WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has supplied Brazil with 2 million doses of hydroxychloroquine for use against the coronavirus, the two governments said on Sunday, despite medical warnings about risks associated with the anti-malaria drug.
The White House released a joint announcement on the drug, whose use has been touted both by U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, just days after the World Health Organization suspended testing it in COVID-19 patients because of safety concerns.
Trump himself said in mid-May that he was on a regimen of hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure, even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had issued a warning about its use for the coronavirus.
Bolsonaro, a right-wing leader who has forged personal ties with Trump, said recently he kept a box of the drug in case his 93-year-old mother needed it.

A sizeable chunk of the 29 million doses of hydroxychloroquine bought by the US to combat the coronavirus pandemic is from India, President Donald Trump has said as he acknowledged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was "great" when he sought his help to allow the sale of the anti-malaria drug to treat the growing number of COVID-19 patients in America.

Why not unload it on Brazil.
It can't hurt now can it?
I feel like this bogus hydroxychloroquine story has been to death!
IT DOES NOT WORK.
The science behind it proves that!

(460 posts)All drugs have expiration dates and Trump doesn't want to be the one held responsible for trashing millions of dollars on a drug that is ultimately heading for a landfill. Its good for 36 months and that is it. Read warning below:
"Do not take hydroxychloroquine after the expiration date printed on the bottle. It may have no effect at all, or worse, an entirely unexpected effect if you take it after the expiration date."
