The FDA, the President, and the American public has had a tense relationship with hydroxychloroquine since it was first hailed as a potential cure for the coronavirus. The president has said that he takes it himself, that it can produce very good results, and other claims in a similar vein. The FDA has taken a step that pushes back on this narrative, pulling emergency usage of the drug and stating that it does not have serious applicability as a potential cure.
