It’s not just CNN: Media outlets keep leaving out that the Arizona man died after eating fish tank cleaner
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
It’s not just CNN . Many other media outlets aren’t reporting that the Arizona man didn’t die after ingesting the anti-malaria drug chloroquine. He died after self-medicating himself with a product used to clean fish tanks:

It looks like Axios deleted its tweet that left out the aquarium part, but is it too much to ask in a crisis that they’re accurate?

1. The man is dead because he put faith in Trump.
2. As far as him being dead because he was dumb enough to eat fish tank cleaner, see no. 1.
"The man's wife told NBC News she'd watched televised briefings..."
No. He's dead because he was stupid.
TDS is a disease with no cure it seems. Of course those that have wouldn't accept any cure found anyways.
What does your comment have to do with anything on this article?
you mean this TDS ?
Trump's Dumbest Sayings
My gawd. Which dirty liberal told these two Trump supporters to eat fish tank cleaner?
People who want to try the drug can ask their doctors to give it to them, they shouldnt be experimenting on their own. If the drug works under doctor supervision we will all know soon enough.
There is NOWHERE where a "liberal" tells anyone not to take a drug approved by the persons doctor.
that makes no sense
So fish cleaner is now a drug that will save your life?
Never mind. Just not in the mood for fishing today
Evidently he thinks that "liberals" are telling people not to take the malaria drug.
I havent seen that. I have seen some people on tv say that the drug is not approved. We know this is true because they are currently "testing" it in NY.
Or do BF and the rest think that if the drug proves useful in treating the virus the "liberals" in the media will cover that fact up?
Any person sick with the virus is quite free to ask the doctors that treat them if they can get the drug Hydroxychloroquine. What does this have to do with "liberals" ?
It's just the usual "libruls are stoopid and wanna kill every body" schtick
Same bat time....same bat channel
Trump never told anyone to take fish cleaner! That is the damn point!
Nor did Trump tell anyone to self medicate; not listen to their doctors; nor anything else that would endanger anyone!
Got it!
After Obama's completely fucked up response to the Swine Flu you would think the left would be a little more forgiving; but no- everything under the sun and stars is still Trump's fault. Funny how the media and the Democrats weren't bitching about the infection rate, hospitalization, or lost lives from Swine Flu. No quarantines, no travel bans, no anything to stop the spread, or anything that would affect an already weak economy and endanger the Obama Admininstration.
You would think we would have learned from that outbreak; but 10 years later and it has just turned into a partisan bitch fest. What precautions were put in place? Where is the stockpiling of needed goods and federal, state, and local plans for handling a massive outbreak?
I know, I know, but Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!!!
Being upset that a couple of Darwin Award winners did something stupid isn't helping anything. Want to be upset about something? Look to Congress, the CDC, State and local governments for not getting anything in place to deal with this. You can throw Obama and Trump on to the tail end of that blame.
Why bring TDS here? It's a no value comment in RusselWorld.
Show me anywhere where anyone said it was safe or recommended to take fish tank cleaner for anything.
And no one told anyone to take an unapproved drug on their own without consulting their doctor.
they couldn't, due to not recalling, as they had no photo graphic memory ,
at least that which they could recall.
Now, I don't think Trump deserves all the credit. What about Cuomo? I mean, he actually said if a person is in dire circumstance, try what you can. And don't forget MSNBC. They deserve some credit, tool. Heck, they put the name of the drug on the TV screen for everyone to read..
Isn't it also used for fish ick?
Shifting personal responsibility so you can blame POTUS for YOUR stupidity? Say it isn't so!
---------------------------------------
When my children were little, everything toxic to them was kept out of their reach ... including fish tank cleaners.
Trump made 'me' do it …!?!
It is unfortunate that there are individuals that lack basic education in the world .. yet ignorance knows NO bounds when somehow the president saying there was 'great promise' [not a direct quote] in a drug caused the ingestion of a fungal medication for fish tanks... sadly utter stupidity is the culprit in this case. I am thinking the buddies that said 'this was safe' should be charge with some form of manslaughter ...
Unbelievable!
I've been alive during more than 10 presidents' administrations. None of those presidents ever made me do anything, and I never thought that any of them were medical experts.
THAT's because you actually have a brain! You're not the kind of person who's going to read his twitter and then look at your fish tank and go OH! I have corona virus antidote right here.
I hear you Jasper ...
There are people still partying on the beach … so apparently this president is not making anyone do anything either... The president does say some really stupid things and I shake my head quite often .. but ................................!
Thank you, Trout Giggles. That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, and I truly appreciate your kind words.
don't get used to it
With 51,542 Americans affected and 677 confirmed dead as of 5PM today, I find it sad that you made such a hostile comment after I thanked you.
At least it was honest
I looked at the article on CNN, here's the second sentence:
Maybe you should consider looking at the actual story rather than a Twitter synopsis. Generally, real information is not like Trump tweets in that no one else can put everything they know about anything they know in a tweet.
