WHO study finds no COVID-19 magic bullet in remdesivir or hydroxychloroquine

A WHO study has shown that some of the most high-profile drugs during the COVID-19 pandemic - and in some cases touted by US President Trump - have little to no effect on coronavirus, casting doubt on co-called "miracle treatments" like hydroxychloroquine. The six month study coordinated by the World Health Organization examined the potential impact of treatments like remdesivir and interferon, which have been repurposed from their normal use in the hope of controlling COVID-19.
