Bdog

Obviously, this should only be prescribed by doctors. Fauci has tried to stick to the facts, but he can’t publicly contradict Trump too hard. Trump obviously has no idea what he is talking about on things like this and acts like he owns stock in the company or something.
