It’s weird that we’re still talking about that silly virus this week, but here we are! (Italy says the virus has all but vanished now that they’ve entered the warm month of June and a lot of places in the US are starting to say the same thing.)
The big news this week, however, has been about a sketchy study that found that hydroxychloroquine is probably poison and you shouldn’t take it.
President Trump touted the benefits of this anti-malarial drug that’s been on the market for longer than most Americans have been alive. But the fake news media desperately needs Trump to be wrong on everything. When this new study came out saying that hydroxychloroquine is potentially unsafe, the press was all over it.
The message was clear: “Don’t believe Trump. If you have the virus and ask your doctor about hydroxychloroquine, you are sealing your own doom. Trump wants you to die from taking a quack cure!”
Even the fact that Trump took a two-week course of hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic against the virus and emerged safe on the other side drove the media nuts. “We could have ended up with President Mike Pence over that reckless Trump’s reliance on witch doctoring! What’s next?! Will Trump tell us all to bleed ourselves with leeches?”
In a surprise twist that won’t actually surprise anyone, the study that found hydroxychloroquine to be “dangerous” turns out to have a few… shall we say… “minor problems” with it.
Are you surprised? Well, even if you’re not surprised, check out this video to see how that study has now been filled with holes.
