Trump suggests hydroxychloroquine may protect against Covid-19. Researchers say there's no evidence of that

President Donald Trump has twice tested negative for the coronavirus, but during a briefing at the White House on Saturday, he said he"may take" the drug hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19. He suggested it has protective effects against the novel coronavirus, although researchers say there's no evidence of that.

Trump doubles down on unproven drugs to treat and prevent coronavirus"I think people should [take hydroxychloroquine]," he told reporters at a White House press briefing on Saturday."If it were me, in fact, I might do it anyway. I may take it ... I have to ask my doctors about that. But I may take it.

Both Kim and Sparks are members of the alliance and hope physicians will add their patients to this registry to help understand how rheumatologic conditions such as lupus -- which require drugs that may dampen immune systems and autoimmune diseases -- are affected by Covid-19. If anything, because lupus patients are on immunosuppressive drugs, they might be at increased risk of Covid-19 infection compared to the general population, Sparks said.

The regrets Americans must have for electing him.

what an idiot : wasteful and reckless but then again we expect that with him.

Why aren't CNN broadcasters and reporters using their masks. It should be their social responsibly to show good examples

Yeah, and CNN is never wrong? Why do I know CNN as 'fake news' then? TRUMP2020LandsideReElectionVictory

Dude is selling hard on that drug. He now recommended his stupid bases to take the drug despite tested negative. That’s pure criminal! Lock him up!

A miracle remedy from a liarpresident = snakeoil

I think he would probably enjoy inhaling the Nitrogen Oxide instead.

No evidence ?! Says who dr fauci A.k.a doctor doom and his side kick bull demon Gates ?.. Why don’t you let the professionals handle this you clowns!. Keep digging your own demise!. 👹👹👹🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

CNN, = COMMUNIST,NEWS, NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of you anti-Trumpers on this thread are flat out bonkers. Why don’t you start a write-in movement for AOC. You seem to be in the same mental stratosphere - space cadets

Now he is a doctor ! Great

Go ahead and let him take it. Side effects that can be caused is cardiac arrhythmias, paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations. Hey wait, maybe he already takes it.

Well that's the best news I've heard in a while. Thanks! I wonder how it will interact with all the speed he snorts.

Why is Spain using it and having good results! Italy has finally turned the corner since they have started using it!

Wait,people can't get tested and he's been tested twice? Let him take the pills. That's all I'm going to say.

Once a snake oil salesman, always a snake oil salesman.

🧐

Why?.......does he have it or OWN stock in the company ?

Just let him take it, at this point, you know the virus took a look at him and noped on out of there.

Wow. Amazing how the whole Trump family works for the government. We pay for his hotels and he keeps promoting businesses for gain. Such an abuse of power.

Hydroxychloroquine is for malaria, lupus and arthritis treatment.

Stupid

Doubling the dosage equals double the protection!

Why do he get to get additional testing if he’s having no symptoms.. there is ppl who actually need these test and can’t have them

I wonder how hydroxychloroquine mixes with Trumps drug habit?

RIDICULOUS STATEMENT

how much stock in this co. does he own? ask the REAL question

He totally should, like he said, what does he have to lose? 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is a dangerous proclamation by Trump and dangerous of cnn to publicize it.

He needs to check with his pharmacist about drug interactions. Apparently, he's on a lot of them.

If you can take malaria drug for a new virus, you could take viagra for hypertension.

Please note: The new test which was Trump's second test has a very high (30%) false negative rate... Also, Trump has to be careful about hydroxychloroquine in combination with his other meds...

Ask him to take the required dose just to show how safe it is

Evidence shmevidance... this is Trump

Our PM was asked about this in today’s presser, he said something to the effect of “politicians should not be making statements about medical issues and it is best left to the health experts”

MarineauMary Can anyone say who cares

It’s a great idea! Do it realDonaldTrump! Be a man of your word.

Yeah tell the ppl that just complaining nonstop is helping to cure the WuhanVirus so be like low ratings

Please, yes. Take it in the max dose.

He’d be better off if he upped his daily dose of Adderall.

I don't believe that

WHO CARES

You cannot ‘boost’ your immune system against a virus that you have never been exposed to.

Is a true statement , this traitor will tell you the truth

I think every member of Congress should be given the vaccine for testing

Let me guess - you will soon be pushing Gates’ vaccine? EnemyOfThePeople

Why are they wasting test on him when it should be used on someone out there who has symptoms.

It’s an immunosuppressant. If he takes it and doesn’t have it that could cause a whole lot of problems—- Ahhhh what the hell... tell him to go ahead!

He needs to stop with this 'may take it' nonsense and just TAKE IT already. By the handful. Then maybe the patients who ACTUALLY need it can have it.

I gotta ask. Why does trump call y'all fake news channel? realDonaldTrump FakeNews CNNFakeNews

Take it. Lots of it

If I get it I’m not taking a single dose of whatever they mix together he’s on a killing spree.

Just stfu already.

It would be best if Trump, a TV reality talk show host, would stop giving medical advice that contradict the director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases since 1984. So far Trump has killed 2 people in Washington State and possibly more who followed his advice.

I hope Trump does take it. In fact, double the dose, just in case.

The media has become obsolete.

Someone in his administration is either telling the president the drug works, or he’s actively taking it because he has Covid-19.

Some days it’s so hard not to wish this person harm. I still won’t do it but I’m just sayin.

Trump's purge

100% he has invested in the company that produces it.

Tell that to the many doctors who are taking it as a prophylactic, or the many countries using it, or the patients it’s help already. These same people would be touring arsenic as a cure if Obama said it 🙄

I’ll assume there was concern about his exposure, which is why he was tested 2x, using up 2 kits, when millions haven’t even been tested 1x. And what MD would prescribe a drug, a toxin, that was developed for something else, and has no valid, proven efficacy for C-19?

So what. Isn't that a decision between a person and their doctor? Just make sure that no CNN employees are prescribed Hydroxychloroquine for COVID19. Agreed?

He should take the kind that they sell in pet stores, double dosage

Can he do it on live TV and have dr Fauci administer it.

Please let him take it die from side effects and then the us can start again with someone actually even slightly competent

What did Chris Cuomo take to recover so quickly? You won't answer that, will you?

Let him take it. Seizures, vision impairment, and heart issues have been linked to it.

What politicians own stock in company?

I think there is not any study regarding it's effectiveness to treat covid -19 in humans

He should add: Those refusing to take the 💊 can do so at their own life.

The question that Trump doesn’t ask is why don’t I shut my mouth because I don’t know jack shit

Fake news!

He says he has taken the test. We don’t know that’s true!

Let him take it

And he also said he’d release his tax returns!

'may take' you people need to grow a brain..

A lay person who believes himself to have as much knowledge as an actual medical doctor and has the unmitigated gall to prescribe his own medications has a fool for a patient!

That’s not true Trumphas tested negative as he is the best of the nest and has never failed at anything let alone a simple COVID19 test !

Trump needs to be more careful with his words, there are too many stupid Democrats out there who are willing to drink fish tank cleaner

There a real negative side effects that many are not talking about though.

Navarro just said on air that Dr’s and Healthcare workers on the frontline are taking it prophylacticly, WTF?

What the F Is going on right now?

Leave Trump alone

And if he didn’t like it CNN would be extolling it’s virtues.

How many people does Donald Trump have to kill before we kick him out of office?

If he tested negative why on earth would you start treatment? That's false information he gave about Plaquenil smh!! The drug hasn't even been approved to treat Covid 19, let alone prevention 😡😡😡 Stop Lying!!!

So realDonaldTrump gets to be tested TWICE when the majority of Americans aren’t even able to get tested ONCE?! Talk about an insult to every single one of us...

So let me asked they are giving this drug to patients in the hospitals now? How many of them are still dying? And how do you know this medication is not killing them and not the virus?

Unfortunately this is a Donald Trump business venture. This will benefit Trump, but there's no real evidence the drug will help anyone who is I'll.

The should take the fish pond version.

And your point is exactly? He is correct as usual

There’s no evidence of your providing actual news, yet somehow you continue to exist...

stupid

10 to 25 years to know the declassified truth 😂😂

This person we call a President is going to kill ppl !! Like 5th ave kind of killing!!! And this person will get away with it !!!

He has no fucking balls...

I beg to differ. There have been countless test that proves it works against COVID 19. It is almost as if the left does not want to see if it works so that this issue can be prolonged.

One of greatest cons in the history of the world. A con who managed to make it to the Whitehouse.

Go ahead let him take it!! Maybe the virus will actually goes away! 🙂

👍👍👍

'researchers say there's no evidence' They say the same thing about journalistic integrity at , so...

I’ve said so repeatedly as well, and gotten blocked by Falwell for my efforts. Please be accurate in your reporting. The vast majority of pastors are urging folks to WorshipAtHome and StayHome.
