According to a report from Fox News, the same media outlets that once mocked President Trump for encouraging the use of hydroxychloroquine on March 19 are now acknowledging that the drug, which has been approved for emergency use by the FDA, could be useful.
The New York Times reported this week that “Malaria Drug Helps Virus Patients Improve, in Small Study,” and “A group of moderately ill people were given hydroxychloroquine, which appeared to ease their symptoms quickly, but more research is needed.”
Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, went from threatening doctors who prescribed the drug with “administrative action” to requesting that the federal government ship her state some.
Steve Sisolak, governor of Nevada had a similar reaction.
“Now, a drug called chloroquine, and some people would add to it, hydroxychloroquine, so chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine … [has] shown very encouraging, very, very encouraging early results.” President Trump said back on March 19.
The president noted that the drug may not “go as planned” and that more testing was needed, but that “we’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately.”

WHAT IS CHLOROQUINE?
Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reviewed by The Washington Free Beacon revealed numerous other recipients of Wanda’s cash, including Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the pro-choice EMILY’s List.
Additionally, Fox News has reviewed a Facebook page apparently belonging to Wanda, which was first identified by the Twitter user Techno Fog.
“Your psycho prez is in [t]own, are you going to see him?” Wanda wrote on Facebook on Feb. 19, by way of wishing a friend a happy birthday. Trump was in town at a rally in Phoenix, Ariz., on that day.
Wanda has not replied to multiple requests for comment by Fox News. She deleted her Facebook page after Fox News attempted to contact her there.
