The source of the hopes for a coronavirus cure should raise a lot of red flags.
President Donald Trump’s daily press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic has been compared to many things: state propaganda, daily talk show, three-ring circus. It is somehow all of these things, but it is also something else: an infomercial. For the past two weeks, the president has been hawking a miracle cure: the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. He has hailed it as “very encouraging,” a “phenomenal drug,” and “the biggest game changer in the history of medicine.” Trump has also portrayed it as a Hail Mary: “What do we have to lose? I feel very good about it.”...

In a sane world theee would be a price to pay for this kind of behavior.
“Hype?”. Oh, slate. com. No H8 slate.
People will die because these bastards are still playing “get Trump.”
I used to think the Press being the enemy of the people was an over the top hyperbole for a partisan press. Now? Nope, Trump was right, it is dead on accurate.
Orange cure bad.
I want to see how many will refuse treatment just because Orangemanbad. Would they rather cough themselves to death as the ultimate virtue signalling instead of taking Doctor Trump’s Miracle Cure?
I’m beginning to suspect that it’s not just their TDS, but it’s them just cutting and pasting what their Chicom masters give them to print.
They keep trying, don’t they?
Even after more and more reports that the treatment at least helps.
And what really ticks them off is that the Trumpster keeps “trumping” their poor little small-brained carcases.
Oh well, this is what we expect of folks who never actually encountered difficult ideas in high school or college.
Slate - a blank one.
Do we really believe that the Deep State is only in DOJ, FBI, and State? Or do we acknowledge that the IRS,FDA, CDC, NPR, etc have also been weaponized.
Easy solution: give the drug only to Trump supporters.
Another leftist news organization against Trump and against a cure.
Color me surprised.
“Hype” I hate these creeps.
Orange Cure Bad.
It is truly incredible. You almost have to conclude they want the disease to win. It’s also dismaying that they spend very little time looking at the data that is out there about Chloroquine and Azythromycin. It’s not a perfect study but we don’t have time for that. But what we are seeing is that it seems to work really well to defeat the virus among those infected. And works much better than standard of care. The first official publication from Dr. Raoult was March 17 - and it showed a huge improvement by day 3, with a 1:10,000 chance of the odds being random. But he (and the FDA and CDC) knew the data even before it was published.
Since that time we have even more data.
For the people who want to look at the political angle on this they may not be so happy. If this does happen to be the miracle we’ve been looking for, Trump gets to claim credit for pushing for its use weeks ago, and to blame the bureaucrats who delayed it and the governors who have banned its use (which is also just totally jaw-droppingly cruel and bone-headed).
“The red flag I’m seeing is WTF is wrong with these pro-death media folks?”
Global warming activists who believe the planet is overcrowded.
Slate is not worth reading unless the reader is studying to be a moron.
But what about the good New York Jewish Doctor taking care of the Hasidic community?
Dr. Zelenko has treated 699 patients successfully for coronavirus (positive for both SARS-COV-2 and covid-19) using Chloroquine, Zinc and Z-PAK.
