Hydroxychloroquine not effective, time to 'move on:' White House coronavirus testing chief Giroir.
The White House coronavirus task force member charged with coordinating the U.S. testing effort said Sunday the nation needs to "move on" from the debate over hydroxychloroquine, a drug which President Donald Trump has promoted as a COVID-19 treatment despite clear evidence that it is effective.
Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary of health and human services, said on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that "from a public health standpoint, at first, hydroxychloroquine looked very promising" but at "this point in time, there's been five randomized control, placebo-controlled trials that do not show any benefit to hydroxychloroquine."
"So, at this point in time, we don't recommend that as a treatment. There's no evidence to show that it is," Giroir said.
