President Trump again touted the promise of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine on Monday for use treating COVID-19, retweeting a story that appeared in the New York Post.
A great early result from a drug that will start tomorrow in New York and other places! #COVIDー19 https://t.co/4F4Qk4WFtKThe piece in the Post detailed the case of Rio Giardinieri, a 52-year-old Florida man stricken by COVID-19 who was admitted to the intensive care unit at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Fla.
By the following day, the paper said, his fever, pain and shortness of breath were gone. He expects to be discharged from the hospital by midweek, though the article did not include a statement from the hospital or the doctors who treated Giardinieri. “Many of the things that you hear out there are what I call anecdotal reports,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading expert on the president’s coronavirus task force, said during Saturday’s White House press briefing.
On Monday, an Arizona man died after ingesting chloroquine phosphate, “an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks” that is not the same as the antimalarial medication, Banner Health reported. His wife, who also ate what the couple in their 60s assumed to be protective of COVID-19, remains in critical care.
#FactsNotFear@WHO has NOT approved the use of chloroquine for #COVID19 management. Scientists are working hard to confirm the safety of several drugs for this disease. “In susceptible individuals, these drugs act as idiosyncratic neurotoxicants, potentially causing irreversible brain and brainstem dysfunction, even when used at relatively low doses,” Dr. Remington Nevin, a Johns Hopkins-trained psychiatric epidemiologist and the executive director of the Quinism Foundation, said in a statement.
