I stopped reading this worthless piece after scanning and seeing this halfway down:
“However, the research doesn’t specifically address whether hydroxychloroquine is effective at treating coronavirus symptoms”
When several of the most cited studies relied on both viral load measurements and the disappearance of symptoms the original author's statement is misleading. I would hope that most people would understand that a drug which drove the viral load down to zero without harming the patient is what everyone wants when they are looking for a treatment. That is more important than getting rid of symptoms, like a headache or sore muscles. We've got Tylenol for that job.
