The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly deleted large chunks of its guidelines on hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, two anti-malaria drugs President Donald Trump has claimed to be potentially effective treatment for COVID-19 (they have not been proven to treat the virus).
Eli Lee, a researcher at the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) watchdog organization, flagged on Tuesday that the CDCs advisory on coronavirus treatment no longer includes details of how some U.S. clinicians have reported anecdotally different hydroxychloroquine dosing, and that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are reportedly well-tolerated in COVID-19 patients.
The site also previously stated that the two drugs are currently recommended for treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in several countries.
The advisory did not provide any sources or names in those anecdotes.
