Only folks who don't use an insurance company can guarantee their doc will 'work' for them - meaning prescribe what the patient asks for
either his former personal doctor in Westchester, or some doc he claims to know well in Westchester (I think he said the first, but haven't confirmed) is prescribing it with good results.

what's the brand name and manufacturer? And how many times has Trump mentioned them by name?

PS - the brand manufacturer is NOT Novartis, who has donated millions of doses of the generic HCQ.

There is no scientific data/recording, studies. medical evidene.

There are anecdotal stories.

It is what it is.

AND AS I HAVE SAID OVER AND OVER....I know doctors are prescribing it as a treatment......there are a couple of NEW Studies on preventative......

but it is not ready for people to be prescribed it for prevention.

And indicative of that is none of Trump's doctors suggested he do it.......he ASKED Because he wants to say he took it and never got COVID 19

Why would Trump even say this? There is not much benefit a Covid-19 patient has with it... It anything it makes it worse?

Trump is an anti-masker, but he'll take hydroxychloroquine as a preventative.

He needs a dunce cap.
