Bloomberg is getting obliterated online for a ridiculous headline that tries to panic people about a drug just because Trump said it might be a good thing. This tweet basically sums it up:
If Trump likes it, we're going to make sure you're scared of it. https://t.co/Lb1RlbnDsO

The point is that the headline makes you think there’s some kind of danger to the drug, and then associates it with Trump, as if he shouldn’t have touted it. Because pharmacists can’t figure out NOT to poison people? I guess? Yeah, utterly stupid.
This story is absolutely ridiculous/a strawman. Nobody is prescribing patients 2000mg of chloroquine. https://t.co/tiXgGSc3tj

85 years. It's been in use for 85 years. It's on WHOs list of essential medicine. You're not breaking any news here and you're not helping. Hack journalism needs to be a casualty.https://t.co/yhuRRm39SG

This story must be generating some sweet hate-traffic to still be up. It has to be the dumbest attack on Trump ever published, and there’s a lot of competition https://t.co/SxivKEhOGO

Totally stupid. And I think I found out WHY they published it – so that China could use it in their propaganda:
A drug that was touted by Donald Trump as a possible coronavirus treatment can kill in dosages as little as two grams https://t.co/TcO3Kvszcd

SO ridiculous. As I said on Twitter, I used to wonder how it is that the media would cover up the deaths in the Soviet Union without anyone calling them out a hundred years ago. Seeing how the media acts now with a literally totalitarian communist regime that sends Muslims to concentration camps, I now know how it happened…
