President Donald Trump announced on television that his new miracle drug, hydroxychloroquine, is saving people’s lives. “What do you have to lose?” Trump asked Sunday. It’s possible to lose several things.
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale explained that the Food and Drug Administration had not approved hydroxychloroquine for use on coronavirus. It has only been approved to treat various other issues like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and malaria.
Dr. Megan Ranney explained that as an emergency room doctor and research scientist herself, she wouldn’t use this drug to treat coronavirus unless it’s proven to be effective.
“This drug has major side effects,” she explained, “including paranoia, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, suppression of your blood counts, so you became more susceptible to infections, it can cause severe cardiac arrhythmias that can even cause death.

It's truly hard to believe that Trump is so arrogant, to think that he knows more than the real doctors, apparently, ruthless sociopath Trump is desperate and willing to do what ever it takes, at what ever cost in human lives to get re-elected.

Nearly every drug has side effects. That's why we have these things called "prescriptions", which are issued by doctors who review the patients susceptibility for those effects and assess the risks on a case-by-case basis, then monitor the patient.
Instead we have the Left cheer-leading for federal GovCo bureaucrats to take away that option. Talk about arrogance...

And guess what? Now there's a shortage. Patients who have Lupus who take it on a routine basis to keep the disease at bay are unable to get it due to clinics and patients taking it in order to maybe treat COVID.

So you're claiming that Plaquenil has been tested in double blind studies and proven to be an effective anti-COVID drug? I'm sure you'll be happy to share links to those studies, eh?
#COVID45 needs to shut his fat yap about anything to do with disease/medicine and stick to what he knows best -- golf.
