Axios has a report out this morning detailing a significant confrontation that apparently took place on Sunday between Peter Navarro and Dr. Anthony Fauci during the meeting of the Coronavirus Task Force. The subject of the argument detailed in the report was hydroxychloroquine and Fauci’s ongoing campaign to pretend that this cheap and plentiful medication has not been proven effective against the Wuhan Virus.
Navarro, who, like President Trump is well aware of the large and constantly-growing body of proof that HC is indeed proving to be an almost 100%-effective cure for this viral plague that China unleashed on the world, has obviously grown weary of Fauci’s nonsense, and decided to call him out on it in that meeting.
Excerpt from the Axios report:
Toward the end of the meeting, Hahn began a discussion of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which Trump believes could be a “game-changer” against the coronavirus.
Hahn gave an update about the drug and what he was seeing in different trials and real-world results. Then Navarro got up. He brought over a stack of folders and dropped them on the table. People started passing them around. “And the first words out of his mouth are that the studies that he’s seen, I believe they’re mostly overseas, show ‘clear therapeutic efficacy,'” said a source familiar with the conversation. “Those are the exact words out of his mouth.” Navarro’s comments set off a heated exchange about how the Trump administration and the president ought to talk about the malaria drug, which Fauci and other public health officials stress is unproven to combat COVID-19.
Fauci pushed back against Navarro, saying that there was only anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine works against the coronavirus. Researchers have said studies out of France and China are inadequate because they did not include control groups. Fauci and others have said much more data is needed to prove that hydroxychloroquine is effective against the coronavirus. As part of his role, Navarro has been trying to source hydroxychloroquine from around the world. He’s also been trying to ensure that there are enough domestic production capabilities inside the U.S. Fauci’s mention of anecdotal evidence “just set Peter off,” said one of the sources. Navarro pointed to the pile of folders on the desk, which included printouts of studies on hydroxychloroquine from around the world.
Navarro said to Fauci, “That’s science, not anecdote,” said another of the sources. Navarro started raising his voice, and at one point accused Fauci of objecting to Trump’s travel restrictions, saying, “You were the one who early on objected to the travel restrictions with China,” saying that travel restrictions don’t work. (Navarro was one of the earliest to push the China travel ban.)

Please take the time to follow the link to the Axios report and read it in full. You will be glad you did.
The thing to remember about this joyful incident is that Navarro is a guy who President Trump trusts. Dr. Fauci, due to his own self-serving antics over the past three months, is not.
Meanwhile, we have this happy report from Fox News this morning, detailing how at least 4,000 Wuhan Virus patients in New York are now being successfully treated with HC in combination with zinc and antibiotics:
As many as 4,000 seriously ill coronavirus patients in New York are being treated with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, state health officials say.
President Trump has touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential life-saver, although there is no widespread scientific evidence to date showing it helps battle COVID-19.
But Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month said health care providers in the state would be using the drug in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax, or azithromycin, for some last-ditch cases, based on potentially promising research.
“Time is of the essence,’’ Albany University Public Health Dean David Holtgrave, who is on the state’s research team, said in a statement.
A state Health Department official said the DOH has shipped doses of hydroxychloroquine to 56 hospitals across New York, distributing enough “to treat 4,000 patients to date.”
Patients have received doses as part of four- or 10-day regimens, officials said.
So, much as Dr. Fauci and the corrupt news media would prefer otherwise, Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo obviously wants his citizens to have the best chance to survive the contraction of this virus. Good for him.
See? The news isn’t all bad. Sometimes, you just have to look for it.
That is all.
QED
Fauci=hack the quack.
Fauci is a FRAUD!! A HILLIARY LOVING COUP PLOTTER!
Why should doctors and epidemiologists be who we listen to in evaluating medical treatments??
Let irascible economists run medical protocols! DUH! So obvious!
Showboat personalities come in all heights, professions and age groups. Think Mike Bloomberg or Napoleon.
The doctor seems stuck on keeping the economy shut down for a long, long time. Just say NO, Mister President.
I’d be willing to bet Dr. Faucu is taking the drug to prevent getting sick.
back in January and even in February Fauci was saying that the virus was rather minor. I think he has become drunk on all the attention the media heaps on him, mainly because ofo his sometimes open conflict with Trump. If he agreed with Trump, the media would be attacking him as an incompetent clown.
Does Evil ALWAYS beget more Evil?
Jury’s still out.
This prejudice against foreign based drug studies is pretty well entrenched in our medicine. I’ve even had freepers argue that they will not accept results from places like Italy because they only want results from ivy league American researchers. This happened with my wife’s cancer treatment which saved her life it was only available for compassionate use here even though South American studies had shown that it was a huge game changer. Once MD Anderson came out with a study then the doctors here all accepted it.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
The only tool that tool Fauxcy has in his knapsack is Shut-it-Down[isolation].
After this thing passes and all the studies and postmortems of what we did right and did wrong- I think the number one thing we did wrong was listening to Fauci.
Hydroxychloroquine and Z-Pak or Zinc works. The fact we aren’t giving it to everyone testing positive (and those with strong symptoms who haven’t got the test back yet) will be the biggest failing.
Why? Simple - Trump pushed for it. The media and half the country pushed back - including lefty Fauci. It will be the single biggest mistake. And we broke the economy over it.
[[The doctor seems stuck on keeping the economy shut down for a long, long time.]]
Cuomo is stuck on allowing people to die without the drug because he hates Donald Trump
He was just on blabbing about how compassionate NY is- How NY is ‘doing everything they can to save lives”- what a load of nonsense- Apparently he is still not allowing doctors to prescribe it outside of the hospital setting- and won’t allow pharmacies to fill orders for people not in the hospital
He’s acting on DJTs orders, which is wonderful news!
I’m going to look for a pic of the Fauxcy face palm when Trump happened to mention the Deep State.
That would be a classic.
Yep.
Fauci will lose this one. Science is not on his side. Calling thousands of cures anecdotal is an awful thing when people are dying.
Faucci quickly turning in to Bagdad bob
