President Trump has been a cheerleader for the drug hydroxychloroquine, pointing in a tweet and in person to a French study as evidence that one particular drug combination might be “one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine.
“But now the medical society that published that French research has issued a statement saying the study “does not meet the Society’s expected standard.”
Dr. Kevin Tracey, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in New York City, gave an even more pointed assessment of the French research.
“The study was a complete failure,” he said.

“It was pathetic,” added Art Caplan, head of the division of medical ethics at the New York University School of Medicine.
