What is interesting in this controversy over hydroxichloroquine is what happened to the French supply of the drug in January 2020, even before France had any cases of COVID19. Prior to the pandemic it was an over the counter drug used to control malaria, but all of a sudden it required a prescription from a doctor and warehouse stocks disappeared.

A number of well-known French doctors protesting these actions were silenced by the government - even arrested and labs destroyed. The main researcher, who was head of the Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and who would not be intimated, was removed from his position after a lengthy trial for “malpractice.” That was after he had treated thousands of Marseilles citizens with the drug from a tent clinic he put up outside the Institute.
The one French doctor treated over 2,700 Covid-19 patients with the hydroxychloriquine cocktail. They all tested negative within five days. The one patient who died, died of something else.
Whenever someone said there were no clinical trials to support the use of hydroxychloriquine, I just tell them there were no clinical trials to support the use of the jabs. I also point out that at some point, the massive numbers of so-called “anecdotal evidence” concerning the use of hydroxychloriquine is far superior to any possible clinical trial.
If they persist, I mention that Vigra was developed to help with heart-related issues. It was only male patient reports to their doctors that they were getting very firm elections. There was no clinical trial for the use of Viagra for ED. That was just one example of a retrospective study. They are manybother examples.
