NBC News, which must have thought its fish tank cleaner story was a slam dunk, is trying to pin another hydroxychloroquine-adjacent death on President Trump.
NBC’s Heidi Przybyla reports this week that a 65-year-old New York woman, Ligia, died of a heart attack shortly after being prescribed hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin by her doctor. The woman's family believes the "drug cocktail" is what killed her.
Hydroxychloroquine, you may recall, is the substance that Trump says researchers are examining as a possible treatment for the coronavirus. You see where this is going.
The NBC report reads:
I will save you some time and skip to the seventh paragraph of the report, where Ligia's brother-in-law, Lee Levitt, acknowledges “that the family does not know that the drug caused Ligia’s death. The family has not received a death certificate.”
So, to recap: The woman’s family is not sure if she had the coronavirus. They are also unsure of what killed her. Yet, NBC published a 1,000-plus-word report, anyway, headlined “Family of New York woman blames hydroxychloroquine combo for fatal heart attack.” The subheadline adds: “The 65-year-old woman was prescribed the malaria drug and an antibiotic by her doctor to treat coronavirus symptoms.”
What, exactly, is the story? That a family thinks a suspected coronavirus victim may have been killed by a wrongly prescribed medicine that also happens to be the thing the White House says researchers are exploring as a possible treatment for the disease? Is this a medical malpractice story? Perhaps — but that does not explain why Trump’s name appears four times.
This is not the scoop NBC thinks it is.
Unsurprisingly, the report’s author (who went viral when she promoted NBC’s separate story on an Arizona couple who ingested fish tank cleaner, thinking it would protect them from the coronavirus) failed to mention the relevant details about what is known and unknown about Ligia’s death when she promoted her story this week on social media.
“Family of New York woman blames hydroxychloroquine combo for fatal heart attack,” Przybyla announced in a tweet that has been shared by more than 3,000 social media users. “On same day of her death, Mayo cardiologist told NBC U.S. physicians may be too casually writing ‘corona cocktail’ Rxs amid fanfare around the unproven drug combo to treat COVID-19.”
She adds in a separate tweet, “Ligia’s story shows the ‘cocktail’ is being administered outside hospitals — and it’s not the only one.”
Absent from her series of viral social media posts are mentions of the fact that no one knows if Ligia had the coronavirus or whether the “corona cocktail” caused her heart attack.
It is just a total mystery how these details tend to get lost in the mix when reporters promote their stories on social media. Just a total mystery.
NBC News - Comcast = Der Stürmer
This is tragic actually, MSM is going to cause people to die because of their vendetta against a promising treatment. All because they cannot allow Trump to be right about anything.
Donald J. Trump, MD, strikes again!
Do you also use the screen name ‘4runner’ at FR? The same text is on another thread but not the remotely same subject.
More Jingoistic propaganda.
The left does not want anyone to have hope in this battle. The left has tantrums when confronted with the fact taht literally thousands of lives have been saved with the therapy of HCQ, Zinc vitamin and antibiotic, either Z-pac or Doxycycline.
The fact is that the left is AGAINST HCQ because they know it acts as a preventative of Wuhan virus infection when used in 1 x 220 mg tab of HCQ per day along with 100 mg of Zinc Sulphate , or Zinc Chelate.
IT is the preventative action of HCQ that the left wants UNDISCOVERED, because it will re-open the economy and assure President Trumps re-election.
The twisted bastards of the left are so hateful they would rather see Americans die for a chance to get rid of the President.
You presumed the demon rats and their fifth column media care about being the cause of deaths? Any gaggle of evil bastards that would use the slaughter of alive, sensing infants in the womb is capable of ANY EVIL. What is truly sad is the number of dead soul voters who continue to adore and send these death freaks back to Congress!
When will they figure out that the Trump bashing has gotten so old that people are tuning it out? Also the public health crisis de-prioritized politics and hating the president to a nonissue for most people. The media looks obsessed and foolish by continuing to flog the hate Trump dead horse.
Nice rant! The numbers are a bit out of order: the zinc supplementation is 220mg per day and the HCQ is 200 or 400 mg a week, for prophylaxis as instituted by a few physicians. Also, do not overlook the influence of devils like Billy Gates and George Soros working to end American power n the world these devils want transitioned to one-world governance that they direct. Evil is no longer masquerading, it is sauntering proudly.
You presumed the demon rats and their fifth column media care about being the cause of deaths?”
No, actually I presume that they don’t. The current rat frontrunner for VP’s husband was probably cured with Hydro but we will never hear about it. These people belong to the father of lies in my view.
When referring to NBC, please insert “ “ marks either side of the word news, propaganda is not news. (ie “NEWS”)
I’m waiting for MSM to post side-by-side pics of Trump and Mengele. But since I happily dropped all TV 2 years ago, I’ll never see it unless I come here, thank god.
IMHO...A civil war is brewing in the USA...I would not ever want to be a Democrat or a member of the “Fake News Media”. Go figure ...folks!!! You do not need to be an Einstein to get this one!!!
Also a clone of Völkischer Beobachter, (German: “People’s Observer”), daily newspaper published by the Nazi Party in Germany from the 1920s until the fall of the Third Reich in 1945.
You are right as they have no idea of the fury they have awakened in the US. I have a higher regard for ISIS than I do for treasonous Americans and I believe that no degree of cruelty is too much for ISIS.
This sounds like rehash of a story that was published last week. In fact I know it is because of the women’s name. The other story said they were wit holding her last name because the family wanted it that way.
We don’t even know if this women ever existed. The original source may have been the WP. But even if she did exist this still proves nothing.
fake victim, like the dead arab kid the Palistians carried around for two days.
All you have to do is watch NBC Nightly News a couple times to find out why they are reporting things this way.
When you see the 43rd advertisement for a new, improved prescription drug you will know whos’ paying the bills at 30 Rock...
She was the one who was all over Twitter blaming the Democrat fish tank cleaner murder-attempted suicide on Trump.
She's a lying piece of Democrat Resistance filth.
