The CIA website geared toward employee information and awareness in late March addressed media reports which touted in line with the president that the drug “has activity against the COVID-19 virus.”

But the CIA directive continued:

“At this point, the drug is not recommended to be used by patients except by medical professionals prescribing it as part of ongoing investigational studies. There are potentially significant side effects, including sudden cardiac death, associated with hydroxychloroquine and its individual use in patients need to be carefully selected and monitored by a health care professional,” the answer said, before adding in bold type: “Please do not obtain this medication on your own.”

The internal workforce communications were not meant to be made public and reportedly came in response to specific CIA employee inquiries made to supervisors.
