Reading the actual science vs listening to the TV experts
[link removed]
Dear John,
Did 100,000 Americans perish while a remedy was politicized?
One treatment regimen for COVID-19 patients featured a medicine that was hated by millions because, well, Donald Trump advocated for it.
Maybe there was a bit more to their reaction. But the negative association in their minds was enough to hate a chemical that offered the potential to save lives. They hated it so much that they cheered any news that it didn't work. The media Conflict Machine ([link removed]) was eager to provide that news.
Topic: MEDIA FACT-CHECKING
Did they stoke partisan hatred of a chemical?

Our partners at The Exit Network ([link removed]) went to the original sources - the medical and scientific journals. They wanted to find out if Dr. Fauci and the other TV experts were basing their statements on a complete scientific analysis. Here's what they found out...
* You've been warned that this drug is dangerous. Not true.
* You've been told there are no studies indicating it has efficacy. Not true.
* You've been told there is no outpatient or early ambulatory treatment of coronavirus or coronavirus exposure that prevents hospitalization. Not true.
Now, we bring all this research to you. You'll want to bookmark and reference this article, sharing it with friends again and again.

You are receiving this newsletter because you either participated in The World's Smallest Political Quiz, a Single Issue Survey, or the Human Respect Test on TheAdvocates.org ([link removed]) . Then (probably because you're open-minded), you subscribed so that you could discover unique, peaceful solutions - the kind that are not covered on TV or in your browser's feed.
The Exit Network specializes in reporting on the Conflict Machine - a better, more descriptive term for our politics. Essentially, the media presents issues such that they pit neighbor against neighbor, in a divide-and-conquer fashion.
Splitting us up into two teams keeps everything simple for the media conflict model. But are there really just two ways to address every single social problem?
The World's Smallest Political Quiz has shown tens of millions of people a one-dimensional, left-right line is insufficient to explain the diversity of political values and approaches available to you. It requires about 2 minutes to take The Quiz. Here's the link. ([link removed])
