Donald Trump’s tweet about azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine is even more dangerous than we thought
This morning Donald Trump posted a tweet asserting that a combination of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for coronavirus. There is a recent medical study along these lines. The trouble is, Trump is painting this as some kind of miracle cure, at a time when medical experts are still trying to determine real answers.
Various medical professionals have spent the day warning that Donald Trump’s tweet was overly simplistic and misleading. Dr. Edsel Salvana spelled it out best:
Please pay attention folks. This is important. Ignore what Trump said and LISTEN TO THE DOCTORS! https://t.co/hMUnICvaVs
