On April 26 a man proporting to be a medical doctor criticized President Trump and called him a snake oil salesman for claiming Hydroxychloroquine is a game changer for Wuhan flu aka COVID-19. But The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) claimed in a letter to Arizona’s governor that hydroxychloroquine was more than 90% effective at treating more than 2,000 coronavirus patients.
Further, The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons presented data on 2,333 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine across the globe shows 91.6 percent of those who got the drug fared better after treatment. HERE.
During an April 23 press briefing, President Trump’s suggested he was interested in exploring new potential novel coronavirus treatments, saying, “supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light…supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting.”
Trump’s statements came immediately after Bill Bryan, an undersecretary at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), presented a U.S. government-funded study with preliminary research that found that the virus does not survive as long when exposed to heat, sunlight, and humidity.
And while Trump has not clarified exactly what he was referring to when he mentioned a “very powerful light,” there is an actual UV light therapy that is being explored as a potential treatment for coronavirus and other respiratory infections. So it seems the Courier failed to fact check the alleged doctor about Trump, hydroxycholoroquine and U.V. radiation inside the body. Three strikes against the alleged doctor and the Courier for a bad job poorly done.
