If liberals with power had not insisted that everythig be tested forever like we are in no hurry....many lives could have been saved.
It's saved many lives in many studies and when all else has failed. The medical community is hurrying. This has nothing to do with liberals or power.
hardly....it has everything to do with the fact that Trump touted the drug and the liberals fear of him being given credit for doing something to help; end this crisis whilst they are trying to blame him for the crisis....p;ure p;olitics....politics at its worst....yet that is the game the liberals are playing.

Credit has nothing at all to do with it.
After all, Trump had nothing to do with hydroxychloroquine being tried or being successful.
The reality is that hydroxychloroquine is only useful on certain people, at certain stages.
And it would be a disaster to give people the false impression it can prevent infection or is good for everyone.

President Donald Trump has made clear that he thinks two old malaria drugs, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, should be deployed quickly against the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. But his own lieutenants, the heads of the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have been hesitant.
...
And a small and preliminary clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine in France circulated widely and stirred excitement on social media (including from the president) — though its findings were hardly definitive about whether the drug would benefit coronavirus patients.
...
On Friday, the president said, “It may work, it may not work. I feel good about it. That’s all it is. Just a feeling.” At the same press conference, Anthony Fauci, a physician who heads the NIAID and a veteran of outbreaks going back to HIV, emphasized the need for a methodical clinical trial.

The study Trump and others have touted was anything but randomized. Instead, Covid-19 patients were treated with either hydroxychloroquine or the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, an antibiotic also known as Zithromax, at a hospital in Marseille, France. They were compared to coronavirus patients at hospitals in Marseille, Nice, Avignon, and Briançon who didn’t receive these drugs.
The study doesn’t show that patients lived longer or were more likely to recover, but instead shows that the amount of virus in the blood was reduced much faster in the patients who took hydroxychloroquine and even faster in the six patients who took the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
That result is encouraging, but for patients who are not gravely ill, it doesn’t tell how to weigh the side effects of hydroxychloroquine against the potential benefits. That’s the reason for a clinical study like the one starting in New York.
