President Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine, even though several recent studies show the drug is ineffective against the coronavirus and may even be harmful
Speaking at a meeting of restaurant executives, Trump said he began taking the antimalarial drug after consulting the White House doctor, though stopped short of saying his physician had actually recommended the drug."A couple of weeks ago, I started taking it," Trump said. He later said he'd been taking it every day for a week and a half.
"I asked him what do you think, he said, 'Well if you'd like it,'"the President told reporters.While Trump admitted he doesn't know if the drug works, he claimed"if it doesn't, you're not going to get sick and die." The FDA has warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat the novel coronavirus and said they should only be used in hospitals or clinical trials because they can kill or cause serious side effects.
