An infectious disease doctor who has been treating coronavirus patients told Fox News's Laura Ingraham Wednesday that the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is a "Game changer" in fighting the deadly virus.
Ingraham started off the segment showing the breakdown of Dr. Stephen Smith's 72 patients, which included a mix of those who were prediabetic, diabetic, and had a high Body Mass Index score indicating obesity.
"The more we see this disease, the more we understand that severe rapid COVID disease is in diabetics or prediabetics we don't have anyone in our group over 80 that was not diabetic or pre-diabetic that was intubated," said the founder of the Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health.
Of the younger patients that had severe disease, he explained they had very high BMIs.
"We haven't had anyone under 70 who didn't have a very high BMI, or was pre or diabetic, get seriously ill," he said.
Smith agreed with President Trump's earlier assessment that the drug combination is a "Game changer."
"It's a game changer. It's an absolute game changer. I think this is the beginning of the end of the #pandemic. I'm very serious." pic.
