U.S. President Donald Trump has enthusiastically endorsed two experimental drugs often used for the prevention and treatment of certain types of malaria, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, as treatments for COVID-19.
Anecdotal evidence has indicated that the drugs helped COVID-19 patients, though there has not been any clinical data confirming it, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned last month against taking them without medical supervision.
"It doesn't kill people," the president said, adding, "We don't have time to go and say, gee, let's take a couple of years and test it out."
