“Our sense of guilt explains the transformation of the debate into something of an unscientific nature,”

So true.

The author may want to have a look at India, a country of some 1.3 billion people and the world's biggest democracy by far.

Watch the media start complaining that in desperation Trump has turned to an anti-science climate denier to support his lies to the American people so that he can further push his selfish and murderous COVID-19 agenda.

The writer’s hatred is such that he even criticizes hope if it’s from President Trump.

Im relieved that a skeptical person of any kind is in the the loop on corona virus

The current conventional “wisdom” group think is not having a lot of success so far

In today’s world being a climate skeptic is on par with being a Holocaust denier.

Meanwhile medical reports are very positive about this medicine and India has just reserved all its pills for domestic use during this virus scare. India makes a lot of these pills, incidentally. Israel just sent a large supply of these pills free to USA to help against this virus as Israel is using them too and so are several other counties including . FDA likewise says any USA doctor can prescribe this medicine. China is using it too. Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus is spreading rapidly, and scientists are endeavoring to discover drugs for its efficacious treatment in China. Chloroquine phosphate, an old drug for treatment of malaria, is shown to have apparent efficacy and acceptable safety against COVID-19 associated pneumonia in multicenter clinical trials conducted in China. The drug is recommended to be included in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 issued by the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China for treatment of COVID-19 infection in larger populations in the future.

Keywords: 2019-nCoV; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; chloroquine; pneumonia.

He wasn’t the only one - Norway did a small double blind study that was also showed success.

This isn’t “science” - this is “scientism”, a religious following like climate “science” where non-believers are cast out as evil.

And you have their priests like the governor of Michigan and Nevada penalizing doctors who want to at least try to use the drug on terminal patients but are forbidden now to do so because it upsets the orthodoxy.

What is a Class 1 climate skeptic?
Someone who can do actual science, but is NOT being funded to do climate “research” by the government.

What is a Class 2 climate skeptic?
Someone who considers EVERYTHING about climate from the media to be tainted, half-witted, and presented by folks who failed their fifth grade science tests.

The study was conducted by Didier Raoult, a virologist at Aix-Marseille University in France. Raoult has a history of challenging science outside of his field of expertise, including claims that Darwin's theory of evolution was wrong and that climate models are overblown.

As he should.

Entirely fake news.
We had strong hints of the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine because of the passengers on the quarantined cruise ships before Peppe Le Piew entered the equation. That’s not his discovery.

“If you’re not a physician, you shouldn’t be opining on medical care.”

The governors of NV and MI are doctors? So, THAT’s how they can prohibit testing.

Irresponsible to offer “false” hope? How about irresponsible to foment hysteria and hopelessness with ginned-up false predictions?

I personally loathe the fact that the media is playing up the fact that this doctor is a climate skeptic, but you have to read halfway through the article to see this:

he is an influential virologist

And the article seems to be a hit piece on how this doctor opines on stuff outside of his field without somehow mentioning that is actually is his field that we are talking about, you know, the one where he is a very respected and influential virologist.

It also fails to mention other studies that support his position, his own acknowledgment of the need to get more data on these drugs, other countries doing trials, or anything that would support his position. Instead, the tone of the article is yet another "orange man bad, so what orange man say must also be bad."
