So.........you think like Trump does, that saying something makes it so. It doesn't. Anyone who believes as you do that Trump's and Fauci's opinions are equivalent is just too stupid for words.
President Donald Trump just can’t stop contradicting his own public health experts on the coronavirus outbreak.
The latest example, from Friday’s coronavirus press briefing, began when reporters asked about chloroquine — a drug typically used for malaria that Trump on Thursday hyped as a potential treatment for Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.
As it stands, there are no major clinical trials proving the effectiveness of choloroquine for Covid-19, but there’s some anecdotal and weaker evidence that possibly supports it.
Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, first cautioned that the evidence that chloroquine will work for Covid-19 is thin:
The evidence you are talking about is anecdotal evidence. … We’re trying to strike a balance between making something with a potential of an effect to the American people available. At the same time, we do it under the auspices of a protocol that would give us the information to determine if it’s truly safe and effective. But the information that you are referring to specifically is anecdotal — it was not done in a controlled clinical trial — so you really can’t make any definitive statement about it.
