Florida man whose 'game changer' coronavirus treatment was touted by Trump is a believer
It’s been less than a week since Rio Giardinieri claimed his coronavirus was cured overnight by an anti-malaria drug touted by President Trump and by Fox News, and he has no complaints.
“Man, I’m alive and kickin’,” Giardinieri told Yahoo News over the phone on Wednesday. “Feeling good.”
The 52-year-old said he was finally able to return to his home in Miami Shores Tuesday night, after being hospitalized for coronavirus and pneumonia for about a week.
The story of Giardinieri’s remarkable recovery, which was first reported Monday by a local Fox affiliate in Los Angeles, quickly became the subject of national news — and speculation — after it was picked up by the New York Post and tweeted by President Trump, who hailed the news as a “great early result” from the drug, which has yet to be approved as a treatment for coronavirus.
