I’m a biologist by education, this is once again why I am ashamed of the state of science in this country.

The whole point of HCQ is that in combination with zinc it INHIBITS viral replication, once you are infected. Studies that don’t measure viral load and shedding differences between treated and untreated, provide ZERO advancement of knowledge.

I could have told them what their results would be in advance. Shameful...

n a clinical trial testing whether a daily regimen of hydroxychloroquine could protect those most likely to be exposed to COVID-19, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found there was no difference in infection rates among health care workers who took the drug versus those taking a placebo.

Good Lord ... wrong Question.
Your IMMUNE System determines if you get sick or not.

Hydroxychloroquine is a potential TREATMENT if you do get sick But, I'm just an engineer, what do I know about medicine? The masks and 6ft spacing are about as effective as the Medieval treatment of hanging a dead rat from your neck; as that would attract the evil humors.

The big problem with this study is that they couldn’t assure levels of exposure and that it is WAY too small - 12-13 people infected. Everyone using Hospital grade PPE, and no way to normalize for all of the impacts as these people worked in different departments and had different contact with the public, who were excluded from entering the facilities without testing negative. And, the whole of the infected were such mild cases that the diagnosis could easily be a false positive.

It indeed may be reasonable to conclude from this study that HÇQ prophylaxis is not worth the cost or effort. Because the risk and potential loss are just not able to justify it. This is because for people under 60, COVID-19 isn’t a major problem, just a political tool.
