Steven J. Hatfill, a virologist who promoted hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as an effective early treatment for COVID-19, now holds the top pandemic prevention position in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), according to The Washington Post.
On Monday, Hatfill, a White House adviser during President Donald Trump’s first term, began his second week as a special adviser in the director’s office of Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), the Post reported.
HHS didn’t immediately respond when The Defender asked how Hatfill was appointed to the role.
In an interview with the Post, Hatfill defended his views on HCQ, saying that 5,000 controlled, randomized, peer-reviewed studies attest to the drug’s safety and effectiveness when administered early in the course of the disease and at the proper dosage.
“They gave the drug to the president,” Hatfill said, referring to when Trump took the drug in 2020 while sick with COVID-19. “It is a safe drug.”
