Fausi is by-the-book, in that unless there are peer-reviewed, double-blind, randomized studies, it’s anecdotal. But this isn’t the time for peer-reviewed, double-blind, randomized. It’s time for “compassionate care”. Get the data later.

Yep.... particularly not the time during a HUGE national emergency. And not when it involves drugs already proven (years ago) safe when used as directed. And when that drug combination has been proven to be effective in fighting the virus causing COVID-19.
There is someone here who oversaw an ER for over 20 years who is also of that mindset..not only that...he wants the study to come from some place like harvard, mayo or hopkins before he will believe it.
I asked him if he thought this drug should be used right now or should we wait for a study from said places
He hasnt answered the question.
That is why Trump has Fauci there....to represent the bureaucratic swamp where approvals go to die. Fauci tells Trump it cannot be approved because of X. Trump goes out and eliminates or streamlines X.
That is why there is so much progress so quickly.
Also, Hydroxychloroquine is being used en masse at many hospitals and manufacturers are making as much as possible.
The US may come out of this with very few fatalities compared to other, more regulated nations.
The study is a clinical study.
