The United States of America have approved the use of Anti-Malaria Drug, Chloroquine as treatment against CoronaVirus, President Trump said on Thursday.

The president told reporters ;


“We’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately, and that’s where the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has been so great,”

“They’ve gone through the approval process — it’s been approved. They took it down from many, many months to immediate. So we’re going to be able to make that drug available by prescription.”

However, the FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn later indicated that, while the drug has not yet been formally approved, access to it was being expanded so that authorities could gather more data.

This is known as “compassionate use.”

“If there is an experimental drug that is potentially available, a doctor could ask for that drug to be used in a patient. We have criteria for that and very speedy approval for that,” said Hahn.

Lies, the FDA commissioner corrected Trump immediately after Trump speech.

They just want to start the trial with it. It unfortunate that the news was already on front page yesterday, people would be just there with fake news today.

I won't be surprise if Trump has a link to the pharmaceutical company that produces chloroquine, this man never miss an opportunity to cash out.
