This is a great example of how misinformation works: not necessarily by saying anything false, but by using a truth to imply something false. Kamala's sister has lupus and takes hydroxychloroquine for it. But this guy is sharing that fact to imply she takes it for coronavirus. https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1293575744208154625
None of this is a secret. @mayaharris_ has written publicly about how the president's irresponsible speculation about a drug she and others desperately need can made it harder for them to obtain: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/save-hydroxychloroquine-people-like-me/609865/ https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1293626920073146368
I'm very familiar with this move from my reporting and research on anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists will say true things like "here are a bunch of Jews in the media" to imply something false like "there is a coordinated Jewish conspiracy that controls the news." https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1293626920073146368
