Here's the "preventative" trial use on 3000 health care workers/first responders in Detroit...
Dems are stretching their "keepers of science" credibility here by standing in the WAY of science for purely selfish POLITICAL reasons.. And it's not a good look for partisan yahoos that wrap themselves in science WHEN it supports their end game...

President Donald Trump's controversial disclosure on Monday that he is taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure against the coronavirus set off a controversy. The news instantly became a big subject on the 24-hour cable news shows, with some medical experts and political pundits questioning the president's judgment.
Hours later, on Monday night, Henry Ford Health System in Detroit issued a press release defending its major clinical study of the drug with hospital employees, first responders, including police and firefighters, and bus drivers. The ages range from 18-75.
"We are not involved in politics; we are scientists,” said Dr. William O’Neill, a world-renowned interventional cardiologist at Ford, who is heading up the clincal study. “There are no proven ways to keep people safe from COVID-19."
"This is a drug that has been used safely for more than 70 years to prevent malaria and treat other issues like lupus, with the potential to have active effect on COVID-19. We owe it to people – particularly front-line workers – to scientifically determine if it works.”
The Ford study tittled, “Will Hydroxychloroquine Impede or Prevent COVID-19,” involves 3,000-people.
The goal is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine prevents front-line workers from contracting the virus. Preliminary results are expected in about four months.
