'Fears of people taking Hydroxychloroquine in unregulated ways are quite real' | Sky News AustraliaUS correspondent Alex Shephard says US President Donald Trump’s admission he takes Hydroxychloroquine is “dangerous” because “fears of people taking this drug in unsupervised or unregulated ways are quite real”. \n\nPresident Trump revealed he was taking anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine this week, prompting doctors across the US to warn against it. \n\n“The President’s been hyping this drug for a while, and now he’s making himself the poster child,” Mr Shephard said. \n\n“He’s saying that if he’s taking it and he doesn’t have the coronavirus, there must be something to it. \n\n“But I think the conversation is dangerous because it could lead people to take this drug that they shouldn’t be taking, but it’s also a distraction from the larger problem which is that we are still quite far away from a vaccine.” \n realDonaldTrump So dangerous! Lol. realDonaldTrump Why is it Trump's fault if dumb asses take it 'unsupervised'? realDonaldTrump It's a prescription drug.. been around for 40 years
