WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)A new test of the drug hydroxychloroquine suggests that it may cause delusions, Dr. Anthony Fauci warned on Monday.
In a conference call with reporters, Fauci indicated that his findings were based on a preliminary test involving one white male subject in his seventies.
Its too early to be definitive about this, but the evidence suggests that, if you are already prone to delusions, paranoid fantasies, and a generalized detachment from reality, taking hydroxychloroquine may only make those symptoms worse, he said.
Fauci said that, if someone you know is taking hydroxychloroquine, Broach the subject with him very carefully and diplomatically. Based on my findings, this person will not like being contradicted and is likely to fly off the handle.
Additionally, because of the mind-altering effects of the drug, Its important never to do what someone taking hydroxychloroquine tells you to do, Fauci said.
The only thing as dangerous as taking hydroxychloroquine is listening to someone who is taking hydroxychloroquine, he said. Therein lies the road to madness.
