This is quite a thread. If you needed evidence that the MSM is up-to-their-necks in deceit and sheer lunacy, here is one example. Recently a new study out of the Henry Ford Health System found that Hydroxychloroquine significantly dropped the death rate in coronavirus patients.
More than twenty-six percent (26.4%) of patients who did not receive hydroxychloroquine died. But among those who received hydroxychloroquine, fewer than half that number — 13% — died.
CNN is suddenly shocked that it works. Drew Holden collected a number of the rants from the left demonizing a drug that saves lives. Along with the nursing home patients that Andrew Cuomo and other blue state governors killed, we wonder how many people died because of their bad information driven by politics and abject hatred.

The only reason today’s news about hydroxychloroquine is so “surprising” is that the media spent months telling us it was deadly to score points against Trump.
Amazing that @CNN is only interested in tying hydroxychloroquine to @realDonaldTrump when it doesn’t work. pic.twitter.com/5cuRwrk8kQ

And @maddow, who rarely sees a conspiracy that she isn’t interested in signing up for as long as it paints President Trump in a negative light. pic.twitter.com/HlF9LpyKFc

@ABC getting in on the act.
Think we’ll be getting more questions from the White House correspondents on this matter?

In case the take away here isn’t obvious: the media doesn’t know much of anything about medicine, tech, health care, etc. These are hard, weighty topics, so that’s okay. But maybe we should stop using them as a basis to attack a potential cure for a deadly pandemic.
