Trump Clings To Unproven Treatments As U.S. Sinks Deeper Into Pandemic

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING President Donald Trump’s press conference quickly unraveled on Tuesday as he struggled to defend a video he’d retweeted that is full of false claims about the coronavirus and complained about his low approval rating. It doesn’t cause problems.” Trump was also forced to answer for a video he retweeted on Monday that showed a group of self-proclaimed medical experts claiming that social distancing and masks were not necessary to curb the spread of COVID-19 and alleging that officials were suppressing the use of hydroxychloroquine for political reasons. A reporter pointed out to Trump ― who’d just recently encouraged Americans to wear protective masks ― that one of the main doctors featured in the video is a full-blown conspiracy theorist: “She’s also made videos saying that doctors make medicine using DNA from aliens and that they’re trying to create a vaccine to make you immune from becoming religious.” The president all but shrugged his shoulders. “They were big fans of hydroxychloroquine, and I thought she was very impressive.. She said that she’s had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients.” In reality, studies have found that hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, is not effective for COVID-19 treatment or prevention.
