1/ I can't fully convey just how intensely Sean Hannity (and others in rwm, but especially Hannity) have been pushing hydroxychloroquine.

So, lemme just give *few* examples to offer flavor of how Hannity is portraying this drug. There are easily a few dozen more just like these

2/ Hannity, 3/31: "Hydroxychloroquine with azithromacin and zinc. I have not seen anything at all negative on it."

3/ Hannity, 3/29: "I urge everyone to have a little perspective...I am not minimizing it [coronavirus]...We lose tens of thousands of Americans every year to the flu.

I have more faith in hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin then I ever had. I am not a doctor"

4/ RE hydroxychloroquine, 3/27

Hannity: "At the does level we're talking about... it's not going to bring you to the blindness potential side effect. You have to watch people that have heart conditions. Have you seen anything go wrong?"

OZ: "Nothing that we're aware of."

5/ Hannity to Donald Trump, 3/26: "Dr. Oz has been putting on doctors that have been prescribing off use hydroxychloroquine and zithromax, and patients that used it miraculous turnarounds."

6/ Hannity, 3/25: "With all the doctors that you have talked to, and all patients you have spoken to, those who have tried hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, have you seen side effects were instances where it's not worked?"

Oz: "I've not seen big side effects"

7/ Hannity, 3/24: "It's not dangerous when you compare it to other drugs, hydroxychloroquine, have you looked at the maps online, the countries with higher instances of malaria don't have the higher rate of coronavirus the way the rest of the world is having it?"

8/ Hannity, 3/23: "I don't know if it's going to work. But I talked to a doctor who said it absolutely works. Hydroxychloroquine and a Z-pack."
