A fight broke out in the White House Situation Room on Saturday, after President Trump's economic adviser Peter Navarro clashed with Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, over an unproven COVID-19 coronavirus treatment, Axios reports.
Four people with knowledge of the matter told Axios' Jonathan Swan the argument took place near the end of a White House coronavirus task force meeting, after Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn brought up hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug Trump has touted as a possible"game-changer" in the fight against coronavirus.
One person familiar with the conversation told Swan the"first words out of his mouth are that the studies that he's seen, I believe they're mostly overseas, show 'clear therapeutic efficacy.' Those are the exact words out of his mouth." Fauci responded that this was anecdotal evidence, and this"just set Peter off," Swan reports.
Fauci and other public health officials have said more data is needed before anyone can say the drug is effective against COVID-19, but based on things he's read, Navarro is convinced it works, Swan reports. The task force ultimately decided that publicly, the White House needs to say that use of hydroxychloroquine is between doctors and patients. Read more at Axios.Health experts say official U.S.

An unknown source reportedly claimed they had been nearby some people talking about how maybe something was allegedly said by someone. Film at 11.
Tough to settle a Thumb War 6 feet apart.
Navarro said he knows how to read research lol. Idiot.
Lets see Navarros Medical Degree...
Navarro was just on Fox News. Did not disagree and updated this. So, this story is already outdated.
Because this asshole has nothing to add to the discussion.
Because I'm sure the 'trade advisor' is an expert on communicable diseases and viruses. You can't fight with an idiot and Peter Navarro fits that description 100%.
Get this stuff out there. What’s the worst that could happen? Clinical tests and trials take TIME; something we DONT have
Clickbait
Navarro / the Organ Grinder’s trained monkey. Runs screeching through the trees.
'...the argument took place...'
'a fight broke out' Axios is not a credible source.
Like fisticuffs?
