Gohmert Says He Will Take Hydroxychloroquine For COVID-19, Flouting FDA Warning

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said after testing positive for coronavirus Wednesday that he will take an anti-malaria drug as treatment, flouting the wisdom of experts who have cautioned against its use for COVID-19.

“My doctor and I are all in,” Gohmert said. - TPM

I wonder if Hermain Cain took hydroxychloroquine as his cure?

And I want a doctor to evaluate him daily for improvement.
