The Mayo Clinic recently admitted on their website that “Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.”

Their site was updated with the new endorsement on Sunday.

However less than 48 hours later, the page has been replaced with a statement that reads “Hydroxychloroquine is not recommended as a treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ”

TGP reports: The updated web page goes on to state “Also, hydroxychloroquine doesn’t prevent infection with the virus that causes COVID-19.”

The information listed on the website at the time of his post was then picked up by others on social media.
