Alas, conspiracy theories do not collapse when they are debunked, no matter how conclusively and authoritatively. Ideology trumps truth.

And never forget that power trumps truth. When O'Brian said "The party says it is three fingers," he had the power to make Winston believe it.

Antimalarial drug touted by Donny is linked to increased risk of death in coronavirus patients, study says
An analysis of 96,000 patients shows those treated with hydroxychloroquine were also more likely to suffer irregular heart rhythms

https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...navirus-study/

Well, let's hope this obese pig really is taking it, then.

"" It is the things for which there is no evidence that are believed with passion.""
Bertrand Russell



"" If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.""
Bertrand Russell


Mr Russell would be going crazy with notable quotes if alive today.

So now Donny says churches are "essential", and must be opened NOW!

Uh-huh. Go ahead, open all the mega churches in the Bible Belt, let them sing and sneeze all over each other. Morons.

And, scandalously, the VA has been testing the stuff on their elderly and infirm patients. I wonder who's behind THAT!
