According to last night’s Rachel Maddow Show, Hatfill was the guy responsible for telling Trump that hydroxychloroquine was an infallible agent against COVID, and also that COVID would be gone by May. I don’t know why Trump trusted him so much, aside from the fact that he was telling Trump things he really wanted to hear, but he seems to be the source for White House thinking about COVID at that time. He also said that Fauci and others were responsible for US deaths by not following up on hydroxychloroquin. And just to make things even more messed up, Hatfill was the guy suspected in the 2001 anthrax mailings. > **[Steven Hatfill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Hatfill)** > > Steven Jay Hatfill (born October 24, 1953) is an American physician, pathologist and biological weapons expert.

I am transfixed pondering such questions as: Did Lin Wood go insane or was he always insane and no one noticed until lately? If he went insane, was there a trigger? What was it? Why was it a trigger event? Why do we try to treat obviously delusional people as if they are coherent and lucid? How is it a good idea to have someone like this driving a car, for instance? ---
