SHITLER has always been wild'n'crazy guy about his drugs & "medical" sources, same w/chloroquine

Remember one of our early shocks at seeing his doctor, weird hair, hidden records, 1-page health summary writteb by SHITLER's staff? Even worse later with the clean cut Navy doctor using such medical terms as magnificent specimen, written on drunken breaks?

And what's the deal with Laura INGRAHAM, that Christlike convert to Catholicism, now apparently at the summit of her influence, after we thought that that summit had been achieved with being one of the Elves (along with George CONWAY) ginning up the impeachment of CLINTON, her of the shady choices in boyfriends (ex-Dinesh d'SOUZA). Lately she's been popping up all over, like in the POMPEO luxe supper parties with GORSUCH and ALITO and now here being a key hydroxy pusher for SHITLER. She's *everywhere*!1

The Strange Origins Of Trump’s Hydroxychloroquine Obsession
How a “philosopher” who tweets anti-Semitism, two bitcoin bros and right-wing media helped put an idea in the president’s head.

…. Weeks before Trump first promoted the drug, a Twitter conversation about hydroxychloroquine between “philosopher” Adrian Bye and two cryptocurrency investors set off a chain of events that would bring the unproven drug to the attention of Elon Musk, Fox News pundits and Trump. ….

On March 11, cryptocurrency investors Gregory Rigano and James Todaro mused about coronavirus treatments and potential death tolls on Twitter to their then-small number of followers. Bye, who says he has been living in the Wudang Mountains in central China for the past few years and formerly interviewed tech “thought leaders” for his startup, responded to one of Todaro’s tweets about the virus.

“Chloroquine will keep most people out of hospital. The US hasn’t learned about that yet,” Bye replied to Todaro. ….

The Google doc, with its grand claims and the help of its false affiliation with Stanford and other institutions, quickly went viral and was tweeted out to millions by prominent venture capitalists and Tesla CEO Musk ― none of whom appeared to vet its methods or sources. Fox News and other right-wing media jumped on the paper and touted the drug as a potential quick fix for the virus. Fox News host and informal Trump adviser Tucker Carlson had Rigano on his prime-time show, with Rigano falsely identified as an adviser to Stanford and claiming “what we’re here to announce is the second cure to a virus of all time.” Rigano made a similar appearance on right-wing radio host Glenn Beck’s program and with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who then privately met with Trump in early April to promote the drug. ….

(...Bye told HuffPost. ) “I stopped publishing on hydroxychloroquine some time ago because I am not a doctor or scientist, and I think the validity of the evidence must be in the hands of doctors and scientists to determine.”

Meanwhile, Rigano falsely claimed to be an adviser to Stanford, appearing on multiple right-wing news shows with that title and including it in his Twitter bio. Rigano also claims to have been working with Vladimir Zelenko, a small-town New York doctor popular in right-wing media and with Trump associates. Federal prosecutors are reportedly scrutinizing Zelenko over his false claims that he received federal approval for a drug study to treat coronavirus. ….
