Maybe it was the same people that told Emanuel Macron that hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin was a promising treatment. You can't act like Trump is the only leader who talked about it. Macron went further than that, spending three hours talking to the researcher who proposed using it.

Macron went and spoke with the researcher to gain additional information. I don't see anything wrong with that. After meeting with the researcher, he did not go on social media and encourage its widespread use. Trump has taken a very different approach. Trump has prevented a doctor from responding to questions about its use. Trump was actively saying we have no time for tests, lets just use it. It appears he also fired the director of the US health department’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority for not endorsing its use. To say that meeting with a researcher to gather information is going further than publicly shilling for its use and cracking down on those in his administration who don't advocate for it is going further is very much not accurate.

Compare these two statement. Which one sounds like a cautious and sensible approach to a combination of drugs which have not yet been approved for use against a novel virus? "Asked about the report, the presidential adviser said Macron had taken note of a certain number of elements presented by the professor and would give it careful consideration, in particular at a meeting with his scientific advisory panel. Macron has yet to publicly share his opinion on the controversy." https://www.france24.com/en/20200409-macron-visits-marseille-doctor-behind-virus-cure-touted-by-trump https://www.france24.com/en/20200409-macron-visits-marseille... Trump said: "HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents)....."
