How would this site work if people always pointed out the 'truth' in all the smears? I couldn't see any truth in the main thrust of the article which was to psychologise particular views on the crisis. There seemed to be as many fake claims in the fact checks, mostly around the wild straw men they were associating with people like Alan. There is not cognitive dysfunction on HCQ as a newspaper is not a brain, of course there are competing interests and narratives as indeed there are in public life. In the absence of a particular vested interest, surely a newspaper will publish adverts for 'black' next to adverts for 'white' - it's good business, and neutral too  I sympathize with the frustration in Australia but I don't know the policy aims; your cases though tiny are still rising is there some justification if they are trying to eradicate the disease?
