Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto urged the network's viewers not to follow President Donald Trump's example and take an anti-malaria drug as a protection against the coronavirus. Trump had revealed at a news conference that he had been taking the drug hydroxychloroquine to ward off the virus, despite the warnings of medical researchers that it has potentially fatal side effects. Cavuto, who has multiple sclerosis and other health issues, says people in vulnerable health should not follow the president's example. Trump complained on Twitter Monday night that Fox News “is no longer the same.”
