White House trade adviser Peter Navarro reportedly had a heated dispute with Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House Anti-Coronavirus Task Force, over the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, against COVID-19 on Saturday.
Theyâre desperate to be seen as âdoing somethingâ. Itâs all about ratings.
âYou canât hurry a funnel,â Gramps used to say.
Per Axios
Toward the end of the meeting, Hahn began a discussion of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which Trump believes could be a âgame-changerâ against the coronavirus.

Letâs NOT forget that hydroxychloroquine is made by Novartis, the company that paid Michael Cohen Essential LLC $1.2M for access to Trump.
So is Navarro going to get a cut from Novartis or from Trumpâs âprofitââŚyou knowâŚtrickledown corruption/profiteering amidst a pandemic - itâs SOP in Trump Regime, never mind the preventable American deaths!
Addendum:
Gallows humor - Sad but trueâŚ
Addendum2:
Norvartis is the parent company of Sandoz who are manufacturers of hydrochloroquine.
Manufacturers of hydroxychloroquine include generic manufacturers Actavis, which is owned by Teva, and Sandoz. Novartis, the parent company of Sandoz,
Addendum3:
For clarificationâŚI did NOT say Sanofi is NOT the manufacturer of hydrochloroquine.
There are other drug manufacturers that make hydrochloroquine alsoâŚSandoz/Norvatis is one of them! See list below.

Navarro is an ass, Fauci is a scientist. While desperate times may call for unproven treatments itâs breathtaking that a failed trade advisor is getting trumps ear on this matter.
SoâŚPeter Navarro, THE poster child for The Peter Principle, who canât work a trade deal to save his life is now a DOCTOR? A SCIENTIST? He is nothing more than a âhumperâ and if Donnie says JUMP, Navarro rushes in to say HOW HIGH??? This is a helluva way to run a governmentâŚlet alone a pandemic.
When Iâm ill, I always seek out the opinion of a hack âeconomistâ to prescribe a cure.
Whatâs wrong with you critics?
âHey, now. Whoâs the barber here?â

Confrontation, big fâing deal. Nothing will change, onward to the election.
People get fired or resign, it doesnât matter, the mother/father killer will be there no matter what.
Thousand bucks says Navarro (and Trump) have shares in hydroxychloroquine.
Navarro was a dick, is a dick, and will be a dick 'til the end of time.
As if there"s even been enough time to organize, execute, and peer-review a placebo-controlled, double-blinded study with sufficient subject #s. Of course everything to date is anecdotalâŚDr. F. knows exactly whats going on.
Obv Trump pulled Navarro aside, âConvince Fauci to endorse that malaria drugâ.
If anyone needs prayers, itâs Fauci. Heâs the sole bulwark against the pernicious incompetence that will kill millions.
So. That sales pitch Trump made for this drug in Saturdayâs (?) briefing, like he was hawking it for an infomercial, was his implicit rebuttal of Fauci.
Cool, cool.
Guess Trump wonât be going here
Maybe heâd wear this one? (edit: ha ha it took me three times to spell this right! Did I mention I love English?)
The word is that Forsythia is the cureâŚ
Well, hopefully Jared was in the room to be the voice of educated reason.
Leeches were never more prevalent than now.
A-Rod must have been tied up.
