President Trump is pitching a medicine for COVID-19 sufferers that has yet to be determined effective or safe for the virus. His advocacy of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine runs counter to what his own health experts say. APFactCheck

President Donald Trump arrives to speak at a coronavirus task force briefing at the White House, Sunday, April 5, 2020, in Washington.

His straight-ahead advocacy of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug, is the latest and one of the most consequential examples of Trump and public-health authorities not being on the same page in the pandemic. THE FACTS: He’s making unverified claims about a drug that can have serious side effects and may not work. The drug has not been approved as a treatment for COVID-19 and Trump’s own health experts say more studies are needed to know whether it’s safe and effective to use.

On Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health and member of the White House coronavirus task force, said Americans shouldn’t consider hydroxychloroquine a “knockout drug.”

FactCheck YOU ARE THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. YOU ARE FAKE NEWS.

FactCheck The overall safety of the drug has been tested in clinical trials. There are side effects and risks involved with every drug, even those sold over the counter. Why would you not try anything that can help?

FactCheck Why is it safe to use as a anti malarial but not for covid 19 ?

FactCheck Except it works!!!

FactCheck TrumpMadness

FactCheck FDA has approved the drug & it has been safely used for 70 years. So what is the big concern? Doctor/patient discuss usage & Make decision. Trials in a France, our west coast docs plus anecdotal info from others shows it can lower the viral load and patients don’t get as ill.

FactCheck Oh it is safe, the success reports are out there, just not disclosed here. Interesting. And he's not pitching, he is listening to hundreds of doctors who back it up as well. I mean, if you prefer to just wait and see to be 100% sure while people die. That's you!

FactCheck Does he have shares in the drug?

FactCheck Does he own stock in the Company that makes it

FactCheck Based on the drug given France to 2000 patients only 7 died due to other complications and Over 6200 doctors are using today With success! I guarantee if the writers were in the situation with family or themselves they would request it! Another attempt at opinionistic I gotcha!

FactCheck LIES AND FAKE NEWS - FDA has approved for use - Safe - 100 million have taken the drug over 50+ years - Proven helpful across the globe - NO OTHER CURRENT ALTERNATIVES STOP LYING AND PLAYING POLITICS

FactCheck If your loved was was criticallly ill, would you refuse the drug because it is not proven. Stop this madness

FactCheck You guys truely are the party press...I along with millions of others, have taken chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine as malaria prohylaxis for years as military. Literally posted on Veterans page for anyone who has had side effects. No one spoke up....curb your hate to save lives

FactCheck And India banned all exports of it yesterday.

FactCheck

FactCheck

FactCheck The AP has always enjoyed Fear Mongering almost as much as Trump Hating.

FactCheck I’ve been on this since 2016.

FactCheck You know it's reassuring when he says 'whaddya got to lose' or calls the drug 'beautiful'. totallynormal

FactCheck AP fact check is worthless

FactCheck It’s not being used to cure it’s being used to treat the fatal common symptom that these diseases have - lungs filling with fluid. The malaria drug doesn’t treat the virus it treats the symptom. If I get this, please throw everything you can at it!

FactCheck Just ignore him! Listen to the scientists, END, PERIOD!! It’s like talking to a wall!! Ignore him!

FactCheck Maybe he wants a Nobel

FactCheck There is a history of quackery in America but I never thought I’d see its President involved

FactCheck Let’s see, experimental drug or die.... If they read the news and not just make it up Doctors use drugs off label all the time. It’s the APs bitter hated for Trump that causes them to creat a false hysteria. When this is over they should be tried for crimes against America

FactCheck Can’t be too bad Australia has just ordered thousands of courses

FactCheck So what

FactCheck If some people fail to use the word experts or science believe they would have failed. These words are used as oppressive thinking that anything that does not fit this is non science, forgetting when dealing with unknown like COVID19 everybody are speculators even if it ends as C

FactCheck So are the several other 'treatments' experiments. And? Gotta start somewhere since media has made this HUGE

FactCheck Can it hurt? What's the harm in trying since we have zero drugs for C-19?

FactCheck

FactCheck POTUS Surgeon_General OANN RandPaul SenTomCotton Jim_Jordan I have Lupus & have taken Hydroxychloroquine 200mg 2x/day for 11 years. It's a very old drug, antimalaria drug. When asked about med, my doctor said it ruptures the molecule body, (my words).

FactCheck

FactCheck Pretty sure I could be liable for damages and possibly criminally liable if I start advising people to take prescription drugs when I'm not a licensed doctor.

FactCheck The media mob needs to come up with new questions at the press conferences. It’s getting seriously repetitive.

FactCheck Why is the media against this medicine which has shown greater results to people who were suffering with COVID-19, it seems the media enjoys when people are dying so that they can blame it on trump

FactCheck People on this thread!! OMG

FactCheck

motivate51 FactCheck Has anyone checked for any recent unusual investments in BigPharma such as Plaquenil and all of the generics? Like the mikecohen $130,000 payoff, maybe some cronies went shopping for him. He's stupid yes, but he sure sounds like a desperate con-man.

FactCheck If you don’t want it don’t take it. Some want to try it. Every med has potential side effects

FactCheck

FactCheck But not what the FDA says.

FactCheck AP, shame on you for being so negative on this potentially life saving drug. Glad Trump is getting the word out and if this drug saves even one life, his hype will have been worth it. On the plus side, you're helping raise awareness nevertheless.

TheRyanParker FactCheck Dear AP: You spelled “MafiaLeechTrump ALWAYS metastasizing MoscowMitchMcCancer...it’s what Grifters Over Patriotism do🥺🤬” wrong...

FactCheck But what about drs that are saying it helps. CNN had a DR on the other day that was infected and he took it and it lessened the severity of his symptoms, for example.

FactCheck Follow the $$ and see who is invested in it

FactCheck It worked on my sister in law! Listen abusers of the president listen to me! Pick something else to abuse him about! This drug is already approved by the FDA. Why do you want people to die?

FactCheck Oh for God’s sake. In the last two minutes, I’ve seen the left bitch about this drug from both sides. Bitching if people don’t get it, bitching that it’s being given.

FactCheck Wrong. There are studies that shows it work. It saves lives. Why is the AP against saving lives?

FactCheck If I’m dying give it to me. Simple! commonsense

FactCheck prove it doesn’t work.

FactCheck Right to Try for those with no other option -

FactCheck And you wonder why you people are not trusted anymore

FactCheck Maybe true but they issued it to all the GIs in Vietnam..including my pops! Can u fact chx with a Vet doc

FactCheck WHY IS HE WALKING FREE, HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL!!

lbaldor FactCheck Novartis sandoz Profiteering

FactCheck And yet millions of us took chloroquine every Monday for months and survived both the Vietnam war and the chloroquine. Get a grip and try anything that will protect the USA!!!

FactCheck And the is running articles that are counter to saving AmericanLives! Why is the MSM against trying drugs that are cheap that can help but don’t harm the patient where the side-effects are minimal? What is the deal here? Those drugs used as a combo are working in FRA, AUS

FactCheck I do believe that 90% of the counties doctors are prescribing this drug for their patients. New York is the only state in the nation that you can only get this drug from the hospital. Wake up NY.

FactCheck AP is FakeNews The Chicago study came out yesterday and reports confirm its effectiveness.

FactCheck I was under the impression that the FDA approved the drug for off label use. Is that not accurate. If I had the virus and thought this drug had a chance of working I would want it. Hey what have you got to lose. It is safe to take. Let doctors make the decision with patients!

FactCheck STOP THE FEAR-MONGERING! 🔥 The WHO failed the world & the CDC, FAILED AMERICA! 🔥 48M Americans have lost their jobs! 1/3 of the workforce! 🔥 Total CoVid19 deaths are currently less than reg. flu/annum. 🔥 MORE will perish from CoVid19 related suicides, abuse & addictions.

FactCheck He must have a stake on that drug too.

FactCheck Follow the money.

FactCheck Trump knows you are a rag...he knows FauciFraud and why wouldn't you be cheering the drugs WORK?

FactCheck Who cares...in four days he will deny he said anything of the sort and accuse reporters of asking nasty questions...

FactCheck Yet, right under you damn noses this shit goes on. Daily this goes on.

FactCheck Trump thinks taking hydroxychloroquine is a good idea if you have Coronavirus. He doesn’t tell you side effects. Nausea vomiting irregular heart beat, heart failure, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, that’s just a few.

FactCheck Tell your doctor if u experience serious side effects muscle weakness,twitching,uncontrolled movement,loss-balance/coordination,blurred vision,light sensitivity,seeing halos around lights,pale skin,easy bruising/bleeding,confusion,unusual thoughts or behavior,seizures/convulsions

FactCheck Uniquely amongst world leaders he’s not going for political heed immunity by noticing what others are doing. He can’t help being an arsehole

FactCheck Fake news again! Health experts said no such thing. They said use lacks a clinical study to determine its value. However several countries are using it and have found it effective. We used it in Vietnam. I wonder how many Vietnam vets contracted the virus?

FactCheck 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴🙃🙃🙃🙃

FactCheck It doesn't run counter to what many doctors are saying. Also you still need a prescription, so yet more garbage reporting from the AP

FactCheck So? What’s the problem? He wants to find something quicker than the bureaucracy allows? Since when is that a bad thing?

FactCheck The President is a Lying Corrupt Racist Criminal with Blood On His Hands.

FactCheck Firstly they are not HIS health experts given most of their funding comes from BillGatesVirus & Perpetual Never Ending Vax Co. People are walking up in droves over this mass Gates/Birx/Fauci induced hype and it's uravelling fast due to morons like AP and other fake news media.

FactCheck So when the results come back positive, we can revisit this? I'm sure you will have moved on to investigatng POTUS Trump for his handling of the virus by then. MouthpieceOfDNC

_FDAwriter FactCheck You, not Trump, are killing people!

FactCheck 6200 doctors have already stated it’s the drug to use. Duh

FactCheck It seems to be working for lots of people

FactCheck You people are morons. It is safe and has been used for 70 yrs. Here are a list of medicines that have been proven in randomized trials yet used every day off label. List of drugs known for off-label use - Wikipedia

FactCheck Why us President Trump impersonating a Dr? Isn’t that against the law?

FactCheck This is a disgusting game if semantics. There is no time to conduct a full double blind trial. All we have is necessarily anecdotal, but it is compelling.

FactCheck It has proven effective in a number of countries where it is used. Sorry but there is no time to 'prove' it through the normal trials. Its called an emergency.

FactCheck Nonsense

FactCheck

FactCheck Damm. AP against President and spinning statements as well. Thank god we can hear the President directly and know what he's been saying

FactCheck Shocker.

FactCheck You guys arent what you used to be.

FactCheck Stop others need those drugs are running low

FactCheck FakeNews Trump said it may or may not work today but people are dying so let’s try. Meanwhile in India

FactCheck Off label drugs are used all the time. It is between a patient and their doctor. Do you people really hope it fails? Just to hurt the president? People have become so sick.

FactCheck Again, multiple doctors in multiple countries have written on the use of the drug and effectiveness. It has been approved by the FDA. Doctors have also started hoarding it...that should tell you something. “Journalists” What a joke you have become.

FactCheck That's a lie...it has been proven..such liers

FactCheck Population control Wuhan style.

FactCheck Could you please report on all the test groups that doctors around the country are doing with the drug? Very successfully.

FactCheck We’ll see.

FactCheck THE FACTS: IT’S WORKING

FactCheck We should be trusting Dr Fauci not this maniac.

FactCheck realDonaldTrump Greatest President ever.👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

FactCheck It's been approved by the FDA. Maybe it will work. It's worth trying.

FactCheck Aspirational. Not reality

FactCheck Someone check and see which politicians bought stock in that drug

FactCheck Fascinating audio intake filtering by the —- the consistent message from the WH is if your doctor thinks it is worth the risk to try to help you, then your doctor is allowed off label use. Are youguys just being intentionally obtuse? What is your motivation.

FactCheck Well damn. It seems like the left would like nothing more than for people to suffer.

FactCheck Had they something else to propose?

FactCheck This is FakeNewsMedia

FactCheck No it’s not counter... they just want to be sure before they agree

FactCheck I mean this reads so BIASED, I can understand that the drug has to be further tested to validate the effectiveness against COVID-19, but questioning if it´s safe? really? its a very old drug, know for a long time, used not only for malaria but arthritis, you really look dumb...

FactCheck You first, Donald. You first.

FactCheck I would wait for more info from medical or research experts and not a business man!

FactCheck AP, stop saying this BS please!!!!! You are the ones being irresponsible! Please stop!

FactCheck Such fake news the drug is safe and people are getting better. This drug has been around for years just crazy because Scientist go by a different set of rules

FactCheck He should be the guinea pig for the human trial.

FactCheck So the alternative is to just die and not even try? The left and the media are murderers

Davidlaz FactCheck He flat out lied when he said 'the FDA approved it.' They didn't approve it for COVID-19.

FactCheck It’s ridiculous that no-one can shut him up. Is everyone around him on the take?!?

FactCheck Other than the literal hundreds of reports that have poured in from US doctors seeing remarkable results, studies from France, Italy, China and Iceland reporting high 90s efficiency in both treatment and prophylactic use? But adds for lipitor turning 1% improvement into 36% r ok

FactCheck AP....what the Hell happened to your reliable truth based news?!?!?!?!!! YOU HAVE GONE TO SHIT

FactCheck Stay away from any drugs MoronDon our presidont says are “tremendous”....they could kill you

FactCheck That is FAKE NEWS!!! Trump said what have we got to loose and it is working for thousands of patients around the world

FactCheck Well luckily there is already an abundance of proof it is highly successful in many cases. Your need, as msm, to deliberately withhold lifesaving information is one for the books. Tell India and france for example this news. Good luck EnemyOfThePeople

FactCheck Welp, if we are in a doomsday scenario as the bs media wants everyone to believe, I would hope someone would try anything possible instead of doing nothing at all. Scumbag libs would have a problem with him even if he cured cancer so....

FactCheck Fact check: Boston Medical knows more than you, Democrat media.

FactCheck They may counter but it has SAVED some lives and that is a fact. SOOOO the so calles experts MIGHT be wrong.

FactCheck What does he get from this?

FactCheck Follow the money

FactCheck Digging their own grave. AP is a joke.

FactCheck Debby downer news. Let’s see. They would rather have people just die without trying something other than sit and watch them die. They are sick and sadistic people the media are.

FactCheck It is being used very effectively all over the world. Americans and their physicians will make the decisions regarding treatment. You guys are straight Trump haters. 🙄

So far there is a ton on anecdotal evidence building from the patients who've taken it and recovered.

FactCheck Does trump/kushner inc. have any financial stake in the meds? Or any other republiCON he is connected with?

FactCheck Meanwhile, lupus sufferers like my sister who also need that drug, are going to have a hard time refilling their prescriptions.

FactCheck If I was diagnosed I would certainly be willing to give it a try.

FactCheck that's because he probably has a financial stake in big pharma

FactCheck AP needs to be shut down for the sake of national security

FactCheck Stop misinformation FactCheck! Hydroxychloroquine is currently being used in Europe and North America by Doctors to treat Covid-19. It shouldn’t always be about hating Trump.

MaidenFan663 FactCheck Honest question, why are even following the stuff that he says? If you took his advise and turned it 180 degrees he would doing the right thing almost all of the time. Stop feeding his ego so we can live, please.

FactCheck Always remember, Trump responds only to Bribes and Kickbacks. One day it’s the Pillow Man and one day it’s pills.

FactCheck Fact check this: if patients start on it early enough, it has shown great results when taken with azithromycin.

FactCheck It's gonna be one of those stories again.. 218,000,000 results

FactCheck I’d love to hear what you have to say if you were hospitalized due to corona viral infection.

FactCheck Just like a drug addict would...

FactCheck Hack - what he has always said he has seen non clinical data that shows some possible benefits for those suffering and hero’s taking care of them. In addition to today saying I am not a doctor So report accurately unless you are reporting your expenses to joe as a gift in kind.

FactCheck You'll be on the wrong side of history. VIP and Politicians in my country have been taking it for a while, it works these guys wouldn't do it otherwise.

FactCheck Trump is obviously smarter than any doctors. Just check his awesome IQ.

FactCheck This will backfire on the media, stupendously.

FactCheck Thankfully, it’s still up to the doctors in this country to choose - or not choose - to prescribe this drug for their patients, as they see fit. Anything else is just for show, albeit painfully ill-advised and potentially very dangerous.

FactCheck

FactCheck AP is pitching fear and doom as more and more cases show the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. I wonder why the AP is pitching this negative and factually misleading angle? What say you AP?

FactCheck If RudyGiuliani did in fact by $2M in Novartis in Feb as reported, this could get very interesting. SnakeOil Although the Senate proved they don’t care what Trump does.

FactCheck look at the report out by Doctors in France, listen to the Doctors on the front line using this medicine, listen to survivors who were given this medicine. STOP THE BIAS, if it saved one life(and it has, plus more) it is worth it and should be given!! DISGRACEFUL REPORTING!

FactCheck This WON'T age well. Right to Try. I bet the author of this tweet would take it if desperate, but we should not? Political agenda? 'Unapproved' Wasn't this approved by FDA for off-label use since early tests results prove very effective? What's your point?

FactCheck Unapproved by whom? Doctors all over the world are saving lives with this medicine. Thousands are well many days early from using this drug. Nice try AP. Anything to bash Trump. PATHETIC

FactCheck The Associated Press giving fake news? There are already ready studies on the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine It has been confirmed in serious research here in Brazil, China and other nations that doses should be applied from the beginning, but not in the acute phase.

FactCheck Do not listen to Trump he is no expert.

FactCheck I wonder if AP and similar news sites will retract these stories if hydroxychloroquine proves to be an effective treatment

FactCheck It has been proven effective.

FactCheck Is it me or is realDonaldTrump wants to play DrJosephMengele? Or does he have stock in the drugs? followthemoney. Or both? FailureInChief

FactCheck To think that for years, I trusted stories from the AP and now, I TRUST NOTHING from the AP. When did every large supposed “NEWS” organizations become a propaganda mouthpiece for the democrats and the rabid left? Absolute Power corrupts absolutely, THAT and a lot of cash. 2.2 T

FactCheck Beyond irresponsible and incompetent

FactCheck Please tell me someone is digging into ownership of the company(s) that manufacture this drug. Follow the money!

FactCheck I worry more that people won't take because of your reporting. Let's say it only works in 10% of the cases that can be 10k to 20k saved. Doctors would be all over Twitter if they felt this wasn't a good treatment in some cases. TrumpPressBriefing Hydroxycloroquine

FactCheck Do you fact check everyone, or just those with whom you disagree?

FactCheck False

FactCheck Take the Drug or die? Idiots that choose death are the same idiots that believe these health experts! Side effects or Death? Idiots

FactCheck gets it wrong, AGAIN. FakeNews

FactCheck Watching the media right now is a joke. How do you write this article with a straight face. Trump will win big in November

FactCheck The media is rooting for the thing to fail! Now if the was Democrat President they would be singing their praises!

FactCheck If I get COVID-19, give me Hydroxycloroquine , I’ll take my damn chances against that or Bill Gates profit making scheme!

FactCheck Confirmation they know Cannabis isn't a schedule 1 drug.

FactCheck You know I just thought the journalists in the Briefings were just being combative and argumentative I didn’t realize they just had limited intelligence that’s why they keep asking the same question over and over

FactCheck Factcheckthis👇

FactCheck Alternatively you can die?

FactCheck There’s been studies and success stories by patients who took it. What’s wrong with you guys?

FactCheck Doctors around the country who actually successfully treated patients with it would know better, than “experts” who haven’t treated patients in years. Also never treated a patient with COVID 19. I’ll take first hand knowledge over experts any day.

FactCheck OK that just isn’t true have your reporters been sleeping during the White House briefing’s?First of all these medications are approved by the FDA already in use for other illnesses and people that have been given them have had minimal side effects if any and NO ONE has died

FactCheck Associated Press News is still being determined whether be true or even honest. So AP has a lot in common

FactCheck If I had Covid-19 I would take it!

FactCheck OUR PLANET IS DYING FROM CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED BY BURNING FOSSIL FUELS! FLOODS,FIRES,DROUGHTS,CYCLONES,TORNADOES,ICE MELT ON POLES,SEA LEVEL RISE WILL INCREASE! WE HAVE CLIMATE EMERGENCY! BERNIE IS OUR ONLY HOPE! OTHERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING,TRUMP'S THE WORST ONE!

FactCheck wants lots and lots of dead people, so they can blame it on Trump before the election. You Soros surrogates are a sorry excuse for 'journalists'

FactCheck HQ is an approved drug by the FDA. Therefore, its safety record has been approved by the FDA. Phase 3 clinical trials, which HQ has gone through decades ago, provides the safety profile of the drug. It doesnt matter what malady its prescribed for the drugs safety was approved

FactCheck Dont really need it on the West Coast 325 Fatalities from Covid-19 in California since January 1st Flu same period about 1,030

FactCheck If you are on deaths doorstep what’s to lose?

FactCheck Tons of doctors here and all over the world have said it helped people recover. Who cares if Trump said it works or not. This isn’t the time to play politics while people are dying. Stop with the stupid politics and worry about helping save lives!

FactCheck Just stop fake news, just stop

FactCheck You have nailed the 'bespeaks' doctrine on the head. Bespeaks doctrine is a warning to read an investment prospectus and not rely on a salesman's verbal pitch. Taj Mahal investors lost to Trump's obscurantism In re DONALD J. TRUMP CASINO SECURITIES LITIGATION 7 F.3d 357 (1993)

FactCheck He has a feeling. Gut instinct. I’m sure ge wouldn’t recommend it without reason. If not solid scientifically backed reason, then he probably is financially invested in it. As successful businessman, we should trust that.

FactCheck That’s not a fact check. It’s anti Trump propaganda. They are using hydroxychlorquin in many countries with success. They aren’t just using it for the fun of it.

FactCheck Meanwhile it's been cleared for use by the FDA. Keep it up, 'journalists.'

FactCheck Wtf is he doing? trumptanic trumpvirus TrumpVirusCatastrophe

FactCheck Wow! This drug is being successfully used by doctors around the world and provides a sliver of hope. Yet, you hate Trump so much that you can’t let it go. Next, tweet praise for China.

FactCheck AP hates Trump more than trying to save lives.

FactCheck It’s so funny and sad to read the Tweets in this thread. Most people have no clue that Novartis donated tablets to the US. They also don’t realize that this is an inexpensive drug. This is so exhausting!

FactCheck He isn't pitching anything. He said it may or may not work but he is hopeful.

FactCheck Time to save lives, no more politics

FactCheck God forbid there's hope. The AP and the LEFT won't have it. They can't.

FactCheck “His own” being key phrase. FireFauci

FactCheck Cease and Desist POTUS ! You were elected to save lives not put them in harms way.

FactCheck TOTAL LIE it has been authorized for use now in the fight against COVID-19. It would not have EUA status if any of your made-up story was real. Now you know why your stupid reporter was batted down Sunday.

FactCheck Didn’t he say that he took it?

FactCheck .But his top advisor Dr. Alex Jones told him it is the cure.

FactCheck It's going to be noted that the media killed more people with their 'coverage' of this virus. Have you not seen how this has been helping people with recovery? Can your social media person who writes these 'tweets' try and down some aquarium cleaner and 'tweet' how they feel?

FactCheck I'll bet if you were dying and had a choice you would be requesting it. Poor reporting and one sided. No wonder people don't trust news today.

FactCheck I'm not gonna do a press researchers work for them, but I'll bet Trump's family makes $ from one of these brands...Plaquenil, Hydroquin, Axemal, Dolquine, Quensyl, and Quinoric. Do the easy thing and follow the money. I haveto work tomorrow. Kthxbye.

cueninja FactCheck I bet he is making money off this medicine! 💔🇺🇸💰😢😡
