President Donald Trump called himself a "big fan" of an unproven coronavirus treatment Friday and repeatedly contradicted his own top health officials on how much is known about the drug's potential to help at least some patients affected by the pandemic.
"We want to do that in the setting of a clinical trial — a large, pragmatic clinical trial — to actually gather that information and answer the question that needs to be answered," Hahn said of chloroquine's effectiveness. But the existing research Trump was so enthused about is very preliminary, as Fauci painstakingly explained several times on Friday. Basically, the science done to date shows that it's worth investigating further — but it doesn't prove much on its own about its effect on Covid-19.
While the malaria drug has a fairly good safety profile; no medication is without some risks. And it's completely unknown whether it's safe for people who are dangerously ill with coronavirus. Researchers don't yet know when to administer it, or at what doses. It may work best right after someone is infected, or could be most effective only if someone is already critically ill.
