Claim: “If you look at the one (hydroxychloroquine) survey, the only bad survey, they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape. They were very old. Almost dead.” (Donald Trump, 2020-05-19)
Evidence (2020-05-19): Trump spoke as though there was only one study that found no benefit from hydroxychloroquine, and said it only looked at people "that were in very bad shape," almost dead. [...] "If you look at the one survey, the only bad survey, they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape," Trump said at a May 19 press event. It was a Trump enemy statement." [...] Trump spoke about "the one survey," a study of VA patients and hydroxychloroquine, and said it was "bad" because "they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape.

Evidence (2020-05-19): President Trump is sticking by his use of hydroxychloroquine to prevent the coronavirus despite criticism he has received from media pundits and some medical experts. [...] Hydroxychloroquine, which is available as a generic drug, is often used to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus but has been touted by the president as a potential treatment for the coronavirus. However, it is recommended by medical experts not to be taken by those with underlying respiratory conditions or heart ailments, and its side effects can cause muscle weakness and heart arrhythmia. A Department of Veterans Affairs study showed that a number of veterans in a vulnerable population with underlying conditions died while taking hydroxychloroquine at a hospital, but Trump poked holes in the survey discrediting the drug.

Evidence (2020-05-19): Study found higher death rate among veterans taking hydroxychloroquine [...] On Tuesday, defending his apparent decision to take the drug, President Trump dismissed the research as "a bad survey" because doctors administered hydroxychloroquine to patients "that were in very bad shape, they were very old, almost dead." [...] In early May, an observational study of 1,446 patients at New York-Presbyterian-Columbia University Hospital was published showing no benefit to the drug. Of the patients given hydroxychloroquine, 32.3 percent ended up needing a ventilator or dying, compared to 14.9 percent of patients who did not receive the drug. Doctors involved in the study, however, were more likely to give the antimalarial to sicker patients, which most likely skewed the data.

Evidence (2021-04-30): They were very old, almost dead," Trump told reporters Tuesday. "It was a Trump enemy statement." [...] "The only negative I’ve heard," he added, "was the study where they gave it -- was it the VA? — with, you know, people that aren’t big Trump fans." There is no evidence that the study, funded by grants from the NIH and the University of Virginia, was influenced by anyone’s opinions about Trump. The retrospective analysis was conducted by researchers at several universities and looked at the impact of hydroxychloroquine in patients at veterans’ hospitals across the nation. It found no benefit and more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care alone. That work was posted online for researchers and has not been reviewed by other scientists, but a larger observational study that looked at the outcomes of nearly 100,000 patients in 671 hospitals on six continents published Friday sounded similar alarms.

Evidence (2020-05-20): Veterans Secretary Robert Wilkie said the hydroxychloroquine study was not from the VA but used data from veterans' hospitals 'It was given by, obviously not friends of the administration, and the study came out, people were ready to die. Everybody was old, had bad problems with hearts, diabetes and everything else you can imagine,' President Trump added, blasting what he called a phony study put out by the VA. [...] 'Well I've worked with doctors and if you look at the one survey - the only bad survey - they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape. It was a Trump enemy statement,' he said during a visit to Capitol Hill. [...] 'If you look at that phony report that was put - in that report or the hydroxy was given to people that were an extraordinarily bad condition, extraordinary bad people that were dying. No, I think for whatever it's worth I take I was,' he said.

Evidence (2020-06-02): Biden, Trump’s presumptive Democratic challenger, has similarly seized on Trump’s remarks, calling his hydroxychloroquine advocacy "totally irresponsible" after the president announced he was taking the drug as a preventive measure. Democrats have also used the hydroxychloroquine controversy as a chance to attack Republicans for accepting campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, which faces record-low popularity after years of attacks from politicians in both parties over high drug prices. [...] But it’s not clear whether voters will penalize politicians for picking the other side. Whit Ayres, the president of the GOP-aligned polling firm North Star Opinion Research, cautioned that hydroxychloroquine might be "but a distant memory" come Election Day.

Evidence (2020-07-14): Donald Trump stated on June 7, 2020 in a tweet: Says Joe Biden wants to "defund the police." Donald Trump stated on May 19, 2020 in remarks to reporters at the Capitol: "If you look at the one (hydroxychloroquine) survey, the only bad survey, they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape. Donald Trump stated on May 11, 2020 in comments in the Rose Garden: "Germany and the United States are the two best in deaths per 100,000 people, which, frankly, to me, that's perhaps the most important number there is." Donald Trump stated on May 5, 2020 in an interview on ABC: Models projecting COVID-19 deaths "are talking about without mitigation." Donald Trump stated on May 3, 2020 in a Fox News virtual town hall: Says Joe Biden has "written a letter of apology" for calling Trump’s travel restrictions from China "xenophobic." Donald Trump stated on April 16, 2020 in a tweet: Says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deleted a video of her telling people to go to Chinatown.

Evidence (2023-09-19): - Trump insisted that there only has been one "bad survey" of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19. That’s false. Numerous studies, including the best evidence to date, do not suggest that hydroxychloroquine is beneficial for COVID-19 patients. [...] The following day, Trump made similar comments, although he didn’t specify the study. They were very old, almost dead," he said. "It was a ‘Trump enemy’ statement." [...] Trump, May 19: There was a false study done where they gave it to very sick people — extremely sick people, people that were ready to die. It was given by, obviously, not friends of the administration. And the study came out. The people were ready to die. Everybody was old, had bad problems with hearts, diabetes, and everything else you can imagine. So they gave it. So, immediately, when it came out, they gave a lot of false information, just so you understand.

Evidence (2020-05-26): Fact check: Trump says patients in 'bad' hydroxychloroquine study were 'almost dead' [...] "If you look at the one survey, the only bad survey, they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape," Trump said at a May 19 press event. It was a Trump enemy statement." [...] Trump spoke about "the one survey," a study of VA patients and hydroxychloroquine, and said it was "bad" because "they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape.

Evidence (2020-05-19): Almost dead," Trump said. He described the study as "a Trump-enemy statement." [...] "There was a false study done where they gave it to very sick people, extremely sick people, people that were ready to die," he said. "It was given by obviously not friends of the administration." He later added that it "was a phony study and it’s very dangerous to do it." [...] Another study, looking at more than 1,400 patients in New York, also determined that hydroxychloroquine had no significant effect on improving patients’ conditions. A study in Brazil found an associated increase in deaths from the use of chloroquine, a drug related to hydroxychloroquine. Late last month, the Food and Drug Administration warned against the use of the drugs outside of a clinical setting, given concerns about dangerous heart-related side effects. (Asked Tuesday about the FDA’s guidance about use in hospitals, Trump said that was "not what I was told.")

Evidence (2020-05-20): Mr Trump's revelation a day earlier that he was taking hydroxychloroquine caught many in his administration by surprise and set off an urgent effort by officials to justify his action. But their attempt to address the concerns of health professionals was undercut by the president himself. [...] That was an apparent reference to a study of hundreds of patients treated by the Department of Veterans Affairs in which more of those in a group who were administered hydroxychloroquine died than among those who weren't. Almost dead," Mr Trump said. "It was a Trump enemy statement." During a Cabinet meeting, he elicited a defense of his practice from other officials, including VA Secretary Robert Wilkie who noted that the study in question was not conducted by his agency.

Evidence (2020-05-22): First it was a study funded in part by his own government’s National Institutes of Health that raised alarms about the use of hydroxychloroquine, finding higher overall mortality in coronavirus patients who took the drug while in Veterans Administration hospitals. [...] They were very old, almost dead," Trump told reporters Tuesday. "It was a Trump enemy statement." [...] That veterans study, funded by grants from the NIH and the University of Virginia, was not a rigorous experiment, but a retrospective analysis by researchers at several universities looking at the impact of hydroxychloroquine in patients at veterans’ hospitals across the nation. It found no benefit and more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care alone. The work was posted online for researchers and has not been reviewed by other scientists.

Evidence (2020-05-22): Hydroxychloroquine tied to increased risk of death: Study [...] A similar analysis in the US found similar results. That study, funded in part by the US government’s National Institutes of Health, found higher overall mortality in coronavirus patients who took hydroxychloroquine while in Veterans Administration hospitals. It found no benefit and more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care alone. The work was posted online for researchers and has not been reviewed by other scientists.

Evidence (2020-05-19): Some officials worked to justify the president’s decision to take hydroxychloroquine, while other aides debated whether they needed to update government guidelines about the drug. [...] On Tuesday, Trump even dismissed one downbeat study about hydroxychloroquine as a "Trump enemy statement." The study, partially funded by the government and released in April, found hydroxychloroquine provided no benefit and led to a potentially higher risk of death for coronavirus patients at U.S. veterans hospitals. The research has not been peer reviewed and was not a clinical trial. [...] There’s no conclusive evidence that hydroxychloroquine is more effective in healthier patients, however.

Evidence (2022-01-09): RFK Jr. portrays Dr. Fauci as "cracking down on HCQ [hydrochloroquine] to keep case fatalities high." (Page 30.) Speaking of federal decisions not to authorize Hydroxychloroquine as a COVID treatment, he says: [...] The Real Anthony Fauci, p.19 [...] But then consider the horrific allegation itself — distorting research results so as to kill people so as to make other people want vaccines. As part of his case for the allegation, RFK Jr. zeros in on one of the clear failures of the research vetting process in 2020. An influential study in Lancet showed that hydrochloroquine was not clinically useful in COVID-19 treatment. However, it swiftly emerged that the study and another study on a different issue that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine were based on likely non-existent data from a bogus "big data" research company called Surgisphere. RFK Jr. reads the incident as proof of the power of the "cartel":

Evidence (2020-05-28): "This was a bad survey," Trump said. The drug has gotten a bad reputation only because I’m promoting it." [...] It may not have occurred to him that his action could be interpreted as a bad example for the minority of Americans who listen to him very carefully. Or maybe it did occur to him. Fortunately, he has not recommended that people take the drug he takes to stop his hair from falling out. Or the statin he takes to combat rosacea on his skin. He made the decision to take hydroxychloroquine based on his own gut feeling, plus the advice of Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity. It should be noted, however, that Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto, who has multiple sclerosis, warned his viewers against taking hydroxychloroquine and recently proclaimed on his show, "If you have pre-existing conditions, it will kill you! I cannot stress enough!"

Evidence (2020-05-19): Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday he's not taking hydroxychloroquine, an unproven treatment for COVID-19 that President Donald Trump has vigorously promoted and claims to be taking himself. [...] Experts say it can cause fatal heart arrhythmia. [...] In a statement Monday night, the doctor, Sean P. Conley, said, "After numerous discussions, he and I had for and against the use of hydroxychloroquine we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks." The statement does not explicitly say he prescribed the drug for the president.

Evidence (2024-01-02): Old people have falls. I had only just turned 52 one week before the September evening I collapsed. But the year from 51 to 52 had been a remarkably bad one. I gambled on a job I wanted, as the editor-in-chief of a small magazine, and it ran out of funding. I sent applications to other publications and got thoughtful rejections. I sent more applications, and they went unanswered. I made an appeal for paid subscriptions at a newsletter I’d been writing. Its revenue flattened out at about 20 percent of my share of our living expenses. The household finances began to drain.

During a Cabinet meeting, he elicited a defense of his practice from other officials, including VA Secretary David Wilkie who noted that the study in question was not conducted by his agency. [...] As research started to emerge that hydroxychloroquine was not helpful, and even potentially harmful, in battling COVID-19, the president’s public rhetoric in support of the drug had faded. But his private hopes had not, according to three White House officials and Republicans close to the White House not authorized to speak publicly about private discussions.

Evidence (2020-05-19): Vice President Mike Pence says he is not preemptively taking the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to ward off COVID-19 like President Donald Trump because his doctor does not recommend using the drug. [...] In April, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned the public to not take the drug outside of a hospital setting, noting that it could cause "potentially life-threatening heart rhythm problems " and had "not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19." [...] Recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine also found that hydroxychloroquine had no statistically significant effect on the virus, with one noting that it could increase the risk of patients suffering heart attacks.

Everybody was old had bad problems with hearts diabetes and everything else you can imagine," Trump said, before having Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie weigh in. [...] "Well, I work with doctors, and if you look at the one survey, the only bad survey, they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape. It was a Trump enemy statement," the president said, speaking of a retrospective, non-peer reviewed study of veterans hospitalized through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which found hydroxychloroquine associated with an increase of overall mortality in COVID-19 patients. [...] The analysis Trump mentioned, which he has called the "only negative" to the drug, was published on medRxiv and analyzed 368 male patients with a median age over 65 in the VA health system diagnosed with COVID-19.
