White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday brushed aside the opinion of the administration's top public health officials as he defended a drug touted as a potential coronavirus cure by President Donald Trump despite a lack of evidence that it is effective.
"I take exception with Giroir's analysis. He hasn't looked at the data," said Navarro, who does not have a medical background, when asked on CNN about the remarks from Giroir, who is a pediatrician.criticized by medical experts Navarro also claimed a study showed hydroxychloroquine was more effective than remdesivir in treating COVID-19, but it was not clear what study he was referring to."My view of this now is that doctors' opinions are a dime a dozen," Navarro said."And you've got some doctors who say it doesn't work, you've got some doctors who say it does."
"It's not a both sides thing because the country has a way of approving treatments through broad studies that are blind and so on," Sciutto said.But there has not been two sides among the administration's top health officials, who have said the studies make it clear that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in treating COVID-19 – including Giroir, Dr.
you're telling me those doctors SAVED LIVES with hydroxychloroquine and we're we trying to discredit them instead of using this information to do research, conduct studies, and find a way to stop this virus Is it because y’all want people to keep dying to make Trump look bad?
Another Trump flunky whose opinion isn’t worth one red cent.
Navarro is just one more brain dead member of a totally brain dead administration. His opinions are worth nothing at all.
And that data and fact stuff is just hearsay. I am surprised he knows how to inhale air.
He must have bought stock in the company and either a low IQ or no morals.
He should be in the same room with thump at the mental hospital.
And why on earth would anyone pay any attention whatsoever to what a trade advisor has to say about any medical treatment? What moronic fool would do that? How stupid do you have to be?
Another Trump ass kisser.
Vote these fools out on November 3rd!
Why Trump & he get along so well.
There is nothing more American than a government official going on TV, saying this, and having thousands cheer him on because they, too, did a Google search and learned the truth. Right wing blogs vs science & medicine = 'both sides'
Another one of realDonaldTrump ‘s parrots. And like a parrot he does not understand what he says only that he is copying what his master is saying about the Trump Virus.
So are pundits that have an agenda. Credentials are important... but not to this WH. They print or retweet anything without validation of accuracy. It’s not like they don’t have the resources.🥴
EXPERTS & CREDENTIALS MATTER! Reality Bites, Dude!
To include Fauci and Brix! Caged in our own homes, can’t work, can’t run our business Congress continues it’s TACTICS. When will they stop whining about their LOSS in 2016? Think about it, Americans pay these childish minds to run our country! FoxNews this is purely political!
But almost everyone says Navarro is an idiot
Kind of like Presidential Advisors’ opinions, right?
Don’t forget all of this when it’s time to vote!
And you've got some that say demon sperm causes heartburn.
I'd fire Navarro if he worked for me. Then again, I never would have hired him in the first place. He needs to stay in his lane, however ill defined that may be.
I wonder if he’s checked with Dr. Oz about this.
Factor: Experts.
The problem is that on Long Island alone we have seen firsthand the positive effects of using Hydroxy, ZPac and Zink. Of course there is spepticism but when your friends have recovered while using this treatment it’s hard to hear “experts” saying it doesn’t work.
Name one doctor who has said this drug is effective in treating Covid patients. Navarro is a dime a dozen. Like of idiots out there.
Opinions are like a**holes...just like Navarro
And then you’ve got everyone that says you’re nuts, Petey.
Remember, in every graduating class someone finishes LAST😳
You don’t listen to Drs . They’re human , have personal opinions just like the rest of us . You listen to the science . You ESPECIALLY DON’T listen to politicians who’s time in office is ending .
And more so are the politicans and their appointees. At least Doctors pledge allegiance to their hypocratic oath whereas politicians/appointees are just lying hypocrites
Navarro's opinions aren't even worth a dime a dozen. I'd say that they are worthless.
Idiot Fool is a criminal & a traitor. He should be in jail & never get out!
Doctors opinions are a dime a dozen... Trump Administration Platform 2020. The only government in the free world to devalue the importance of educated professionals and science. Making America Clueless Again
Ya and science said thalidomide was good for pregnant women
Follow the money! Trump & his gang of idiots are making money by spreading inaccurate information.
Why do you give PeterNavarro45 a forum? COVID-19 is not his expertise (if anything is) yet you let realDonaldTrump and his hack cronies blather on dispensing “information” that is harmful. Take their microphones away and the whole world will be better.
Isn’t that why they incorporate the word “practice “? Nothing is 100% and we all have opinions.
And nobody cares about your ridiculously one-sided articles
Isn’t that true?
He is precisely correct 👍👍
Forget this little Imp!
Let's vote in droves November, silencing these voices permanently. MakeAmericaWellNormalAgain
Omg these are the stupidest tricks. Just outright embarrassing
And Republican opinions on anything are absolute garbage so don’t ever listen to them.
👎🏻
By the way Navarro, YOU’RE NOT A DOCTOR SO SHUT UP!
Navarro is an ass. He'll be out of a job soon enough
DrinkBleachDept.
He’s an economist? Dr of economy?
It’s the same with most drugs, one day it’s great and a month or year later it pulled from the market. Very annoying and also dangerous.
As are advisors ...
Whatever makes doctors more money Is the better medication for covid!
Your view is from the inside, looking out of the Orange Imbecile's sphincter!
I haven't heard a single practitioner who has actively prescribed it say that HCHQ doesn't work.
Science by its very definition is not a matter of opinion.
Has anyone else noticed when using terms like “dime a dozen” or “nasty”, the term could easily be applied to them?
Why do you give this guy a platform. He lies and not worthy of interviews
Doctors... infinitely more useful to our society than dime a dozen politicians.
What doctors?
He thinks doctors are a dime a dozen. What about carnival barkers?
Navarro has a perfect track record of being wrong. He has no self awareness.
Narvarro should shut up because he has something to hide. He was one of the Cabinet members to tell Trump not only ABOUT The VIRUS but Estimate of lives that would be lost. This was January.Trump was angry with him and like the rat Peter is He scurried away. No Credibility at all
Only democratic doctors say that it works and of course cnn
Another nut!
His unprofessional views are unique and precious
Doctors are just like all of us. They have their own options. If you want you can find a doctor to agree with you.
especially if they chose to believe those who say it's not or even pay them for saying that - sure
What a plonker
And which will be performing your brain surge?
As opposed to the sheer rarity of an uninformed white guy spouting off?
OkDope Who you gonna believe?
The opinion from a guy with a vast medical background.
Fool.
I know
He’s an idiot. If there were some proven benefits for COVID-19 patients, we would know by now. Professional medical studies are what we care about; not some snake oil salesmen trying to make a buck at people’s expense.
Guess what else is a dime a dozen. Opinions of administration officials & politicians.
Why bother with this idiot?
To much misinformation COVID19
“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.” Mark Twain. Far more eloquent then I can manage.
By some doctors that say it doesn’t work, does he mean 5 double blind, randomized control trials?
Trump and his minions must have re-routed the water supply or he hands out crazy pills or something. These people are starting to look equally as deranged and they are speaking.
And Peter Navarro's cheap uncaring blustery talk is also a dime a dozen and painful to the ears.This guy must be swept away along with all the other good for nothing rats in 2020. Good Riddance.
Wouldn't you just love to know what Navarro's doctor is thinking right about now knowing his professional opinion is only worth about 8.3 cents?
Why even listen to a guy that spreads lies and manipulates like his boss.
Doctor Navarro has spoken! What a little ignorant person!
This is just my humble opinion. You don't go to a rapist asking how to seduce a woman. You don't go to Rand Paul or any other doctor that isn't an infectious disease expert to fight a virus that we nothing about.
How much stock does he have in it ? 🤔...
Exactly this some bs!
'The hills have eyes people balls deep in their sister'. Donald Trump

My view is PeterNavarro45's opinion isn't even worth a dime. He's just one of 60 million lying Republicans, trying to deceive people deliberately. My mother repeated constantly, 'There's nothing worse than a liar' when I was coming up, those words were never truer than today.
His view doesn’t matter.
This is why we're in so much trouble. Idiots like him with no background in medicine pushing misinformation
Utter nonsense. If it worked doctors and hospitals would be using it.
How do you write this article and not mention that Navarro owns millions of doses of this drug and can’t sell them if people don’t think it works?
Dime a dozen kind of like ass kissing useless Trump cabinet members!
I only trust the doctors that have the endorsement of the white house.
Doctors rarely agree on anything. That is why a second and third opinion is important before you decide which opinion to go with.
