Hydroxychloroquine could have caused 17,000 deaths during COVID, study finds
Former US President Donald Trump said: ‘What do you have to lose? Take it.’
https://www.politico.eu/article/hydroxychloroquine-could-have-caused-17000-deaths-during-covid-study-finds/
JANUARY 4, 2024 3:43 PM CET
2 MINUTES READ

Nearly 17,000 people may have died after taking hydroxychloroquine during the first wave of COVID, according to a study by French researchers.

The anti-malaria drug was prescribed to some patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic, "despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits," the researchers point out in their paper, published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.

Now, researchers have estimated that some 16,990 people in six countries — France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. — may have died as a result.

That figure stems from a study published in the Nature scientific journal in 2021 which reported an 11 percent increase in the mortality rate, linked to its prescription against COVID-19, because of the potential adverse effects like heart rhythm disorders, and its use instead of other effective treatments.

Researchers from universities in Lyon, France, and Québec, Canada, used that figure to analyze hospitalization data for COVID in each of the six countries, exposure to hydroxychloroquine and the increase in the relative risk of death linked to the drug.

In fact, they say the figure may be far higher given the study only concerns six countries from March to July 2020, when the drug was prescribed much more widely.

Hydroxychloroquine gained prominence partly due to French virologist Didier Raoult who had headed the Méditerranée Infection Foundation hospital, but was later removed amid growing controversy.

It was also considered something of a “miracle cure” by the then-U.S. President Donald Trump, who said: “What do you have to lose? Take it.”

State Capitols evacuated after bomb threats
The state Capitol complexes in Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Michigan were evacuated Wednesday after bomb threats were made, officials said.

By Adam Edelman and Henry J. Gomez

At least four state capitol complexes across the U.S. were forced to evacuate Wednesday morning due to a series of bomb threats, officials said.

In Georgia, Gabriel Sterling, an elections official with the Office of the Secretary of State, wrote on X around 8:30 a.m. ET that there had been a bomb threat at the Georgie state Capitol, causing a delayed opening. About 20 minutes later, he tweeted that the complex had reopened after law enforcement officials investigated. An official with the Georgia State Patrol didn’t immediately respond to questions from NBC News.

In Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear wrote on X around 10:30 a.m. ET that the state police had evacuated the state Capitol and was investigating a “threat received by the Secretary of State’s Office.”

Officials with the Kentucky State Police didn’t immediately respond to questions from NBC News.

A spokesperson for the Michigan State Police also confirmed that there had been a bomb threat to the state Capitol on Wednesday morning.

"In response to a threat made involving the Michigan State Capitol Building in Lansing, we can confirm a threat was emailed to a general account for the Michigan State Capitol Commission around 7:45 a.m. today, Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024," Michigan State Police spokesperson Lori Dougovito said.

"We are aware of similar threats sent to government agencies across the country," Dougovito said, adding that the Capitol was evacuated and that the building was searched.

The situation remains under investigation and the building "will remain closed for the rest of the day," she added.

In Mississippi, an official with the Department of Public Safety said the state Capitol had "successfully been cleared" after a bomb threat was made.

"The building was thoroughly searched, and no explosives or suspicious equipment were found," the spokesperson, Bailey Martin, said in a statement. "There is no further threat to the Capitol or surrounding buildings," Martin added.

The threats appeared to be part of a broader pattern unfolding across the U.S. this week, with reports of similar threats being made to state Capitols in Connecticut, Montana and Minnesota. Law enforcement officials in those three states didn’t immediately respond to questions from NBC News.

Federal officials have warned that public servants at all levels of government are facing a huge surge in threats made against them in recent years.

In September, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified that government workers had seen an “astounding“ number of such threats.

Stakes are really high’: misinformation researcher changes tack for 2024 US election
Kate Starbird says attacks have made research difficult, and claims of bias arise because of prevalence of lies from the right
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/01/misinformation-trends-2024-election-right-wing
Rachel Leingang
Mon 1 Jan 2024 12.00 EST

Akey researcher in the fight against election misinformation – who herself became the subject of an intensive misinformation campaign – has said her field gets accused of “bias” precisely because it’s now mainly rightwingers who spread the worst lies.

Kate Starbird, co-founder of the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, added that she feared that the entirely false story of rigged elections has now “sunk in” for many Americans on the right. “The idea that they’re already going to the polls with the belief that they’re being cheated means they’ll misinterpret everything they see through that lens,” she said.

Starbird’s group partnered with Stanford Internet Observatory on the Election Integrity Partnership ahead of the 2020 elections – a campaign during which a flood of misinformation swirled around the internet, with daily claims of unproven voter fraud.

Starbird and her team helped document that flood, and in return congressional Republicans and conservative attorneys attacked her research, alleging it amounted to censorship and violated the first amendment.

Starbird, a misinformation researcher, herself became the subject of an ongoing misinformation campaign – but said she would not let that deter her from her research. Her team wasn’t the only target of the conservative campaign against misinformation research, she noted: researchers across the country have received subpoenas, letters and criticism, all attempting to frame misinformation research as partisan and as censorship.

Jim Jordan, chair of the House judiciary committee, served as the ringleader of this effort in Congress, using his power to investigate groups and researchers that work to counter misinformation, particularly as it related to elections and Covid-19. One practice that especially upset Jordan and his colleagues was when researchers would flag misleading information to social media companies, who would sometimes respond by amending factchecks or taking down false posts entirely.

Nor is it just Congress attacking anti-misinformation work. A federal lawsuit from the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana alleges that the Biden administration violated the first amendment by colluding with social media companies to censor and suppress speech. A new lawsuit from the state of Texas and two rightwing media companies takes aim at the Global Engagement Center, a state department agency that focuses on how foreign powers spread information.

The pressure campaign has chilled misinformation research just ahead of the pivotal 2024 presidential election, as some academics switch what they focus on and others figure out ways to better explain their work to a mixed audience. One thing they will probably no longer do is flag posts to social media companies, as the practice remains an issue in several ongoing court cases.

Starbird has landed in the middle of all this. Her work was included in Jordan’s investigation, her emails were sought by the Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general, she was sued in another lawsuit brought by Stephen Miller’s America First Legal, and she and the center have been inundated by records requests.

“In a few years, I’ll look back and say it was a really valuable perspective,” she said. “Because I’ve seen campaigns that were extremely effective at using disinformation to smear the reputation of people – so much so that I’ve seen someone that I was studying take his own life. I know that the stakes are really high in these spaces.”

Jordan’s committee released reports with outlandish claims about how the government, researchers and tech companies “colluded” to “censor Americans”. Starbird served on an external advisory committee for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; when a Republican congressional report claimed the committee tried to censor people, when in reality it solely advised the security agency, Starbird fired back, calling the Republican report a “manipulated narrative”.

“It was really weird to watch how they so effectively created this false narrative. It was frustrating,” she said. “And then at some point, you step back and you’re like, ‘You gotta appreciate their craft – good at what they did.’”

Starbird started her academic career by studying online volunteerism, then misinformation campaigns after the Boston marathon bombing in 2013. She’s seen the work of political actors grow more sophisticated in spreading disinformation.

The influencers, political elites on the right, have embraced those lies, which is one of the reasons that they spread further
Kate Starbird
The reason that research into election misinformation is labelled as biased was because it’s largely the right that spreads election lies these days, she said. Widespread misinformation shared by rightwing politicians and activists since the 2020 election culminated in the January 6 insurrection, which was motivated by false claims of electoral fraud, almost all of which have been thrown out of court.

“The influencers, political elites on the right, have embraced those lies, which is one of the reasons that they spread further,” she said. “So this is an asymmetric phenomenon.

“Now, they may argue and say that they’re not false, and it’s really hard to have a conversation if you don’t have a shared view of reality.”

Her work now focuses on election processes and procedures. She says she now refers more to “rumors” than to “misinformation” – both because “rumor” has more historical context, and because “misinformation” is a much more politicized term, co-opted by people outside the field, similar to how the legitimate phenomenon of “fake news” on social media before the 2016 election got twisted by Donald Trump into an insult to journalists.

Her team will probably not flag content to social media platforms, either. “That piece of the work has been so effectively twisted into a censorship narrative that it becomes hard to help out in that way,” she said.

While she had hoped to work with local and state elections officials – the experts on how elections work, who have themselves been subject to harassment – for context and help assessing viral rumors, “it’s increasingly hard for us to think that we’ll be able to communicate with them in a way that would be helpful for them, helpful for the world, and not cause more damage because it becomes fodder for these false claims”.

With misinformation research under fire and social media platforms less willing to factcheck viral posts, 2024 could see a flood of voter fraud lies, making for an even more contentious election than in 2020. Even if social media platforms, which are optimized to spread the most attention-getting posts, did more work to address misinformation, they would still be accused of bias and censorship, Starbird said.

She fears that the election fraud narrative has now “sunk in” so deeply for so many Americans on the right that it could end up creating worse laws and procedures – and actually increase the possibility of a successful foreign interference campaign in US elections.

“Right now, we’ve got a space where we may be in a ‘Boy who cried wolf’ situation, where there’s so much misinformation about election integrity that if we have a true threat, we may miss it,” Starbird said.

Still, despite the loud voices on the right continuing to spread disinformation about elections, Starbird thinks the people who got drawn into those narratives before might be a little savvier now, perhaps less likely to fall for some of the “more extravagant” claims again.

“I am hopeful that we’ve seen the worst of it,” she said. “I’m not confident we’ve seen the worst of it.”

A lawsuit challenging Trump’s eligibility for the Alaska ballot hasn’t advanced
By Liz Ruskin, Alaska Public Media -December 28, 2023
https://alaskapublic.org/2023/12/28/a-lawsuit-challenging-trumps-eligibility-for-the-alaska-ballot-hasnt-advanced/

The top elections official in Maine on Thursday disqualified Donald Trump from that state’s primary ballot, due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In Anchorage, a lawsuit in federal district court seeks to have Trump disqualified from Alaska’s 2024 presidential election ballot, too, but so far it hasn’t advanced.

Texas tax advisor John Anthony Castro, a long-shot Republican candidate for president, filed legal challenges in more than two dozen states, including Alaska. Castro claims that Trump is disqualified by the 14th Amendment to the constitution, which bars people who have engaged in insurrection against the United States from holding office.

“The question is, whether Donald J. Trump provided aid to an insurrection, which we all know that he did,” Castro told a reporter outside a New Hampshire courthouse in October.

Most of the cases Castro filed have either been dismissed, or he voluntarily dropped them.

He filed the Alaska case in late September. Online records suggest Castro hasn’t legally served copies of the lawsuit to the defendants – Trump and Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, who oversees Alaska’s Division of Elections. Without the required legal service, defendants don’t have to file a response.

Trump maintains he did nothing wrong on Jan. 6, 2021, when a throng of his supporters left his rally at the White House and stormed the U.S. Capitol, delaying the certification of his election loss to Joe Biden.

Trump faces more dynamic 14th Amendment lawsuits in several other states. In Colorado, a group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington won a state Supreme Court ruling disqualifying Trump. The state Republican party has appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Molly Forbes obituary
Anthony Baxter
Wed 5 May 2021 13.13 EDT
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/may/05/molly-forbes-obituary


Molly Forbes, who has died aged 96, will be remembered by many as the Scottish woman who stood up to Donald Trump.

When Trump tried to buy the Forbes’ farm for his Aberdeenshire golfing resort, the family resisted. He attempted to have compulsory purchase orders taken out, saying at a press conference in 2010 that the farm was “a pigsty”, “slumlike” and “disgusting”. Molly responded with a banner across her hen shed reading: “TRUMP THE GREATEST LIAR”. Trump did not succeed in buying the farm. The golf course was opened on 10 July 2012 but the luxury hotel was never built.

I first met Molly in 2009 when I started work on You’ve Been Trumped, the first of three documentaries I made about Trump in Scotland. She appeared in all three films and I got to know her well. She was not afraid to take on the billionaire.

Born Mary Lamb in Whitecairns, Aberdeenshire, she was the daughter of James Lamb, a crofter and lorry driver, and his wife, Annie (nee Mowat). Molly grew up on the family farm speaking the local Doric dialect.

After attending Craigie school, she served as a Land Girl during the second world war, tending dairy cows.

In 1948 she married Wattie (Walter) Forbes, a sailor and salmon fisherman. They had seven children. After the war, Molly worked as a cleaner at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, then as a waitress for a company in Aberdeen. In the early 1970s, she went to Grampian Television, where she served meals to executives, celebrities and dignitaries. She worked there until 1998, when she left work to care for Wattie, who had become ill. He died the following year.

It was in 2006 that Trump purchased the 1400-acre Menie estate, which had the Forbes’ farm nestled within it, in order to build his luxury resort.

He threatened the family and other residents with compulsory purchase orders in an attempt to force them out. Despite legal challenges to the planning permissions, in which Molly was also involved, Trump was able to go ahead with constructing the golf course. Purchase orders were never made on the homes.

In 2010 I discovered while filming that Trump’s workers had cut off the water supply to the Forbes’ farm. Molly was without water in her home. I reported this to the offices of Trump International Golf Links and interviewed the chief greenkeeper about it who admitted (on camera) they had fractured a pipe to the farm. Later that afternoon, I was arrested and charged with breach of the peace by Grampian Police. The charges were later thrown out. The water pipe was eventually fixed by Molly’s son Michael.

Donald Trump later told me in an interview in New York that Molly reminded him of his own mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who hailed from the Isle of Lewis. Molly’s own response to this was: “That just shows you. If he says I remind him of his mother, he didn’t treat her very well then.”

Molly was dignified and courageous, and wise. Drawing on her own experiences of Trump ahead of the US election in 2016 she candidly warned: “I pity America if he’s president.”

Molly continued to tend her chickens on the farm until 2019.

She is survived by her children Walter, Evelyn, Lorna, Michael, Sylvia and Shireen. Another daughter, Noreen, predeceased her.
