“That was stunning.”
Fox News’ Neil Cavuto was so shocked by President Donald Trump announcing he’s taking hydroxychloroquine that he took a few minutes to explicitly warn viewers about the risks of taking it.
At one point the president asked “what have you got to lose,” but as Cavuto said, “A number of studies, those certainly vulnerable in the population have one thing to lose, their lives. A VA study showed that among a population of veterans in a hospital receiving this treatment, those with vulnerable conditions, respiratory conditions, heart elements, they died.”
Cavuto read from a number of other studies about the effects of hydroxychloroquine and said, “Those who took it, in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions, they died. I want to stress again — they died. If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus or, in a worst-case scenario, you are dealing with the virus, and you are in this vulnerable population, it will kill you. I cannot stress that enough. This will kill you.”
He also brought on Dr. Bob Lahita, chairman of medicine at St. Joseph University Hospital, who said he has seen “no effect whatsoever with this drug” on patients with COVID-19.
Lahita continued warning viewers about the serious risks, and at one point Cavuto just straight-up asked him, “The president says, ‘What have you got to lose? It sounds like what you’re saying, you have a risk of losing your life if you do about the president just recommended.”

They’re afraid Orange Man Bad is exposing their junk science.
Some doc’s say it’s okay, others say it’ll kill you; the VA still gives it to patients.
Everyone how goes to Africa takes the drug...
Looks like Cavuto is lost.
Wanna bet Cavuto would beg his doctor to prescribe it if he got diagnosed with CV19?
Fox could pt a sack of cow manure in a chair and have a more intelligent host than Cavuto. It would smell the same but would spread fewer lies.
Neil, give it a rest. The rest of the Media will do a far better impression of a conniption fit than you could ever hope.
What hysterical nonsense. Also reflective of cowardice.
I know a very respected older doctor who made certain that his leftist daughter is taking the same prescription. What I’ve read about this drug sounds a little scary but POTUS has excellent care and my personal fact finding is trumped by the actions of the old experienced and respected medical professional.
Which raises an obvious question: why do they want to kill lupus patients?
I had Bret Baier on for about 5 minutes when he had on a doctor who was complaining that Trump was being irresponsible for telling people he was on hydroxychloroquin and zinc. Weren’t there a few studies that proved it helped people if it was given early after exposure?? Cavuto complained too, so he and Baier are sowing dissent.....FoxNews isn’t doing as well as previously. How the mighty have fallen!
Trump has exposed the Big Pharma fakers like Fauxi. The a-hole media heads are waiting in line.
Cavuto has become over the last many. many years, a first class idiot.
He can answer tomorrow that if I had not told you, you would be ragging me for nontransparency. It is between me and my doctor.
He ought to see if
Here’s a theory. We know “Dr” Cavuto has had heart problems, right?
Maybe this extreme overreaction today is because he’s already requested HCQ and has been told it’s not safe for him.
IOW, is this pure projection, as is SO typical of the media? After all, the world revolves around them.
Plus, he’s also mad that with that one declaration, Trump just reset the news cycle for the next 24-48 hrs. Ha!
That’s strange, I’ve never heard of all the people dying from HCQ until just now.
I don’t see the value in telling the media or Country...it will build into a huge brew haha. I love the Prez but let’s not give these douche bags ammo.
Cavuto has really been getting on my nerves for quite some time with his Never Trump bullsh*t. Just another solid reason why I watch OAN for my news. Fox is circling the bowl, thanks in no small part to that RINO, Paul Ryan.
