“A panel of experts convened by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases recommends against doctors using a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19 patients because of potential toxicities,” NPR reports. President Trump had described the drugs in a tweet as having a “real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine.”

Dr. Rick Bright, director of the office involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine, says he was abruptly dismissed from his post in part because he resisted efforts to widen the availability of a coronavirus treatment pushed by President Donald Trump. "I believe that the president has learned from this case," she told Norah O'Donnell of CBS News. "The president has been impeached. That's a pretty big lesson." S. Collins
“The Food and Drug Administration is warning patients and doctors that two malaria drugs touted by President Trump for use against the coronavirus are linked to cardiac dangers and should only be used in hospitalized patients or as part of clinical trials for the virus,” the Wall Street Journal reports. “The two chemically similar drugs have been used for years against malaria and still may be used for that purpose.” “However, the FDA said it was aware of ‘serious heart problems’ associated with the use of the drugs, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, which are being evaluated in clinical studies as to whether they are useful against the coronavirus-caused disease, called Covid-19.”
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is a small group of physicians who, under a false authoritative name, advocate for far-right conservative values in the practice of medicine. While purporting to have high regard for the Hippocratic Oath, "the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship, and the "practice of private medicine",[1] it appears to treat these concepts as terms of art.

Our motto, "omnia pro aegroto" means "all for the patient."[4] The AAPS is listed as a quack organization by Quackwatch[5]. The organization has made the questionable decision of engaging homeschool instructor and Conservapedia founder Andrew Schlafly as its general counsel to represent its interests in a variety of matters, including filing amici briefs in appellate litigation and even representing member physicians in disciplinary proceedings. As of 2016, their president, Melinda Woofter, has stated: We have witnessed an accelerated transformation of our profession away from individualized patient care toward politicized and collectivized “evidence-based medicine.” Without a doubt, this one-size-fits-all approach does not work and never can
