** 05-Jun-2020 World View: Hydroxychloroquine 'science' scam
A perfect example of what you've learned has emerged in the last 24
hours. After Donald Trump spoke hopefully about the drug
hydroxychloroquine, and announced that he had been taking it himself,
the mainstream media immediately rushed to publicize and push a
"study" that showed that hydroxychloroquine was useless and dangerous,
ignoring a great deal of anecdotal evidence.
So now it suddenly turns out that this so-called "scientific study"
was invalid and may have simply been a hoax. According to one report,
"The number of patients in Australia captured by the study was greater
than the total number of known patients in Australia." Discovery of
that inconsistency led to discoveries of more inconsistencies.
We can assume that the "scientists" who pushed this study were
never-Trumpers and could use their exalted élite status to "prove"
that Trump ignores science, while the exalted élites follow the
science. As in the case of many other areas, especially climate
change, a lot of the so-called "science" is just ideological crap from
left-wing activists who are no more than pigs at the money trough.
