An important backstory to the hydroxychloroquine enthusiasm is the weird paranoid fears of virus vaccine research. Apparently, Bill Gates is researching vaccines in order to insert controlling microchips into our bodies. - more to come -
Ha ha, you say, that sounds like utter lunacy. As it is. But it's slowly percolating from the anti-vax fringe into the conservative ecosystem (Newsmax, Washington Times, Fox News) - as @mmfa details here mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…
@mmfa Newsmax especially is promoting deranged fantasies about virus vaccines. Emerald Robinson is the Newsmax White House correspondent, frequently called upon by President Trump 
@mmfa EG just this past April 8.
@mmfa The fringe promotes hydroxychloroquine not only to cover for President's Trump's early failures - not only because of its susceptibility to promises of miracle cures - but as an alternative to the scientific vaccines it fears and abhors
@mmfa Isn't that baffling?
