Summary

Flashback Friday: Hydroxychloroquine: Politicizing Medicine

Separating fact from spin when it comes to hydroxychloroquine's representation in the media.

We also talk to a leading scientist, Dr. William O'Neill, whose institution is studying both hydroxycholoroquine and another medicine, remdesivir, to treat coronavirus.
