It makes sense that the only "news" results you got were from Q sites bc the mainstream news is not talking about adrenochrome.
That being said, (and although I DO use DDG,) everything on the internet is compromised.
I recall there being a lot of articles on andrenochrome a year or so ago. I might be mistaken.
You're right - there was a lot about it - but IIRC only on alt sites
