Misleading Virus Video, Pushed by the Trumps, Spreads Online (New York Times)
The New York Times ^ | July 28, 2020 | Sheera Frankel

Posted on 07/29/2020 9:30:54 PM PDT by Morpheus2009

In a video posted Monday online, a group of people calling themselves “America’s Frontline Doctors” and wearing white medical coats spoke against the backdrop of the Supreme Court in Washington, sharing misleading claims about the virus, including that hydroxychloroquine was an effective coronavirus treatment and that masks did not slow the spread of the virus.

The video did not appear to be anything special. But within six hours, President Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. had tweeted versions of it, and the right-wing news site Breitbart had shared it. It went viral, shared largely through Facebook groups dedicated to anti-vaccination movements and conspiracy theories such as QAnon, racking up tens of millions of views. Multiple versions of the video were uploaded to YouTube, and links were shared through Twitter.

The best thing that happened to the video was when Twitter deleted it on Trump’s tweet. Since then the video has racked up huge numbers on other video download sites. Plus the doctors have even met VP Pence and appeared on Fox.
Thanks Twitter and drop dead.

The NYT says that dextromorphan is also cheap and can work.

I don’t feel that the lady from Nigeria was a good person to deliver the point. The researcher from Yale speaks it more reasonably.

The main point from the article is the one lady from Nigeria is superstitious and nonscientific and not credible as a result.

“Thank you. Yes, Harvey Risch sounds pretty reasonable.”

Yup. And if you’re a shoot the messenger type, the top Doc at Yale, writing in Newsweek won’t be a good target.
The quickly assembled group, on the other hand, that made the video makes for a much better target, as it’s a bit dicey.

The only tiny problem being that 44 out of 50 states have restrictions on HCQ.

She does sound a bit wacko, but when/if I take on a load of CV2 I’m going to insist on the HCQ/Zn.

Misleading? Hardly. I have watched the entire video and can’t see anything misleading about it whatsoever. Again, misleading? They wish.

The MSM is commited to downplaying and denying any positive HCQ results if it kills you and me. If they had the virus they would take HCQ in a heartbeat.

The NYT has not shown that it is disproven.

They have NO scientific basis to disprove the Zn disrupts the virus replication theory of treatment.

NO “Science” to back up their position.
