It’s hard to understand. My view – even *talking* about hydroxychloroquine, much less staking out some strong position, means that your attention has already been stolen, and the President has already achieved his goal: controlling the narrative. His strategy – as Steve Bannon put it, to “flood the zone with sh*t” – has worked, as it always does. It also occurs to me that there is nothing inherently conservative, Republican, or Trump-like in the position that it should be administered outside of controlled trials; he could have just as easily taken the other position and he would *still* control the conversation, and liberals and conservatives would simply be taking their designated positions. Anyway, it seems to me that Sheasby is so caught up in this preposterous back and forth that it was too much.
