President Trump recently said the FDA had 'approved' use of an anti-malaria drug to treat coronavirus patients — and that it would be available 'almost immediately.' But the FDA commissioner says 'a large, pragmatic clinical trial' would be needed first.

FDA drug approval

But FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn tried to tamp down Trump's enthusiasm, saying that"a large, pragmatic clinical trial" would be needed first to determine the drug's usefulness before making it available to coronavirus patients.Hahn said he couldn't"speculate about a timeline" for the drug's availability.

And again, a public health official — this time, Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top immunologist on the White House's response team — tried to rein in the optimism by echoing the need for clinical proof that it would make a difference. "Google is helping to develop a website," Trump said."It's going to be very quickly done — unlike websites of the past — to determine whether a test is warranted and to facilitate testing at a nearby convenient location."

realDonaldTrump is a man in over head. Man is clueless.

“Fallen Short” is a nice euphemism for lying.

Shocking

Some?

Some? All 5 of the examples has him lying. He lies all the time. Every one of these briefings he is lying.

Some? Are you becoming an apologist? Try all.

Short of the mark? Complete miss is a better description

And most have not!

Listing all the bullshit political people speak does not help the situation

NPR = enemy of the people. Shame on you

No website. No parking lot testing. No hospital ships docked in NY. There’s three

I blame Trump. It makes me feel better about this whole situation. He’s just bad and I don’t like him.

So have nadler, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, and Mueller.

So what !!

Just say he lied.

Why not call him out for lying, because that's what it is

Trump’s promises!! Lol 😂

The mark of a great businessman is the ability to anticipate markets and respond early aggressively and creatively.

Hospital Drs are being asked to use bandanas now. We're way beyond 'some'. FlipFlopsontheFrontline

Have you all ever posted one article about Trump that has a positive spin? Every single post I've seen from you all has been negative. I'm not a Trump fan boy but I'm sick of the constant barrage of biased media negativity. You are now unfollowed.

Why do we allow our leader to keep saying these things.

Not fallen short...fallen flat on his face

No surprise here

So he lied.. again... and people will die because of it..

We know. Please use your platform to support scientists and progress at least a larger fraction of the time. Post unknown scientists in the trenches of this battle and direct support to their work. That would be good for us. That would help.

Trump would do better if he kept his mouth shut and his thumbs idle.

Would be helpful if you followed jayrosen_nyu recs . Stop live reporting his lies. Fact-check 1st then report. There is too much misinformation out there. My nurse colleagues in Boston are deciding if using Maxi Pads for masks would work. WhereAreTheMasks WhereIsThePPE

'fallen short of their mark'?!? Ummm... soledadobrien what say you?

Just another failure!

Should the government funded “National Public Radio” be allowed to get away with such blatantly biased reporting and journalism? MediaRevolution

Some? Let’s be real here everything but the kitchen sink has been a lie. A few moments here and there are not to be considered genuine just because they feel presidential. MediaFail

Moving the government subsidy to fight covid19 from your coffers may be a good call, would you say?

As much as the failed hostage rescue mission doomed Pres Carter’s re-election, CV19 has certainly killed Trump’s. GOP better get a candidate “on deck” or they are dead-in-the-water. kairyssdal

Trump Your Fired

I love the patriotic NPR, especially in times of crisis.

NPR working really hard at trying to take on CNN and MSNBC as fake news outlet, spinning facts throwing out non supported speculation and the best part doesn't mention one thing good about the administration...I want my money back...

Some? Try ALL!

He also said he would never golf during his term, you cannot really believe anything he says.

Gaslighting is more accurate.

Yeah why dont you aholes go for another round of Impeachment! The MSM was so hellbent on Impeachment with no focus on this Virus until March. Great job NPR

Some? Fix your headline

Looks like spray tan is still available.

Coronavirus Since all the talent is drained out of all government sectors by Trumpian tantrums, firing, bullying, half the key posts unfulfilled, incompetent, dysfunctional White House feels overwhelmed, yet they can gather resources and rise above lies

Wait are you saying he lied again? I...I don't believe it. Mexico is still paying for the wall though? Right I need that wall between Colorado and New Mexico to protect my family from rapists and drug dealers!

NPR = Not helping

Don't be a useful idiot.

Fact checking? Hmmmm

Has NPR ever reported anything positive about President Trump? Glass half full glass half empty. Has anyone counted the number of negative stories NPR has done on conservatives? NPR receives my conservative tax dollars. I am sick and disgusted with NPR’s BS journalism.

NPR the CCP news network. Tick tock

SOME HAVE FALLEN SHORT? Name one that hasn’t fallen short or wasn’t a lie. realDonaldTrump supporters wanted a smaller federal government. It appears that they got their wish. We have no federal government at all. Let’s see how happy MAGAts are when the corpses start piling up.

... this is off the topic, but why is he only partially orange?

Some?! Hold realDonaldTrump accountable. Shame TrumpLiesPeopleDie

This is so laughable. Oh you are so worthless.

*ALL

Ole negative NPR. Hopefully the gov will remove gov funding from you.

Lol. “Some”.

Fallen short? Nearly all have been outrageous lies, false statements and gross exaggerations, interspersed with demands for sycophantic praise. Jesus, NPR.

NPR. Negative Propaganda Repeating.

Might be quicker to list the promises that haven't fallen short of the mark. I'll start. Ummm......

Some have fallen short? The list of things that he has promised and delivered on would be much shorter. IMPOTUS

So he lied?

NPR

Some?

I have gotten more --and better -- info from physicians on Tiktok than I've EVER gotten from task Force briefings. They are political propaganda. Please! Tell America how serious this is and that YOUNG people are on ventilators in ICU CriminalNegligence

it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing

'Mark'? Trump has no mark. He just does things and let the chips fall where they fall. He's a 'after the fact' type of president. This entire administration is reactive and not proactive like they should be.

more like all

so weak

Some?!!

Maybe some day will actually live up to journalistic integrity. How about fact checking the garbage that spews from BernieSanders biden SenWarren schiff pelosi

He lied. Again. Much shorter headline.

That’s a very diplomatic way of saying he eff’d up.

That phrasing is painfully polite.

Maybe you should investigate this:

I hate complainers. How about getting it done and not wasting your time on hate. Stop feeding the hate filled commie trolls and FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS!

No.he can not help can ask China for help

Perhaps if many thousands die and the economy is damaged for decades to come, Americans will finally understand that you cannot elect people into government that hate government and still expect it to function properly.

He is more interested in putting blame on the Chinese than blaming our medical supplies industry for hoarding supplies.

Some?!

The Chinese Corona virus an opportunity for the 3rd coup attempt in less then 4 years by the left and their media. They’re still trying...

AS CORONAVIRUS CASES INCREASE WITH SPEED TRUMP TESTS NEGATIVE FOR ABILITY TO LEAD

'Some'?

“You say it best, when you say nothing at all”

And trump failed 6 out of 5 claims, not bad for a one term failure! Doing great in his final year!

I think NPR (National Propaganda Radio) works for China. Ever since Trump was elected is been anti Trump messaging non stop.

Wow, it amazes me to see how many people are still blind when they read the TRUTH... Thank you NPR for the fact-checking.. We deserve not be lied too.

Lies from the pit!!

The fact is that Trump and Pence are liars, and Fauci is left to clean up their messes.

This is propaganda and probably false & misleading. Defund npr for this disgusting trash.

'All we are is smoke and mirrors'

You can’t even fact check correctly? -“A week or so” doesn’t mean 1 week. -The drug is already available by prescription, so physicians can prescribe it off-label NOW. -Google is working on a website. The timing will be faster than ‘some other sites.” -supplies were ordered 🤷🏽‍♂️

He is an idiot.

Anyone with a brain knows that as soon as NPR/WaPo/NY Times starts talking about 'fact checking' that they are preparing to lie to you. We know what your words are worth.

Breaking news, Trump lies every time he speaks

Ughh. VoteBlueNoMatterWho NYGovCuomo CuomoForPresident WashTheHate

Is it a liability thing that you can’t say he’s lying? Because it’s known that he is constantly lying. So, it’s a fact. Is it liable if it is a fact? JUST CALL HIM A LIAR & CALL OUT ALL OF HIS LIES. Stop sugar coating this outrageously dangerous administration.

Cant NPR be supportive in this time of crisis instead of stirring things up that have no value to anyone? Sad. What's the point of doing this? To keep the hate flowing?

Fact checking is it cost effective

Facts enrage the MAGA crowd.

Leftwing media fact checking always makes me laugh FakeNews

Basically for Trump - same old same old. Lies fooled by B.S.

Tests are useless if medical ppl don’t have PPE- which they don’t. LA said today no one is tested unless it’s needed to determine treatment cause they don’t have enough PPE for staff to do a lot of coronavirus testing. This doesn’t give an accurate count of infections

Sounds like a waste of time

NPR is not reliable objective source .

He’s a pathological liar. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️A man who uses a sharpie to extend the path of a hurricane and lies about cannot be trusted period. Assume everything he says is a lie and stop wasting time fact checking.

NPR is to radio what CNN is to television...liars.

You should fact check the public’s trust in “journalism”.

TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Lol

Brotherton_1013 He needs to figured out something I think

I don't even have to read it. If dt says it, it's a lie. If he writes it, it's a lie. If he has an *idea,* it's totally stupid. Life is simple but depressing during dt's rule.

Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies

Test shortage: 'Is it the same as it was a few weeks ago? Absolutely not.' No, because 'a few weeks ago', Trump said the CoronaVirus was a Democratic hoax.

So zero for five. Good to know. Not surprising. TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus StockDump

Q: How do you know when tRump is lying? A: His lips are moving!

The president seems to want to tell people that all the fault are made by China and that he is the real hero of the United States.

I actually think he's melting trumpsface

Whats wrong with his complexion other than coverup makeup. Has he just got acne or is it something more beastly like skin cancer. Its all lumpy . Is that just a reptilian look maybe.

WHY DIDNT YOU DO ANY OF THIS WHEN OBAMA WAS IN POWER, WHEN ALL THOSE PEOPLE WENT HOMELESS? TO BE HONEST, YOU GUYS ARE PUBLICLY FUNDED BUT ARE ONE SIDED, YOU DO NOT DESERVE PUBLIC FUNDS... I HOPE POTUS DEFUNDS NATION PUNANI RADIO...

You could’ve saved a lot of time by completely ignoring and not re-distributing the garbage that he’s been spreading, and instead of spending that time on people who have useful information.

No more.

L.I.E.S

Thanks npr for keeping it real. Call it every time you can. Lives depend on it.

Our IdiotInChief , so proud...

Wait a sec, he lied? This has GOT to be a first. Or a fifth? Somebody please explain.

Trumpkins don’t care. They’ll call it fake news.

NPR should be defunded. NPR gets TAXPAYER money for ALL TAXPAYERS OF ALL STRIPES but openly favors the Democrat party. THAT IS JUST WRONG! DefundNPR

StopTheBriefingsStopTheLies StopTheBriefingsStopTheLies StopTheBriefingsStopTheLies StopTheBriefingsStopTheLies StopTheBriefingsStopTheLies StopTheBriefingsStopTheLies

TrumpLiesPeopleDie

why are we still listening to him?

Who'd of thunk a reality TV star would've made a bad president? ... Only the majority of voters 🤦

false hope. false king .

'Approved' and 'close to approved' are not remotely equivalent. They don't exist in the same realm. To mention both statuses as nearly the same renders his sentence nonsensical. I guess it can join the club of all his nonsensical sentences.

Only one thing is important to remember about Trump........HE LIES ALL THE TIME......HE NEVER STOPS LIEING........THEN HE WILL LIE SOME MORE............

Now fact check the Chinese re their repeated claims that the virus didn't transmit person to person

Please report CDC and not this uneducated tool

I have a feeling this tweet won’t age well

The US will only make progress on the virus & economic front once someone silenced trump and the real leaders are allowed to do their jobs; trump is going to bring down the US economy

have to say something when you dont have any option to relieve peoples pressure. Dr Fauci did a much better job than trump. PS. Without facial mask supply, corona wont stop being spread no matter how many drugs approved

He’s just an all out liar. Why can this continue? Why do we let continue?

Trump should have added to 'been approved or very close to approved may be approved not approved approved on the twelfth of never....'

So he lied.. again... say it with me. He lied and is dangerous because he can’t even tell the truth when lives depend on it.

He also said there aren’t any bare shelves at Walmart.

Best practice is to not believe anything he says.

Fake news NPR rather see Americans die then to see a vaccine approved. Vaccine not good for ratings.

THIS MUST BE SHARED COVID19

shutstain22 questions

Say it, NPR: HE LIED

Wow NPR. You forget that he has some power over being able to move things along. Nice to see you are still playing politics while the President is dealing with the issues head on.

If companies can be forced to retract and correct false advertising can trump be gagged and well , just banned from human communication

Don't worry. A lot of people say this will be gone by April ... with the heat.

anotherspaniel does anyone believe a word he utters?

Trump lies, people die. Trump lies, stock market dives. Trump lies, necessary equipment delayed. Trump lies, people die.

Still believe anything he says? You are a fool!

Trump’s people live in a world where ‘very close to being approved’ is a state of being.

Why does anyone believe anything that a compulsive liar ever says? We should require immediate receipts for every word that comes out his rectum-shaped mouth! Gotta ignore the ignorant & stop expecting any intelligence 😡

STOP AIRING LIVE PRESS CONFERENCES. It spreads disinformation endangering lives. Fact check and then air only the facts!

Liars gotta lie.

Did he mean approved for trial?

Lies & bluster & exaggerations ... that’s all we can expect from Trump anymore

Everything trump touches appears to be damaged or tainted: it’s frightening he’s knows very little about anything: Why doesn’t he resign for the good of America and go back to his casino business He ruined the US farmers industry now it’s every american industry.

Which is it?

I have stopped watching the daily broadcast of ‘The Trump Show’ otherwise known as the increasing wild White House COVID19US press conferences. This jerk is incompetent and lacks the interest or capability to be any kind of statesman, much less one with integrity.

Darn, I missed his latest press conference/Lie fest. Let me know when he starts foaming at the mouth. That's 'Must See' TV! ...of course it will also signal just how f*cked we are with this clown in charge.

realDonaldTrump Stop lying before you kill us all!!

NPR. Enemy of the people.

Have you considered the fact that there is a pandemic going on and some timelines might be expedited and some steps normally taken skipped?

Probably not a good idea to just start taking random meds.

You wonder what can this President really do well ? What’s he good at ? He’s good at deception and exaggeration. He’s good at confusion and lying. He’s good at attacking anyone who disagrees with him.

Very close to...is idle BS

Have you fact checked any of Joe Biden's false statements that he made during the last democratic debate? Might be a bigger help, since we already know everything the president says is suspect.

He’s lying. Like he always lies. ALWAYS. About every little detail about every little thing.

My uncle tested positive every time

FDA red tape is one of the reasons we are in this predicament in the first place.

.realDonaldTrump must step down or at the very least back away from the Pandemic press conferences. He is only making things worth with his lies and self congratulating as people die by the hundreds ( next week thousands )

He never said that.....He said 'we are trying it and I'm very hopeful it will work' Stop lying and twisting words for your own objective. If you aren't careful you are gonna lose funding from people like me. Tell both sides. One sided journalism isn't gonna work anymore.

Time to demand congress and senate call him out on his lies , tweet their pages

More silly hat fiction

Can't trust him for anything.

Why can't Trump just STAY AT HOME?

FAKE NEWS MEDIA is the virus!!!

FAKE NEWS MEDIA is the virus!!!

So, Trump lied. Again. His followers don't care. Again.

Why did I listen to the briefing today by realDonaldTrump and his yes-boy VP mike pence? It made me angry & sick. They are liars, masters at sugar coating their own bulls***. VoteTrumpOut2020

Yeah, but you guys go by truth. Trump’s single guideline is, “How does this work to my advantage right now?”

Months away could easily compared to “very close.” Most vaccines take 18months-24months. Stop attacking the president! MediaRevolution

PLEASE!! Someone Lock Him In His Room!!!

You guys act like we can’t change the FDA regulations when we’re fighting a global pendemic...

he lies again

For those ANGRY (ALL CAPS ANGRY), we are 1 month LATE on diagnostic kits because CDC “followed the process” of testing and getting FDA approval of own kit. Ideal, but slow. If you are made at Trump for pushing this drug until fully tested, know this is why kits are LATE!

There are regulations to allow compassionate use. For people who have a high rate of death, this is justification to allow them to use it. Ideally, yes, several large, well controlled clinical a...these are not ideal situations.

Meanwhile France and Italy say it works great

So to be clear, Trump lied. As usual.

What the FDA commish should have said is “no, it has not been approved, the president is”: 1 wrong 2 mistaken 3 lying to you. Pick one.

Him winning is more important than your life is what this means

Trump is his own worst enemy; and America's embarrassment. YangWasRight stoplisteningtotrump

yashar World Docs: Antimalarial drug seems to be helping. Been around forever & is cheap. If the patient meets the criteria, we give it to them. FDA: Need more data Pharma: We need to hurry to make a vaccine but we’re not sure we can meet certain safety measures. FDA: Go ahead.

TRUMP, his admin bunglers, and more generally GOP congressmen will forever be labeled as the health and financial failures that allowed the 2020 virus and financial debacle to ruin the country! The GOP better rebuild itself very quickly or it goes the way of the buggy whip!

We don't just need fact checks. We need a hyperbole meter. The press conferences should be held from behind a huge curtain!

And they have actually tried it already in Washington state. It was an option at their own risk and it helped.

So he lied. Again. Just say he lied.

JuliaDavisNews Anything to avoid prison!

Doctors are prescribing it anyway. Pharmacies are already running out.

When will NPR do a story about how Adam Schiff’s partisan impeachment witch-hunt distracted the nation from the brewing tsunami that was COVID-19 brewing in China When will NPR do a real story like that?

45 is President until 46. Vote in Nov for 46!

haha

Syustemic Lupus patients, many of whose lives depend on Chloroxyquinone now cannot get their prescriptions filled because Trump keeps saying this.

Gosh, in other words, you mean he's full of shit?

Maybe he should take it first. Just to test it.

You can get it already. Its peetty much the same drug as over the counter restless leg medication.

realDonaldTrump why do you keep lying to us? TrumpCrash TrumpVirusCoverup COVIDー19

It is an approved drug. Fact. It’s currently available. Fact. The brand new virus is not indicated for the drug currently but that is not possible for the FDA to have done without a time machine or clairvoyant staff. This is a disingenuous headline at best. Your bias is clear.

TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks

This is NO TIME for friggin' misinformation POTUS!!!! 😷

And how many fucking years will that take? And who gets rich from it?

The pattern has been established for three years. 45 uses a shovel full of lies daily to feed his pathology and the followers.

No need to sugarcoat Trump’s lies. We are Americans & can take the truth. There is a time for everything (Bible-Ecclesiastics) When it was time to defend our democracy from RussianInterference realDonaldTrump failed. When it was time to protect us from Covid_19 Trump failed.

The way he has handled this crisis shows what a disaster he is - he does only things that make him look good so he puts out news that is not verified- he spreads fake news - don’t listen to him - listen to Fauci when he is not next to Trump or Cuomo

So lie 8999? Shocking 😡

Actually, he said that the drug was previously approved for malaria and was being fast-tracked as much as possible as a potential med for covid

Trump isn’t a POTUS so much as just a POS.

He’s lied about every step of this pandemic. He’s still out to make himself look good and doesn’t give a crap about managing a national crisis. WorstPresidentEver TrumpVirusCoverup

Dont bog shit down in trials..give it to 50 people.

trumpliedpeopledied

yashar Oh no

Americans can not trust the Liar-n-Charge. VP POTUS realDonaldTrump

JuliaDavisNews major action of chloroquine is to inhibit the formation of hemozoin (Hz) from the heme released by the digestion of hemoglobin (Hb). The free heme then lyses membranes and leads to parasite death. This is malaria action. Trump virus 19 does not have such membrane to burn.

OK so the drug is on the market for other uses already. Any doc can prescribe off-label and we do all the time. Expect this to be the toilet paper of coming weeks, making it unavailable to people on it for years yournextstoryidea

JuliaDavisNews I have systemic Lupus & Sjögren’s Syndrome. My life DEPENDS on Plaquenil! Right after Trump’s lies & false assurances yesterday, sites sprung up everywhere selling Plaquenil illegally, which will take away MY MEDICINE and may cause MYDEATH! CDC & FDA haven’t even don’t even 1.

As usual he’s in over his head, has no idea how science works, and doesn’t really care as long as he gets a sound bite that he thinks makes him look good. 😡

It's all lies. He lies and blames the outcome on whomever discredits him. He feeds off of praise, attention and adulation. Even when he's the only one paying compliments to himself and the beautiful, wonderful things he's doing in spite of us.

JuliaDavisNews Trump doesn’t tell fibs, he tells lies that are dangerous…

President is doing great job and what ever in his power and what is available now. We are greatful that we have President Doland Trump leading in this crisis. We love you President Trump and looking forward to have leadership in comimng years.

Meanwhile in real news..

yashar

JuliaDavisNews In other words... *3 made shit up

yashar Can be used off label.

Trump can only think in terms of sound bites and his sycophantic press and followers sift through the trash to find little nuggets that can use to launch ad hoc and red herring attacks against anybody with even a modicum of common sense,or ability to string together a narrative.

I’m beginning to think that Trump has teamed up with the corona virus against us all. This guy is incapable of telling the truth at this point.

Fact check? If we had a mask for every lie, we could save millions of lives!

So in other words.. an approved drug available now is tried on corona virus and has some success..

Please stop referring to him as 'President Trump'. 'Trump the Conman' will do nicely. Thank you. TrumpVirus

Thank you President Trump for cutting red tape so Americans can try this drug.

Can there be real-time fact-checking? It seems important.

I can't imagine anyone takes this guy seriously. Do they?

We should totally let him continue to provide the updates. No risk to public health from his constant need to make shit up out of thin air. Nope.

yashar Trump is basing today's statement about these drugs on a short article at IJAA from a couple of doctors in France who tried it out for a 2 week period. This is not a clinical trial or even a study. This is a desperate attempt at throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks.

People are dying and the FDA thinks we need a large trial. Give it to people who want it under right to try. Then if it works for them we will know. People already take it for RA and malaria.

Maybe his OrangeManBad skin tone is keeping the virus away. Let's try this for a remedy!

That larger clinical trial may get organized here. They are currently recruiting healthcare workers willing to take hydroxychloroquine to see how they fare in a clinical trial.

RememberInNovember the self-serving incompetence

yashar FDA is holding up a life saving treatment. Bureaucrats being killers.

It’s like he comes on every day to tell us he’s doing a great job and then lies to back up the claim. Honestly, we’d have been better off if he would’ve stayed on the golf course every day and spent 5 mins a day signing bills and decrees that they put in front of him.

rochelleriley So misinformed. Listening to Fox instead of Fauci.

MY ELDERLY PARENTS YELL AT ME THAT THIS IS ALL OVERBLOWN BC tRUMP HAS ANNOUNCED PROMISING FDA APPROVED CURES. HES DOING IT AGAIN THIS AM. HE KNOWS *EXACTLY* WHAT HE IS DOING. HE KNOWS HIS CULT BELIEVES IT. WE NEED DOCTORS TO LOUDLY ANNOUNCE THAT HE IS LYING! 😭

Why, another 'personal feeling'?

yashar Thread:

I could not get over and still can’t, how bad that “briefing” was yesterday. He was completely out of it, ill tempered and repeating himself as he read. And, I think that’s the last we see of Dr. Fauci for a bit.

Got the cart before the horse there, AGAIN, realDonaldTrump. 🖕

yashar Doctors can use it off label you hacks

yashar Headline should read, TRUMP lied. TRUMP gives hazardously misleading information.

yashar Rushing a vaccine that could otherwise kill people to own the libs...

Call it a Lie Check. Way more lies than facts.

Don’t worry, he alone can fix it
