The mysterious case of the people who ate fish tank cleaner to protect against Covid-19
American Thinker ^ | 04/01/2020 | Andrea Widburg

Shortly after President Trump touted chloroquine as a potential cure for COVID-19, the media triumphantly reported that a man died from taking homemade chloroquine due to Trump’s recommendation. It turned out that the man’s wife fed him some fish tank cleaner. She even partook of it with him, except that he died while she didn’t. As a dedicated murder mystery reader, I didn’t blame Trump. My suspicions were focused elsewhere. It turns out my instincts may have been right on the money. Here’s the story the drive-by media didn't tell you:

On March 20, President Trump expressed his hope that chloroquine (also prescribed as hydroxychloroquine) might be an effective way to treat COVID-19, especially when used in conjunction with Azithromycin, an antibiotic. The next day, he reiterated that hope in a tweet.

Two days later, Axios reported, “Man dies after self-medicating with chloroquine phosphate.” Axios articles have bullet points to guide readers. In the case of what was a brief, and seemingly bizarre, news squiblet, the bullet points said “Why it matters,” “Worth noting,” and “Go deeper.” That last bullet point led readers to an article entitled “Trump touts drugs not yet approved by FDA for treating coronavirus.” The reader could almost hear the Axios editors adding, “hint,  hint.”

Sure enough, by March 24, the narrative was in place. President Trump was responsible for killing a man and almost killing a woman. Indeed, these narratives were not subtle. This NPR tweet is a stand-in for what all the media outlets were doing:

An Arizona man is died of a heart attack and his wife was hospitalized after the couple ingested a type of chloroquine, a chemical that has been hailed recently by President Trump as a possible "game changer"

“MAYBE she KILLED him with it and took a small amount just to get sick!”

That is what it is beginning to look like.

A lie goes around the world before the truth can get its pants on.

“After.”

Having been down that road once, many years ago, I could see it going either way.

Fortunately, my second marriage was more harmonious and longer lasting than the first.

Still leaves out the part that these two are registered demsheviks and have donated to numerous demshevik causes and campaigns.

Forensic Files had an episode where a wife poisoned some capsules in various bottle at a supermarket, then killed her husband with the same poison.

The forensics people checked his meds, found one of the capsules and analyzed it. They found some strange green flecks in it and did some further analysis. Turned out to be from a fish cleaner that his wife had ground up and mixed the the meds - they even found the pestle and grinder flecked with the stuff.

Turns out she wanted some others to die and make it look like a madman was poisoning the public aka the 1982 Tylenol murders and her husband was an inadvertent victim.

The gal got 90 years.

I just found a thumbnail here:
