Scientists warn more data is needed to show if the drug
treats Covid-19

"Fox News has positively covered the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine nearly 300 times in just a two-week period, according to a report.
Media Matters for America, a progressive, nonprofit media watchdog, documented how many times conservative news organisation Fox News promoted hydroxychloroquine on its programs from 23 March to 6 April.
The organisation found the drug and its variant chloroquine, which could help treat symptoms of Covid-19, was promoted 275 times for its potential benefits against the novel virus. To contrast, there were only 29 negative mentions about the drugs.
Hydroxychloroquine was previously approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1955 to help treat malaria. Lupus patients also use the drug to aid joint inflammation from the disease.
But interest in the drug rose last month after France released a limited study showing faster clearance of the virus when used for some patients. The limited study is controversial among scientists, though, because it tossed out the six patients, one of whom died, that didn't react well to the drug during the study."
