SUMMARY:

US doctors claim that Trump's controversial hydroxychloroquine drug DOES help 91% of coronavirus patients and argue we should not wait for 'controlled trials'

• The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons wrote a letter to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey urging wider use of hydroxychloroquine to treat covid
• They claim that data on 2,333 coronavirus patients reveals the drug helped 91% of patients recover
• Their data is mostly taken from observations of various doctors, many of whom - including Dr Oz - report treating only one or two patients
• Dr Anthony Fauci has advised caution in using hydroxychloroquine until clinical trials provide more data
• FDA issued a warning against using hydroxychloroquine outside hospitals due to its potential to cause heart arrhythmias in some patients
• Hydroxychloroquine has shown promise in labs and anecdotal reports, but a VA study found more patients treated with it died than those given standard care
• AAPS dismisses these results, arguing the veterans involved were very sick and their outcomes were not representative

" . . . a VA study found more patients treated with it died than those given standard care . . . "

That is because the drug was only given to patients who did not respond to standard care; it was not administered early in the treatment, as EVERY doctor who uses it recommends. All the study "proved" is that the drug didn't save patients who were also not saved by standard treatment.
