Peer-review study ignored by media shows hydroxychloroquine associated with fewer deaths
Ian's thoughts: major media heavily promoted a non-peer-reviewed retrospective study that reported no benefits for HCQ (see Dr. Breggin's debunking of that study) and that included no data on HCQ doses or when in the course of illness it was administered (which matters because as with other antivirals, early treatment appears to be key to efficacy). In contrast, this retrospective study passed peer-review and has data on HCQ doses and when in the course of illness it was prescribed and found lower than expected mortality among those given HCQ. Yet this study of superior quality on every score is ignored whereas the low-quality study was promoted by media heavily just because it threw shade on a drug that Trump promoted. They would literally rather tens of thousands of people die than Trump be right about even one thing.
