Laura Ingraham: Media ‘Continue Bizarre Assault on Decades-Old Drug Used Worldwide…to Treat COVID Patients’

CNS: Media are vilifying a drug President Donald Trump is suggesting might be an effective treatment for coronavirus – even though it’s been around for decades and is currently being used worldwide to treat coronavirus patients – because media have put political interests ahead of American lives, Fox News Host Laura Ingraham says.

The drug, hydroxychloroquine is “especially seeing promise in early intervention” against coronavirus, Ingraham said on Monday’s episode of “The Ingraham Angle”:

“Some in the media and the medical establishment, as I mentioned to Sean (Hannity), continue this bizarre assault on the decades-old drug hydroxychloroquine that’s being used by doctors worldwide – I mean worldwide – to treat COVID patients, especially seeing promise in early intervention.”

“To get a sense of how political the criticism has become, check this out,” Ingraham said, playing a video clip of a doctor being interviewed on CNN by Host Wolf Blitzer. The doctor argues that the U.S. is too busy trying to save lives from the coronavirus that it’s ignoring social issues. read more

  1. Is it just me or…? Here’s the deal in it’s fundamental nutshell: The mainstream media is simply a money-making enterprise whose primary product is entertainment. If the buyers want a “Jerry Springer” experience, they give them that. If they want an “Oprah” experience, they give them that, too. If buyers’ suddenly want the “Carl Sagan” or “PBS Frontline (light)” edition, that’s fine too! It’s just like fast food. A hamburger is a type of fast food sandwich that people can drive past a restaurant and order. But a hamburger has only a few components that make it a hamburger: a bun and a burger patty. That’s it! Mainstream media offers the basic burger, then they compete with each other over garnishes and condiments. That’s why, on any given day, you get the basic components over and over again. They’re called “talking points”. That’s pretty boring after a while, so people flip through mainstream’s channels looking for a variety of garnish and condiments. And no matter how it’s served up, it’s always just a boring hamburger.

    This is not about the merits of hydroxycholorquine. It’s about a bunch of idiot media talking heads who have lived such insular lives they think the watching audience are people just like themselves who would be entertained just as they would be. They should bring back Nielsen ratings.

  2. I saw last night a report that Sweden has halted use of chloroquine for CV due to a couple of side effects in a few patients. Surely the side effects are well-known by now and the drug would not be approved at all if its side effects were severe and frequent.

  4. ” … brought to a standstill by a bad case of the flu … ”

    Not even a bad case of it if you run the numbers and look at them as percents or per capita’s instead of the much scarier sounding raw numbers that are the only thing being used in the media. (most people don’t know how to do basic math, or how to use it to analyze the world around them if they do)

  5. The left is so anti Trump that they are resisting using or at least promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine because the President came out early promoting it as a promising drug. You see they would rather hundreds of thousands of Americans die to spite Trump!
