White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro insists hydroxychloroquine is a better treatment for coronavirus than remdesivir.
Navarro appeared on CNN with host Jim Scuitto on Monday where he dismissed Adm. Brett Giroir’s remarks reiterating the ineffectiveness of hydroxychloroquine in treating coronavirus patients.
“I take exception to Giroir’s analysis. He hasn’t looked at the data within the last two weeks,” Navarro said.
He later added, “My view of this now is doctor’s opinions are a dime a dozen and you’ve got some doctors who say it doesn’t work. You’ve got some doctors who say it does.”
Scuitto went on to ask Navarro why not focus on treatments that have shown to be effective for coronavirus. Navarro responded with another claim in support of hydroxychloroquine. While he claimed the study appeared in a publication, he never specified which journal the study appears in.
Navarro said, “Actually, a study that came out just last week showed that hydroxychloroquine works better than remdesivir. You can check that out in the journal in which it appears. My views on are well-known.”
