The author of the article links to a very short extract in which Fauci was asked whether if a patient wanted to try hydroxychloroquine he would prescribe it, and he said he would because it had been approved for other conditions and could be prescribed in an "off-label" way at the discretion of a doctor. But the extract omits the preceding section, in which he made it clear that while it might work, the evidence was only anecdotal, not scientific. He said it needed to be properly tested.
Here is the full interview (relevant section begins at 07:27):
He’s the Director at the National Institute for Health and is the leading medical voice on the White House’s Coronavirus Taskforce. Stigall asks him about his relationship with President Trump and if there’s any truth to the new reports there’s a rift between them. What are his thoughts about a promising new drug cocktail to treat symptoms of COVID-19? Does he think the media is covering this virus and our national response to it fairly? Plus, Stigall does a lightning round of listener submitted questions.
