Trump slams 'phony' media report of lethal hydroxychloroquine, says DoD used drug safely for decades

  1. Trump on Tuesday at the White House criticized a retrospective study of Veterans Affairs patients hospitalized with coronavirus showing hydroxychloroquine was ineffective, saying that it failed to take into consideration the underlying co-morbidities associated with higher coronavirus death rates.
  2. President Trump slammed what he called a "phony" media report claiming that the drug hydroxychloroquine is lethal, saying the United States, including the Department of Defense, had safely used the drug safely for decades.
  3. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie said in the same meeting that the reported study critical of hydroxychloroquine was “not a VA study," that resulted in a "phony story" about the VA contradicting Trump.
