US President Trump has once again defended the use of malaria drugs against Covid-19. Hydroxychloroquine was first suggested by Trump in March as a possible anti-corona drug. Since then, the medical community has come to understand that there is no evidence that the drug works against Covid-19 and has been warned that it can lead to heart problems.
But there are also doctors who still see benefits. Last Monday, a number of doctors promote the use of the drug in a video. It was brought to the attention of Trump. “I think these are respected doctors.”
The video was removed by social media companies Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, also from an account of one of Trump’s sons. One of the doctors involved in the video then criticized the “censorship”: “Treatment methods against Covid-19 should be discussed, talked about between people in the medical world. There should never be any question of them be censored, and kept silent about it. “
Trump also complained that his advisers, including infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci, are more popular than himself. “They are highly regarded, but nobody can appreciate me. It has to do with my personality.”
