@sethjlevy @Shem_Infinite don't you find it odd that the HCQ study came out of VA and it was published without peer review? Was it a bait? After publishing study, VA bought more HCQ...https://t.co/HAnKzKIVdK pic.twitter.com/3MwDBAbNCm— _mzishi_ (@_mzishi_) April 27, 2020

I believe that VA “study” was a CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE USA

Sen. Tester and this tweeter need to troll FR.
FR had this researched and thruthed out almost as soon as it became public.

It is not a V.A. study.
It is a study of VA patients treated from March 9, 2020 to April 11, 2020.
Funded by the U of Virginia.

This work was supported by National Institutes of Health (USA) grants (R01EY028027 and R01EY029799), DuPont Guerry, III, Professorship, and University of Virginia Strategic Investment Fund to JA.

The funders had no role in study design or conduct, data collection,analysis, or interpretation, manuscript writing, or the decision to submit the manuscript for publication.

from same NBC News article...
VA Secretary Robert Wilkie briefly mentioned the study in an interview with MSNBC last week, downplaying its results.

"That's an observational study," he said. "It's not a clinical study. It was done on a small number of veterans — sadly, those of whom were in the last stages of life, and the drug was given to them. And I have to also say that we know the drug has been working on middle-age and younger veterans."
