… conference despite knowledge that it was effective - and he would do so again.It's even worse than that. On April 4th, 2020, during a Saturday meeting of the Covid task force, Fauci and Navarro sparred over the promotion of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid.

Fauci had already disparaged the use of hydroxychloroquine during a March 20th press… https://t.co/Ra7LTggk56
According to accounts of the meeting Navarro began passing out studies touting the drug’s effectiveness. Fauci pushed back, claiming there was only anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine worked against the coronavirus. Things got contentious.
Navarro was right. And Fauci was later proven wrong. Even the NIH now admits that hydroxychloroquine can be effective as a treatment for Covid. But that didn’t stop the media from ridiculing Trump at the time - even as Fauci actively undercut him.
On Monday, April 6th, following the confrontation with Fauci, Navarro’s earlier memos were suddenly leaked to both Axios and the New York Times - and were portrayed as warnings that Trump ignored.
Unfortunately for Trump, Navarro’s memos had been held at the National Security Council level and never made their way to Trump.
Simultaneously with the memo leak, the Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services abruptly issued an unexpected report that described a dire situation for hospitals, front-line doctors and medical staff.
This report had an obvious target. Peter Navarro, who had recently assumed responsibility for supply chain issues within the medical system. The timing of these events - coming directly after Fauci’s confrontation with Navarro - raise obvious questions as to their source.
It was almost certainly Fauci who either leaked Navarro's memos or directed the leak.
