Axios was forced to correct a story that claimed a man died from taking an anti-malaria drug that President Trump has touted as a possible cure for the Chinese Coronavirus.
Axios pushes misleading chloroquine story
We have deleted this tweet and corrected our story because it did not reflect the full nature of the self-medication done with an additive commonly used to clean fish tanks. https://t.co/0zucqRaIkI pic.twitter.com/3YY86rju2w

They barely corrected anything however, and still are seemingly bashing President Trump over this.
Here is the first two paragraphs of the report:
“A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks,” which is also part of one of the antimalaria drugs that President Trump has mentioned in recent days, according to Banner Health, the hospital system that treated both patients.
Why it matters:Â People who attempt to self-medicate risk serious side effects or death, and it’s why any messaging about chloroquine and the related hydroxychloroquine should emphasize that these drugs have not been approved to prevent or treat the new coronavirus.
Notice how they are still not reporting the truth. They are still trying to claim this is President Trump’s fault. It isn’t. President Trump never told Americans to drink fish cleaner. Anyone who does that is not listening to the President.
