Media Called Trump 'Snake-Oil Salesman' for Touting Drug, Now According to Fauci It's a Game-Changer

Weeks ago, after the president touted the drug remdesivir as possibly being able to help those suffering from the coronavirus, the establishment media attacked him.

The Food and Drug Administration announced it has authorized the drug for emergency use.

Gilead Sciences, which manufactures the drug, also said the study revealed that around 50 percent of the patients treated with the drug showed improvement.

When Trump touted the drug during a March 19 news briefing, the media was quick to pounce on and ridicule him.

100%. 0%. Trump said it was possible remdesivir "Could be a game-changer," called it a "Very powerful" drug and said that drug, among other therapeutics, "Could be a tremendous breakthrough."

The Los Angeles Times was among the media outlets that attacked the president for touting the potential of remdesivir and another drug, hydroxychloroquine.

"Neither of the two drugs Trump mentioned is a proven treatment for COVID-19, the deadly disease caused by the coronavirus, and neither is likely to be publicly available in the near future, as the head of the FDA said in gently walking back part of Trump's comments, which painted a far rosier picture," it said.
