Bloomberg ‘News’ gets slammed for false headline about deadly chloroquine

Chloroquine

Bloomberg put up a false headline titled, Virus Drug Touted by Trump, Musk Can Kill With Just Two Gram Dose, saying China reports chloroquine kills with just two grams. The dosage is milligrams, not grams, but they left that out of their story. Instead, they claimed it’s a killer, tying it to the President and Elon Musk, who they never forgave for donating to House Republicans years back.

The President has been trying to cheer Americans up as he should by explaining there are really positive results to report on the use of the drug chloroquine with coronavirus patients.

The drug is approved in the United States for malaria and rheumatoid arthritis, but Bloomberg kept quoting the scare tactics from China, saying it’s not approved here. It’s not approved for coronavirus but doctors can prescribe it.

Bloomberg then admits it is the treatment China uses, just not in that large a dose. The headline didn’t match the article.

It is really meant to be a nasty attack on Trump, tying the treatment to him. They don’t want Americans to be calmed in any way. Now, if anyone dies after taking the drug, he will be blamed. Neato.

Bloomberg is very dishonest. No one is prescribing in grams. Bloomberg is getting mileage out of this lie by retweeting it with different hysterical headlines like — two people in Nigeria died because they listened to Trump. That story came via China.

Many do see it for what it is.

IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE

Let’s back up. 2 grams is 2,000 milligrams. Period. That’s a fact. The recommended dose of is 0.5 grams (500 milligrams), given twice daily. That’sa total daily dose of 1 gram (1,000 milligrams). 2 grams, or 2,000 milligrams is considered a potentially lethal dose. Please, do not take 2 grams just to prove me wrong. It is not a lethal… Read more »

The bureaucracy has created so many burdens that care is hindered. But has Congress even considered that as an option. It’s Never on the table. With bureaucracies come jobs,… Read more »

After the briefing the woman on Fox sounded more like I was listening to CNN. I actually watched it on the White House YouTube channel. I only went to Fox to “see” Their reaction. True to form they blasted the President. After about a minute and a half I quit watching. She said they “have” to ask the tough questions.… Read more »

And some pandemeggedon twitter users are referencing that article in support of their hysteria and suggesting 2+ million deaths.

At the end of the briefing on reporter asks about Trump post on the drug, with the snide comment, “and whether the 74 million twitter followers should be taking medical advice from him…”.
