Twitter on Monday morning deleted Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s viral tweet posted earlier this month touting the drug hydroxychloroquine as having been used by one New York hospital to “very promising results” and claiming that one “seriously ill” patient had a Lazarus-like recovery from the coronavirus thanks to it.
On two consecutive nights earlier this month, Ingraham hosted an oncologist she described as being “with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City” to promote the anti-malaria drug that President Donald Trump has peddled as a “game changer” in treating COVID-19.
The primetime cable star repeatedly touted the doctor’s credentials and purported findings on the drug’s effectiveness, later repeating his claims to other TV guests and on social media. But, as it turns out, the doctor is not at all employed by Lenox Hill.
On her March 19 show, when Ingraham first interviewed that oncologist, Dr. William Grace, he claimed that, thanks to hydroxychloroquine, “we have not had a death in our hospital. We have probably close to a 100 patients, and not had any deaths.” And during a later segment with a different doctor, Ingraham referred back to Grace’s claims about Lenox Hill, adding that he told her about one near-death individual at the hospital who was miraculously saved by the drug.
“One patient was described as Lazarus getting up after—after he was, he was like on death’s door,” she breathlessly exclaimed. “And they started getting a protocol of hydroxychloroquine at Lenox Hill, and it suddenly like Lazarus, up from the grave. I mean that’s an actual case.”
Ingraham was so impressed by that anecdote that she tweeted about it the next morning. “Lenox Hill in New York among many hospitals already using Hydroxychloroquine with very promising results,” Ingraham wrote on March 20.

That is the case, and the twitter people should restore the post and apologize to Laura. Laura was not wrong and there was plenty of evidence weeks ago that this drug combination was working better than the standard of care. Trump was promoting it weeks ago as well.
I concede, it may be too soon to really know for certain, but the data we have from several NY doctors and the French doctor is truly remarkable. And based on those data the FDA finally agreed.

Yeah nobody works for anybody directly any more, it seems like!
As you say, this is a distinction without a difference and a weak attempt to stop a pandemic. Shameful.
Does this mean he can go to the hospital to treat his patients?
Yes he is a private physician either self-employed or employed by a physician group that covers patient's at the hospital. While he is not paid directly as an employee, the hospital makes money off of the patients he admits there.
Many times the physician group has a contract with a major insurance company to cover their patients. In some cases the Doctor is an employee of a group who has a contract with the hospital to provide physician services inside the hospital. In this type of case the Doctor is technically not employed directly by the hospital but is a contractor inside the hospital.
In New York it is very possible that he has a private practice and admits and sees his own patients while they are in the hospital.
MUST INCLUDE ZINC!
ZINC is the cure, Hydroxychloroquine is the “vehicle” and azithromycin (the LEAST important part) is to help prevent OTHER “BACTERIAL” (NOT viral) infections.
So, “ZINC” is the “miracle” cure. Hydroxychloroquine just lets Zinc do its job far better.
No, I’m not a doctor and I don’t play one on the Internet, BUT Dr. Vladimir Zelenko is and does.

Twitter trying to make sure Trump gets Zero Credit for pushing Hydroxychloroquine unless some fool drinks aquarium cleaner and dies. I’ve been on Twitter for years, the shadow banning & censorship is at an all time high. All the trending is anti Trump garbage. Laura Ingraham can be annoying like Ann Colter at times being critical of Trump. She criticized Trump last night on Twitter when he extended advisory till April 30, saying his message is confused..
Correct!
Back when there were 3 television networks, I remember ABC News with Frank Reynolds tell me eating Carmel causes premature aging.
Swear to God.
eating Carmel or smoking Camels?
Yes. Laura does not have what you’d call a warm personality. Although her lno-frills attitude will come in handy tonight when she goes off on the deranged behavior of the leftwing media’s opposition to Hydroxycloroquine.
He works there nonetheless, his comments should be considered as authentic as all these others who are posting that their hospitals are being over run etc.
Another site which is much much nastier is mobileread.com.
This site has a history of suspending or banning users for... flagging a political topic for movement to the political discussion forums.
Looks like twatter has a “get Trump” department, which maintains the database of things you are not allowed to say.
Twitter's just complying with DNC talking points, what's the problem?
