Despite Bolsonaro's propaganda, WHO reinforces the ineffectiveness of hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19.
The WHO reiterated that it has suspended trials with hydroxychloroquine to avoid putting lives at risk.
247 - The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a statement on Tuesday, minutes after Jair Bolsonaro said that was infected with the coronavirus reaffirming that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective against Covid-19.
Though Bolsonaro, do your propaganda! Regarding the substance, the WHO's chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, explained that the organization suspended trials with hydroxychloroquine to avoid putting lives at risk. "All our work is part of a well-established process, of course we are improving this process. We conduct a systematic review of the evidence and this takes time, as we have a large number of studies. We interrupted the hydroxychloroquine trial for safety reasons, as we cannot put people's lives at risk. We have sufficient evidence to know that there is no impact on hospitalized patients with Covid-19."
