“These results do not support the use of [hydroxychloroquine] in patients hospitalised for documented SARSCoV-2-positive hypoxic pneumonia,” the study authors wrote.
Abstract: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.10.20060699v1
"We used data collected from routine care of all adults in 4 French hospitals with documented SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and requiring oxygen"
Which fits with what the non-clinical results are showing. People who have more extreme cases of Covid-19 and have addtional conditions that make Covid-19 worse, are at the most risk of dying no matter what is done. AFAIK, anyone advocated HQL supports early detection and treatment becuase by the time it gets to the oxygen/ventilator stage it is likely too late.
This study does not refute the early use of HQL as its medical supporters advocate, despite what the title and tone of the article implies.
I am getting so tired with journalists, left and right wing, pretending to be academic experts when they are not, deliberately misrepresenting sources knowing most people won't check, and trying to fit what they do not understand into political narratives. Then turning around and treating anyone who does not go along with the informed ignorance they are trying to manufacture.
OK, I am definitely suffering from Stage II Stir Crazy and Stage II Cabin Fever right now.
Thank you for supporting everything I wrote in Post #11 above, you said it even better than me.
