‘For all you murderers’: Peter Navarro jabs CNN over Mayo Clinic take on Hydroxychloroquine

September 25, 2023 | | Print Article

Former President Donald Trump assistant Peter Navarro — along with countless social media users — are feeling vindicated over their views on Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19.

On Sunday, Navarro posted on X an article from the Mayo Clinic that includes a “grudging admission of glaring truth: ‘Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.'”

“For all you murderers at @CNN @johnberman who spread lies about hydroxy, this one’s for u,” Navarro stated.


According to the article, “Using this medicine alone or with other medicines (eg, azithromycin) may increase your risk of heart rhythm problems (eg, QT prolongation, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia).”

“Hydroxychloroquine should only be used for COVID-19 in a hospital or during clinical trials,” the Mayo Clinic cautions. “Do not take any medicine that contains hydroxychloroquine unless prescribed by your doctor.”

It wasn’t long ago that anyone who dared to suggest that the inexpensive, widely tested medicine may be beneficial for COVID patients was demonized in the mainstream media and deplatformed from social media, their reputations shredded.

Reports of success with Hydroxychloroquine were dismissed as “anecdotal” and those who prescribed it were at risk from their fellow doctors of losing their licenses to practice for spreading “dangerous” misinformation and disinformation.

“If advocating against vaccination and for therapies such as hydroxychloroquine doesn’t constitute practicing with gross incompetence, what does?” wrote Doctors Neil W. Schluger and Kenneth Prager in 2022.

Navaro has long been an outspoken proponent of Hydroxychloroquine.

In 2020, he clashed with CNN anchor John Berman, who demanded to know, “Why should we listen to you and not Dr. Anthony Fauci?”

“You presented a false case there,” Navarro replied. “Basically, what I have said — and the only thing that I have said — is that the scientific studies that I have seen point to the possibility that it has both therapeutic efficacy as well as possible prophylactic efficacy.”

“This is a situation where this drug could save lives,” Navarro said. “And I think that there needs to be a debate.”

“I would not consult someone involved with trade policy,” Berman snidely stated when asked by Navarro if he would take the medicine should he get sick. “Do you want an internist striking trade deals?”

With the Mayo Clinic’s admission that, in fact, Hydroxychloroquine is an accepted treatment for COVID-19, many on X are understandably fur

“Yep,” stated one angry user, “you were lied to the entire time.”
