| To put to rest your straw man argument:
Actually wasn't referencing Trump or Fox News at all. I don't watch television at all and Trump is a buffoon. I wish Trump had never even talked about it because then it wouldn't have become taboo for otherwise intelligent people to discuss. I personally don't care if he is re-elected or not, we're on our own regardless. I rely on facts, not belief. Integrity is important and in short supply in our age. The author of the article you sent made a great point near the end of his article: <quote> I called it “potentially very interesting” and called for more data to see if it was real. That’s where I still am. </quote> I completely agree with this, let's disprove it and strike it off the list, but the studies that I have read so far don't seem to do a good job of disproving. I appreciate the link and am happy to read what people send, keep sharing information! I am always interested and want to get the best information possible to help the people I know if at all possible. Thanks again for taking the time to share with me. Here's a link to a pre-print that seems like it holds a pretty promising review of existing studies. https://www.palmerfoundation.com.au/hydroxychloroquine-is-ef... |
That's not how science or research works. The onus is on the ones that are claiming something works to prove it works. So far they have failed. Otherwise one could come up with zillions of alleged treatments that are assumed to work unless someone disproves them.
Anyway, he wrote that in early April. If you read his writings in the next few months he think HCQ doesn't work.
