Oh no. Look at the early data on HCQ on https://c19early.com/. Results were showing around 66-70% reduction in death with a high confidence interval.

Then look at both the revocation of the EUA from the FDA on HCQ, and look at the NIH study.

Standard of Care is moving towards a multi-drug cocktail NOT a singular drug.

One of those drugs happens to be one mentioned in TFA.

We should not remove whole classes of drugs such as antivirals from the treatment regimen just because some political figure mentioned A, B or C.

Leave the treatment plan for which antiviral with different effects (of which there are many) to the ID Doc and Internists.

If you believe in evidence based medicine, which apparently you do not, there is no evidence.

Studies which use HCQ are fine -- because they're providing evidence.

What we do have evidence for are vaccinations.

We have evidence for vaccinations, and we have evidence for COVID treatment protocols.

Are you disputing that fact?
