He went on to say that his doctor prescribes a “drug cocktail.”

“It consisted of Tamiflu, which is an antiviral, the antibiotic Azithromycin, more commonly known as a Z-Pac, a Glycopyrrolate inhaler, and that was used to ease breathing and the inflammation that’s commonly associated with COVID,” Kim said. “And here’s what I consider to be the secret weapon, Hydroxychloroquine.”

“This is a common antimalarial drug that has been used with great success in Korea in their fight against the coronavirus,” he said. “And, yes, this is the drug the president mentioned the other day.”

Ever cautious, Kim stressed that he wasn’t saying others should use these drugs, but added that he is certain that they played a “crucial” role in his recovery.

This is, of course, the treatment plan that President Trump was much-mocked for the other day:

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)…..

.@NYGovCuomo just announced that trial of (hydroxy)chloroquine and azithromycin will begin in New York on Tuesday. Excellent news. Let's try a promising regimen to blunt the impact of Covid-19, save lives–clinician discretion, data, scientific approach crucial.

So, when will they be apologizing to the president?

Wait a minute, yesterday I was told that talking about this was irresponsible and dangerous. https://t.co/WdaZCeXVrm

I'm old enough to remember when the President was criticized for suggesting that these exact drugs could possibly be used for treatment.

So are 99.999% of people alive right now because that was yesterday. https://t.co/uOXIqCJ7oG
