Syndicated talk host Charlie Kirk declared that he’s more concerned about getting eaten by a grizzly bear than catching COVID-19.
During his radio show Friday, The Turning Point founder was discussing his love for the State of Alaska when he said when he goes back he’ll “need to take a couple guards.”
“People die of bears all the time,” he said. “For the record, I am more afraid of getting eaten by a grizzly bear than COVID.”
Kirk said statistically he’s at higher risk because he hikes all the time.
“Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, getting my D-levels up, intravenous therapy,” Kirk said, referring to medical alternatives that have been proposed by some medical professionals to treat COVID-19.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have been more than 58.5 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States with more than 830,000 deaths to date. On Friday, there were 800,000 new cases of COVID-19 reported.
Dear Mr. Hedrick,
You wrote about things like ivermection and hydroxychloroquine which you called, “medical alternatives that have been proposed by some medical professionals to treat COVID-19”.
Leaving the description does a disservice to your readers because those who’ve been following the news for the past two (2) years know of no respected medical authority who does this, and that, in fact, use of these “alternatives” as a potential treatment for COVID-19 has been continually and definitively debunked.
Your half-description left out this critical piece of information and implied to your readers that these medicines have some value in treating COVID-19 when they clearly do not.
How this got past your editors and into print is beyond me. Hopefully, your and Barrett Sports Media’s readers can expect better from your articles and posts in the future especially on something that pretends to be life-saving medicine but really isn’t.
Sincerely,
Bram Weiser
