WASHINGTON — The White House continued on Thursday to promote the use of hydroxychloroquine, the antimalarial drug that President Trump and some of his supporters have held out as a treatment for the coronavirus, against the advice of the Food and Drug Administration and in the face of studies that have shown it can be harmful in some cases.
The divide between medical experts and the president’s lay advisers and media supporters seems all but certain to persist, even as COVID-19 is showing signs of slowing nationally . But he may have decided to take the drug as he begins to leave the White House and travel more frequently. A study published in the Lancet last month said hydroxychloroquine and a related drug, chloroquine, showed promise in the area of coronavirus prophylaxis.
Far from issuing a blanket endorsement of the drug, Saey writes that there is “not enough data to say whether the drug can protect people from catching COVID-19 or from getting very ill if they do get infected with the virus.” She notes that hydroxychloroquine has antiviral properties but could also cause “dangerous side effects,” particularly in people with heart conditions.
False
You folks are gonna end up killing some people if you keep this dangerous BS up
Hey PressSec Did the doctor who prescribed that drug to Trump lose his license because his treatment was not approved by the FDA? That’s what usually happens to doctors who work outside the lines.
Hydroxychloroquine = Quinine in Schweppes tonic water. Are they in danger of litigation?

1. It works. 2. Yahoo News is a joke
Every medicine is harmful in SOME cases your fear mongering twats
glad to see Yahoo News is the same crap that the others are; this bullshit tweet could have come from any of the other propaganda outlets. The actual studies on it show a 90+% success rate on early stages and it is widely used as a prophylactic. Liars.
