Photo: Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images Five days after Donald Trump touted chloroquine as a possible “game changer” in the search for a novel coronavirus cure, a man in Arizona has died from drinking fish-tank cleaner containing the chemical.
Trump likely heard about chloroquine after it was amplified by right-wing media. The night before his briefing, on Fox News, which he watches religiously, Tucker Carlson had hosted Gregory Rigano, a man who has self-published a Google Docs paper also praising chloroquine. Though Rigano was billed on the show as a “Stanford University School of Medicine adviser,” he is not a doctor, and Stanford has denied any association with him.
