What's Up With the Media's Irrational Hydroxychloroquine Derangement Syndrome?

When President Donald Trump announced that he was taking hydroxychloroquine to prevent contracting the coronavirus, the usual suspects reacted just as one could have predicted. Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) tweeted, “as the only medical doctor among our nation’s governors, I suggest you stop taking hydroxychloroquine,” in reference to Trump. Nancy Pelosi made her infamous quip about Trump being morbidly obese (which he’s not, by the way). Joe Biden even compared Trump’s taking of hydroxychloroquine to him injecting himself with Clorox. Hydroxychloroquine has been approved by the FDA for various treatments for decades. CNN’s Chris Cuomo also mocked Trump for taking the drug, even though he had used a version of the drug himself for his own treatment following his positive diagnosis for the coronavirus.
