RE: If it is only how many were diagnosed, then the flu shot should be banned, as it is considered only (at best) 40% effective.
That’s a very fair observation. That would imply that:
* A Covid-19 vaccine could possibly ( God forbid ) not be fully effective like the flu vaccine.
* The other question is this -— How fully protective is HCQ against Malaria for which it has been used for 60 years? If it is 93%, then heck, this study simply replicates what HCQ does for Malaria, but that’s a big IF. I don’t know the percentage of protectivity it has against Malaria.
We agree on the points you made in that post, but I still contend a diagnosis without serious symptoms should not count against the effectiveness.
I also wonder about whether they accounted for zinc intake in the study.
