The key to the three-legged stool is a lowly mineral supplement, zinc. And I agree with you, the VA Survey (It's not even a "study") story isn't botched because the point of the survey is to damage Trump. And the anti-Trumps lap that stuff up like a cat will with antifreeze.
The bottom line is that the reporting of such crap as being valid results not only hinders effective treatment of patients elsewhere (even doctors watch news), but presents to the public that there is no treatment instead of an effective regimen.
Why?
Because in the absence of an effective means to fight the disease, the disease is more scary.
With a pharmacological protocol, the whole concept of it being the Black Death reincarnate would go away.
The need for lockdown would, too, and tyrannies large and small would have to return to Constitutionally authorized behaviour.
The amount of lasting economic damage would dwindle.
The storm would be over, we could start putting lives and businesses and jobs back together.
America would get back to work, and the resurgence would play better for the President in November.
And then we could take a look at all the exculpatory evidence the Democrats were burying while going after the POTUS and others, and the perfidy of those who have enhanced the narrative that is this virus.
And that criminal behaviour, shot through a wide variety of agencies like badly metastasized cancer, could be exposed.
