Here is latest data on #Hydroxychloroquine. #AnthonyFauci is right, we have little data now to support its use. The idea that #PeterNavarro thinks otherwise, has ear of @realDonaldTrump should frighten you. It means science doesn& #39;t matter @WhiteHouse. 1/ https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2764199/use-hydroxychloroquine-chloroquine-during-covid-19-pandemic-what-every-clinician">https://annals.org/aim/fulla...
If you don& #39;t believe @AnnalsofIM, European regulators too are dubious about #Hydroxychloroquine & won& #39;t approve it. Why? Because again, the data simply isn& #39;t there. Difference? EMA isn& #39;t subject to political pressure from out-of-control @POTUS who doesn& #39;t believe in science. 2/

And @hiltzikm article @latimes is required reading on anyone who wants to know how this drug is getting hyped, by whom, the shady dealings going on and the real harm to patients with #lupus and other diseases who need this drug. 3/ https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-04-01/trump-chloroquine-coronavirus-bad-science-hiltzik-column">https://www.latimes.com/business/...
And for all the pundits, reporters who think the difference of opinion simply represents "fault lines" @WhiteHouse, another both-sides story, the shady science, policy-by-bullying has real impact on real lives. 4/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/31/opinions/hydroxychloroquine-covid-19-and-lupus-fear-martin/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/3...
All this speaks to a @WhiteHouse run by incompetents, ideologues, magical thinkers. It means the fight against #coronavirus, our fate, rests with these men who make shit up, tell lies, and couldn& #39;t organize their way out of a paper bag. end/
