-—Because first scientific study of chloroquine showed that it is not a solution-—
Chinese study, for what it’s worth. But, in the body of the study, it said that chloroquine did significantly reduce symptoms. Also, the Std. of Care that the study used as a base line is a bit vague, especially if it is the Chinese standard of care. Additionally, these were patients already hospitalized in China. It is difficult to understand their true health status.
I don’t have an opinion as to the efficacy of HCQ, but I do have an opinion regarding this study: it does not show that HCQ is not an effective treatment early on.
Nothing, no data, from China is reliable. Should not even be cited.
We have a MOUNTAIN of empirical data right here in the US. We have politicians and movie stars cured by it and will not say a peep about it (except for that poor naive D from Georgia who is going to get hammered for having the poor sense than to be grateful to President Trump for pushing this).
If China said water was wet, I’d start from the position it wasn’t.
