. >> joining me now to discuss, cnn chief media correspondent brian stelter and cardiologist dr. jonathan rider. doctor, i want to start with you and about this study. now, this is one study, and if my understanding is right, it has not been peer reviewed, but if nothing else, it should tell us, we should not try to play doctor on tv, whether we're the president of the united states or we work at another network, that we should wait and study data. bhas your takeaway from what you have seen? >> well, the problem is that we don't have randomized clinical trial data. this country has a long history of approving drugs only when the data that comes from trials which are designed in very careful ways to provide reliable information show that there is substantial evidence of both safety and efficacy. and we don't have it for this drug. look, i desperately want this drug to work. it would be fabulous. and the president, obviously, is interested in a quick fix here. but medicine doesn't lend itself to quick fixes. we rely on data. and data where we randomize people to either receive a pl

but the growing number of widows indicates otherwise. >> brian stelter joins me now. brian, thanks for joining us. this is not just pro-trump propaganda. this is, actually, affecting public health. >> and that's what makes this case different than all the other stories we have covered in the past three years. there's always been this propaganda machine designed to promote the president, at all costs. the difference, this time, is that the cost is measured in human lives. >> many on the right are claiming that the government is mislabeling every death as a covid death now. why don't they want to accept reality? >> that is the newest conspiracy theory that i am seeing, don. it's this attempt to say things aren't really that bad. the government's trying to lump every death, even something from heart disease or other sorts of illnesses, as a coronavirus death. that's the new claim coming from right-wing conspiracy theorists. they are trying, at all costs, to say the death toll can't possibly be this bad because they are trying to run defense for the president. they're not
