You should be ashamed of yourself @HeidiNBC - using an emotionally distraught & sick woman who self-medicated FISH TANK CLEANER and just lost her husband as the poster child of why #hydrochloroquine is “deadly” to push back on @POTUS.

Your original tweet says “after ingesting chloroquine” - INCORRECT. The couple ingested chloroquine sulphate - BIG DIFFERENCE but you consciously omitted that in the lead tweet to be sensational.
Additionally, President Trump saying that a drug is being looked at as promising by the FDA is not the same as calling something the cure - another point you knew consciously.
And let’s play the game that the fish tank cleaner was the same “medicine” as President Trump was speaking of (it wasn’t). Self medicating and picking a random dose can be harmul or deadly in MANY safe and widespread medicines - including aspirin, Ritalin, or NyQuil.
You somehow, in your bottomless journalistic integrity, believed that this story gave credence to fears about #hydrochloroquine, despite not being even slightly the same thing as chloroquine sulfate.
Why would you look to muddy those waters and cause more pain and confusion during a time that ALREADY has so much pain and confusion?
Shame on you. You are a disgrace to this poor woman you took advantage of, your fellow journalists, and common decency.
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

*#hydroxychloroquine , twitter auto inserts the other for some reason.
