Rep. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) revealed that he and his entire family are taking the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine “prophylactically” to ward off the coronavirus despite limited evidence from the medical community.
Marshall, an obstetrician who is running in the state’s heated Republican primary for an open Senate seat, told the Wall Street Journal that he was “relieved” to hear President Trump has also decided to take the drug as a preventative measure.
“I would encourage any person over the age of 65 or with an underlying medical condition to talk to their own physician about taking hydroxychloroquine and I’m relieved President Trump is taking it,” he said.
The president disclosed Monday that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine, a controversial drug that he’s championed as a potential treatment for coronavirus, for about a week and a half.
