Maria Bartiromo’s Weight Loss: Proper Diet or Health Issues?
On March 17, 2023, Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo told Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were effective against COVID-19, echoing misconceptions that prevailed during the epidemic. As the global health crisis raged, both conservative-backed medications created controversy, and both were declared inadequate cures for the virus by multiple renowned studies.
However, during a piece about former White House expert Dr. Anthony Fauci‘s management of the outbreak, Bartiromo brought them up as if “in a time warp,” according to one Twitter critic. Later. Bartiromo said,
There were also all of these lies about the emergency authorization. They needed the emergency authorization to get the vaccines down everyone’s throats, but they had to prove there was nothing else on the market that could treat COVID.” We all know ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine work, don’t we?
Fox News and its business news channel were chastised for promoting vaccination conspiracy theories and unproven medications, but Bartiromo was unafraid to revive them. “Criminal gaslighting,” another Twitter user sniped. Furthermore, although Paul’s claim about the efficiency of natural immunity after the infection has acquired credence, NBC News reports that shots are still preferable given the risks of COVID particularly for the unvaccinated.
