Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) is urging President Donald Trump to stop sharing uncorroborated claims about the coronavirus on Twitter and to take more action to fight the outbreak.
“The bottom line we have to listen to public health experts follow the science,” Biden said during a virtual event on Wednesday. “Parents have to be able to trust that their kids are safe, or they’re not going to send them back.”
“President Trump should stop tweeting and start doing something about it, damn it,” he added.
He blasted Trump for sharing a video of Houston doctor, Stella Immanuel, and others who said that hydroxychloroquine is a cure for COVID-19.
“Stop talking about this crazy woman he talked about last night who’s an absolute disgrace,” Biden said.

That claim runs contrary to the advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, who said the anti-malarial drug is “not effective” in treating the virus, as IJR reported.
During an interview on MSNBC, Fauci said, “You look at the scientific data and the evidence and the scientific data, the cumulative data on trials, clinical trials that were valid, namely critical trials that were randomized and controlled in the proper way. All of those trials show consistently that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease or COVID-19.”
