GUPTA: No, Chuck. I thought that was reprehensible attack on the WHO to scapegoat them. And it's really unfair. I feel -- I have a lot of colleagues at the WHO, and I feel for their senior leadership, because I thought this was an unfair attack. Here is the truth, and I'll do by best to disseminate it, and thank you for asking the question. There is something called the contingency fund for emergencies. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent, it's called the CFE. The WHO Relies on this funding mechanism to finance epidemics before they become international emergencies. Guess what our total allocations to this fund have been in the last three years? Zero dollars. So this notion that the WHO hasn't been a willing partner, they've dropped the ball is completely irresponsible as a comment. We haven't done our part to adequately fund preparedness and global health security. The president fired all the experts in global health security a few years ago. So he is trying to lay blame elsewhere because the fact is our response has been dysfunctional.

TODD: Dr. Roy, I would like you to -- there was another thing he said about, as he was getting very specific about the use of hydroxychloroquine and that the side effects, all the negative side effects are due to the Z-pak, not the hydroxychloroquine. Can you bring some clarity to that? It's been very hard to sort of digest exactly what the president is claiming here with this therapeutic.

ROY: Chuck, I have to tell you, sitting here as a licensed physician, listening to a politician with zero medical training talk to the public about medications, their side effects, their clinical indications was frankly cringeworthy. And I say this because there is nothing that we do in medicine that doesn't have some potential harm. Everything we do in medicine is a trade-off. Even a baby aspirin, which is known as a fairly benign over-the-counter medication which is known to reduce heart attacks can also have this adverse effect of causing brain hemorrhage. Again, very rare. But the point I'm making is everything we do in medicine has to be carefully weighed, the pros and cons. Hydroxychloroquine, we know for a fact is not FDA approved to treat people with coronavirus infection. Every single medical professional, public health professional has pretty much said this. We need the wait for studies to come out to unequivocally show hydroxychloroquine can work. For him to say yeah, let's take it, let's just try it is frankly harmful.

TODD: I was going to say he addressed the fact well, if you're going to die without it, why not try?

ROY: I'm beyond words. I think it's just reckless to say that. Look, I think it's very reasonable for the reporters there to be asking these medical questions, but for Gods sake, please No, chuck. I thought that was reprehensible attack on the w.h.o. To scapegoat them. And it's really unfair.

I'm beyond words. I think it's just reckless to say that. Look, I think it's very reasonable for the reporters there to be asking these medical questions, but for God sakes, please allow the medical people to field those questions. That's all I ask.. That's all I ask.
