OK, but that's not what the article is about.
Edit: Trump is mistaken about the process of authorisation. The various bits of the health service in the US can prescribe Chloroquine (big C, the actual FDA approved Drug, not pool cleaner, in the amounts that won't kill you) as a special intervention for patients with C19 symptoms.
It's also under test to see if there is mileage in authorising it as routine intervention for C19.
So people were going to hear about this, Trump or not. And then, unfortunately, they will find out that it's also an active ingredient in pool cleaner that can be bought from a hardware store and... you get the idea.
So it's pinned on Trump because he's an easy target. Had a medical professional stood up and said 'yeah we are testing this stuff as a potential routine treatment for C19 and in some circumstances we might use it now' and a bunch of people gone out an bought the agricultural formulation and then died, I suspect a lot of people would be like 'lol, idiots' rather than 'It's Trump's fault'

Chloroquine phosphate in aquarium cleaner with various other ingredients does not equal the chloroquine formula in antimalarials.
Come on. If people are so stupid to conflate these then that's Darwinism-there's been public info about chloroquine treatment for Covid well before Trump crack handedly "announced" it.

If Trump had not lied about the drug, would several people around the world have overdosed on it? I think not.
