just did something jawdropping ... he shut down the leading infectious disease specialist in the United States of America -- stopped him from exposing a dangerous lie the President had just told.
Trump held a coronavirus briefing late Sunday and made a long pitch for people to use the drug hydroxychloroquine to battle the disease. He looked in the camera and said,"What have you got to lose?" There's actually an answer -- side effects include mild problems like nausea, but doctors say there's also a risk of stroke and major heart issues.
Fact is ... the drug is unproven. There have been very limited tests and results are a light-year from conclusive, and as you see, the side effects are significant.about the drug. He's spoken about it before, and there's no way he was on Team Trump, and the President knew it. You gotta watch the video.
Trump ended the briefing by insulting 2 reporters he didn't like, cutting off legit questions ... but watch and judge for yourself.
Thank you!
OMG....stfu
The current president is a show of how powerless the people really are.
TMZ should hope to their god that no one in their family that is older gets this! Because that person will be BEGGING for that 'unproven' Covid19 drug to be used on them!!! It clearly helps a certain pct. of people so why not use it? Except for that Trump suggested it. Deranged.
I feel so bad for Dr. Fauci, I know it has to be so aggravating trying to reason with an idiot 🤦🏿♀️
How rude. He has no respect for anyone
I can prove it...it works wonders!!!
How many time does one need to answer the same question?
It has been tested on other countries and is working. Before you tell part of the story do a little research. Start with the French Virologist who suggested it back in JANUARY.
POTUS is saving lives not waiting or allowing a vaccine kill anyone! DrainTheSwamp MillionsOfUs 2020Election iAmMckinneyStrong cointelpro deepstate FakeNews CorporateMedia Junkies
So if the drug causes massive strokes and heart attacks? The his is the safest way out? A drowning man will grab a straw if he thinks it will save his life. Hard pass...
I am so glad in Canada our leaders are more intelligent than Trump and listen to experts and don't think they are one. 'Proud to be Canadian' .. I don't think the Americans can say that right now.
Check the reports from people who have taken it and it saved their lives! Can’t wait to see what you say when it’s proven to help cure people! TRUMP 2020!
Unproven do your research lots of doctors are using ig with success
Proven or not. Let he who has the virus decide if he wants or doesn’t want to take the meds.
Fauci and Bill Gates are pushing for a mandatory vaccine. Beware of the vaccine!!
clarencehilljr Dr Fauci is not a God! This guy has been in gov since Reagan.
No. The question was asked by this reporter like 4 times in a different ways. He had an agenda. We saw it. Apparently your reporter has an agenda themselves. Go report on Kardashian’s and who they are friending or unfollowing. The big stories.
TMZ better check themselves here.
Peddling it, really? Do you pay attention to those who have recovered because they took it or to the doctors who say it's working?
I don’t want to see nor hear him 👨 every day. His vocabulary is that of a 6th grader (no offense kids in 6th grade) & his opinions are straight up 💩can’t wait for his turn to experience the virus first hand🖐✌️😷
He and the Kushners probably own tons of stock.
It works and FDA approved its use
if there has been someone who has told trump to promote this drug they should come forward and present their evidence to the public and stand up there with him
Huh I watched the whole press conference and that’s not what I took away from it at all.
If its unproven why are thousands of COVID-19 patients being treated with it in NY hospitals?
Rump to stock broker: Buy as much stock in the unproven coronavirus drugs you can! Rump to nation nation: What do you have to lose?!
Fuck sake this guys outta control
He's trying to save lives. If you are waiting for a vaccine you will die like chicken...use whatever is available. It will not hurt anyone compared to the vaccine which is not even available yet. Why Africa is still experiencing low death rate...it is partly because of that.
DonaldTrump
Peddles
93% success rate! Harvey and TMZ staff if you get Covid, make sure to tell your Dr. You don't want this drug!
Come on I am just going to say what we are all thinking he just needs to get the damn virus!
Oh yeah, Fauci, the guy with the crystal ball, who said over 200,000 people are going to die in the U.S. I don't know if a muzzle is enough.
One word.. Bullying.. the expression on Dr. Fauci face was total humiliation embarrassment and just plain scared. The reporters ask questions that he obviously doesn’t understand then all hell breaks loose with his rambling. I feel for the American people 😔🇦🇺
He's got COVID19.
clarencehilljr Fauci is a snake.. he pulled these same stunts with HIV...
clarencehilljr Here are a list of unproven drugs used off label every day. Get educated on how drugs are used by doctors every day. The drug is safe and used for 70 yrs. Stick to sports Clarence List of drugs known for off-label use - Wikipedia
“side effects include mild problems like nausea, but doctors say there's also a risk of stroke and major heart issues”
Reality check doctors are actually prescribing this drug all over the world.
It’s being used to good effect all over the world.
This is a bit behind - just stirring the pot. The drug combo has been used with promising results here & abroad. One example, David Bryan of BonJovi said he was given the combo... States are reversing the 'don't use it'... People hate Trump so much, they assumed...
Fauci just wants everyone to take Bill’s vaccine.
Dr. Fauci deserves more respect. Protect him be any means.
The President was exactly right. He is doing a great job responding to this virus and dealing with the media! He is really trying to save lives. Makes me feel patriotic, similar to how George W Bush made me feel in his press conference after 911!
Media and liberals don’t want a cure or helpful meds. They want Gates globalist agenda to vaccinate everyone. The vaccine has a computer chip in it that attaches to your DNA & u can be tracked at all times. Your body can even be shut down by the click of a button
This is FakeNewsAlert FactsMatter
Give me a break. Speak the truth and not Fake News 🙄
Fake News!
stick to entertainment. Hopefully we’ll get some real reporters delivering the news one day
Why doesn’t Trump just shut the msm up all the time like that? I wish he did. MSM can’t stand anything that doesn’t sound like it’s the end of the world ! Ugh !
sorry - I love you but this is fakenews
MAGA-Mister Asshole Gone Apeshit
We alll fucked
Unproven You have literally NO idea what you are talking about
At the end of the day who cares? Bottom line the CHINESE are responsible for destroying the world as we know it.
When the reporter tried to ask the top infectious disease doctor in the nation if he thinks this drug is ready for use immediately and what are his thoughts Trump didnt let him talk, why? Was he afraid the doctor was gonna say something negative towards its immediate use?
tmz is FakeNews
What’s wrong with saving lives?
clarencehilljr It has worked for others, that is a fact. Will it work for everyone, no. Once again more negative crap out there with people trying to make this political.
Ummm this isn’t true
I can't stand Trump, but c'mon, this political-medicine-bias is obvious. Either it works, or it doesn't work. Doctors will tell us shortly. But know that even the most TDS raging celebrity in Hollywood will be asking for it the minute they get sick.
Do your homework on this. Click bait reporting
No one muzzles Dr.Fauci
This is such a misleading title and bears absolutely no resemblance to the actual reality of what happened. This title, you should be ashamed of. And I like TMZ, but this is inexcusable.
Hmm, believe the IMPOTUS or Medical Experts.....where's the confusion?
This is a LIE!!! How did you even come up with this one!!!
Who said the drug was ‘unproven’?
Why do you continue with the trump bashing ? Clearly you don’t like him so share what productive comes out of the bashing ?
Then why has Cuomo allowed 4000 patients in New York on the treatment.
Trump Derangement is real over at
Hardly matters what Trump says. People need doctors + pharmacies and probably insurance approval in order to get it.
raywatts03 Yep, game over man, game over!
It’s already been approved by the CDC for other useage. But now when people laying in ICU you’d rather them die?!
How unproven is it, maybe you should get out of New York and la and see what the rest of the planet is saying
Fauci has answered this question several times in past pressers.
🤨 Lets leave Trump outta these briefings once its time for questions and leave that part straight to the Doctor.
Oh look a clown and a doctor
A drug with side effects. Oh no.
should stay in their lane.
His waddling off was the best part
Pull the d1cks out of your ears liberals. I can't wait until you're muzzled. SILENCELIBERAL
I threw out garbage today with more credibility than this headline. 🤦🏿♂️
Fake news. Stay in your lane TMZ!
Please, just let the MAGA crowd take the drug. Let them be the Guinea pigs for dear leader.
Oh stop....
What a child.
🙄
Really, cmon
We are doomed😳
Trump at this point please stfu because I rather here it from doctors who actually went to medical schools to be at the positions they are at now than what u have to say u could have protected the people in our country better than this is the beginning
Dudes loaded with Adderall. That’s what I’m seeing and hearing.
Dr. Fauci is so cute!
Hydroxychloroquine rated ‘most effective’ coronavirus treatment, poll of doctors finds
The drug has been in use for 40+ years for Malaria and Lupus. Stop peddling BS.
