Weekly mentions of COVID in news articles worldwide reaches 10,000 weekly, even though COVID was not a big concern outside of China. Coverage sometimes exceeded COVID cases by more than 7-fold (i.e., more than 7 separate news stories “per-person-infected” with COVID).
Imagine if there were 7 separate news stories for every person infected with flu.

The French taking HCQ off of OTC status at that time just seems suspicious as all get out. It's like they were planning a pandemic from the beginning.
