Fauci tempers Trump's optimism on chloroquine use for coronavirus
One day after Trump said chloroquine had shown “very encouraging early results” treating COVID-19 and would be rolled out to patients “almost immediately,” Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked at a briefing in Washington whether there was any evidence to suggest that taking the drug would help prevent a person from coming down with COVID-19.
“The answer is no. And the evidence that you’re talking about, John [Roberts, Fox News correspondent], is anecdotal evidence, so as the commissioner of FDA and the president mentioned yesterday, we’re trying to strike a balance between making something with a potential of an effect to the American people available, at the same time we do it under the auspices of a protocol that would give us information to determine if it’s truly safe and truly effective,” Fauci said. “But the information that you’re referring to specifically is anecdotal; it was not done in a controlled clinical trial, so you really can’t make any definitive statement about it.”

He is mincing words here.
"anecdotal" compared to "clinical".
Technically the research was on = (SARS-CoV).
(COVID-19) is = (SARS-CoV-2)
So it looks like a game of semantics.
But still,
I think his tit is in the wringer on this.
Because the clear evidence shows he had PLENTY of knowledge beforehand regarding [coronaviruses].
Fauci had to know how similar these are.

(NIH) - COVID-19, MERS & SARS
Research evidence suggests that SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV originated in bats, and it is likely that SARS-CoV-2 did as well. SARS-CoV then spread from infected civets to people, while MERS-CoV spreads from infected dromedary camels to people. Scientists are trying to determine how SARS-CoV-2 spread from an animal reservoir to people.

Long story short:
(Fauci) had prior knowledge there were benefits of (CQ) & (HCQ) treating (SARS-CoV) and it was moar than anecdotal.
