is controversial that President Trump of the United States is taking malaria drugs every day to prevent corona19. However, even if experts warn of side effects that they may die if they do it wrong, it is a point.

Washington Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung reports.

President Trump continued the theory of malaria medicine today (20th).

[Trump / President of the United States: Malaria drugs do not harm people. I think it's a safer step from Corona 19.]

Trump went beyond complimenting the efficacy of the antimalarial drug, and recommended doctors ask for prescriptions.The National Institutes of Health has warned that malaria drugs are ineffective and dangerous, and the US Food and Drug Administration has also told them not to use them outside the hospital because of the side effects of malaria drugs.

[Patris Harris, President of the American Medical Association: Malaria drugs may have side effects. You may lose your life. Corona 19 is a new virus.]

However, President Trump's love for malaria drugs is a real problem.

It was more dangerous for obese people, so I ended up responding to advice not to take it.

[Pelosi / Federal House Speaker: I don't think it's a good idea for someone who is pathologically overweight to take malaria drugs.]

[Trump / US President: Pelosi is a sick woman. There are a lot of problems, but the psychological problems are big.]

President Trump also questioned last month about what it would be like to inject a fungicide into the body to remove the corona virus.

Criticism has been criticized for ignoring the advice of experts and blindly advancing the myth that the appearance of a top leader is only causing confusion on the quarantine front.
