Texas sends hydroxychloroquine to D-FW hospitals despite its unproven status

The state’s public health agency is sending hundreds of bottles of an unproven coronavirus treatment to hospitals in Dallas and across Texas.

Mineola Sen. Bryan Hughes brokered the donation of 1 million hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets, an anti-malaria drug President Donald Trump has promoted in the treatment of COVID-19, but that experts warn is not yet proven effective.

"The data are really just at best suggestive," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said recently on CBS. "There have been cases that show there may be an effect… and there are others to show there’s no effect."
