hydroxychloroquine:
Trump: "I just think it’s something — you know the expression, I’ve used it for certain reasons: “What do you have to lose?” What do you have to lose? And a lot of people are saying that when — and are taking it — if you’re a doctor, a nurse, a first responder, a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before the fact is good. But what do you have to lose? They say, “Take it.”

I’m not looking at it one way or the other, but we want to get out of this. If it does work, it would be a shame if we didn’t do it early. But we have some very good signs. So that’s hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

And, again, you have to go through your medical people, get the approval. But I’ve seen things that I sort of like. So what do I know? I’m not a doctor. I’m not a doctor. But I have common sense.


What you might lose is your life. The results from the first major study on hydroxychloroquine are out and pretty damning.

"About 28 percent who were given hydroxychloroquine plus usual care died, versus 11 percent of those getting routine care alone. About 22 percent of those getting the drug plus azithromycin died too..."

And it's not just Trump that was pushing this deadly drug.  Fox News between March 23 and April 6 made 275 claims of positive usage and/or promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine and only 29 instances of doubt during the same time frame.

Is this more poor 'lethal' reporting from Fox News about hydroxychloroquine?
