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.

But to the mob, saying that people are superstitious proves it.

I know that’s a fallacy BTW.

Many people are on ACE2 inhibitors for high blood pressure. I wonder how they affect a person’s susceptibility to Covid19?

Seems like being against HCQ at this point is the very definition of being superstitious.

They have no theoretical/causality basis for their position.

“My relative was finally given the hydroxychloroquine cocktail plus a steroid nebulizer. Within 1 day fever, diarrhea and nausea was gone. Within 2 days, oxygen level was increased by 10%. After 1 week on the treatment they were back to normal.”


Come on man, who are you going to believe, the New York Times or your lying eyes?

The paper of Walter Duranty had standards?

Well, you have to remember, a superstitious person has no credibility.

On a better note, why wasn’t Harvey Yisch ever contacted.

According to the New York Times, millions of downloads were made. I don’t know if bitchute still has the video.

I wonder if it’s a offense before God to lie about having Lupus then.

I thought it was 52. I don’t know how that’s even possible, even if you included sex chromosome disorders including Turner’s Syndrome and Klinefelter’s syndrome as separate gender classifications.

They also took down their website within a couple hours.

But the videos & much more are available in Parler. Look up @AmericasFrontlineDoctors.

My brother caught the virus, and his wife didn’t.

She takes hydroxychloroquine for rheumatoid arthritis.

The NYT can go pound sand.

Can you post the list, with what restrictions there are?

But people who have taken HCQ for years are getting blocked by their pharmacies, demanding their doctors call and explain why they are being prescribed. My wife has been taking it for years and suddenly she is being questioned.

I know CVS & Walgreens are doing this, despite HIPPA violations.

The dufus medical pharmacy profession in Ohio has once again denied the use of hydrochlorqine for use by doctors. Guess they have once again been bought off by big pharma and the commie left democrats. I hope these aholes rot in hell and take Dewine with them for letting them do this.
