Don't know the details and haven't confirmed but I heard in one of the more covered studies that showed HCQ was dangerous, they gave people overdoses

Lately? 99%. Even fields that shouldn't even have room for it are at the very least being degraded because of (often voluntary) diversity quotas.

On the HCQ, I haven't read into it, because ultimately it doesn't even matter. Millions of people would rather not take it even if it was proven just because orange man bad. You could see it coming from a mile away. The moment Trump mentioned it it was decided HCQ didn't work.

If you'd wear the mask, the drugs for treatment would be irrelevant.

this post-truth shit is infuriating. this disease has broken everything and made it obvious that people don;t care about what is true,they care about narratives. the virus doesn't give a fuck about them though.

one well controlled study >>>>>>>> 50 or even 100 improperly controlled, poorly blinded, low N clinical trials

Why not throw in anonymity to various aspects of publishing and research?
>oops we made it more racist

>However, the NIH promoted a much different strategy for the United States. The “Fauci Strategy” was to keep early infected patients quarantined at home without treatment until they developed a shortness of breath and had to be admitted to a hospital.
Ah yes the old "don't seek medical help until you're dying because we have a non-existent vaccine to sell later" technique of American medicine.

>muh studies
study niggers need to hang. Stop relying on studies by bullshitting cunts who've never seen a patient, start listening to the doctors who actually successfully treat thousands of patients for the disease in question.

/sci/ on any other topic:
>MDs are just glorified engineers
>who would believe a poorly controlled study lmao
>muh confirmation bias
/sci/ on HCQ:
>I have never been involved in a clinical trial or treated a patient myself but I'm going to make outlandish claims based on these preprints of retrospective observational studies from medrxiv while inventing ever more convoluted hypotheses about potential success conditions for HCQ

Not possible least in here because effective masks cost 1€ pcs and you should not use them more than once.

lel at this objective journalism
>Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine in combination with azithromycin were first put forward as potential treatments for Covid-19 in a French study described as “meaningless”. The journal later said the study did not meet standards for publication.
>But by the time the journal disavowed the study’s flawed design, media outlets had already promoted the unproven and risky drug combination. The treatment was tweeted by the tech billionaire Elon Musk and picked up by Fox News. It was then touted by Trump as a potential “game-changer” despite serious risks and lack of safety and efficacy data. At least one man has died and a woman was hospitalized after taking chloroquine.

What if I told you that Dr. Fauci is a hypocrite who did some of those pro-HCQ studies himself.
