    I would certainly take a doctor's advice over Trump's everyday of the week when it comes to medical.

    Trump obviously agrees with you. He always relies on the advice of doctors.

    There have been many studies showing that HCQ is the best widely available treatment.

    "After a pilot study (Huang et al.Journal of Molecular Cell Biology, in press), having proved the safety and effectiveness of the drug to reduce the viral RNA to undetectable levels in 10 COVID-19 patients, the researchers began this current study, published on the preprint server medRxiv."
    NEWS MEDICAL LIFE SCIENCES, Study provides evidence for safety and efficacy of chloroquine in COVID-19, By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD, May 5 2020.
    https://www.news-medical.net/news/2...-and-efficacy-of-chloroquine-in-COVID-19.aspx

    Doctors have been hoarding the drug since the beginning of the pandemic. Think it through.
    Reject political science.

    India backs Hydroxychloroquine for virus Prevention (AFP)

    "India's top biomedical research body on Tuesday backed the use of the anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine as a preventive against coronavirus, after the WHO suspended clinical trials of the drug over safety concerns.

    The endorsement from the Indian Council of Medical Research came a week after US President Donald Trump said he was taking the drug as a preventative measure.

    Observational and case control studies in India showed there were "no major side effects" of taking the drug as a prophylactic, ICMR Director-General Balram Bhargava said."

    I thought Fauci’s comment was in regard to the 96K patients studied showing there was no efficacy for it’s use. In other words there is enough data now to make a determination.

    He still knows better than to trust the ravings of a side show salesman over scientific research

    What evidence do you have that it works?

    ~ Yes they are. Many of them also take it as prophylaxis - as do nurses .

    It is recommended by many doctors. Nobody is requiring you to take it.

    Yet another thing Fauci is wrong on, he's in the pocket of Big Pharma, who won't profit with the inexpensive Trump pill.

    Yale just did a study finding it very effective. It needs to be used routinely in outpatient clinics to prevent people from ending up on the hospital.

    I might. I can book an appointment and see a physician again now that the lockdown has been eased.
