I keep hearing from certain doctors on TV, that it’s only “anecdotal” evidence that hydrochloriquine(sp?) and a Z Pack and Zinc are effective against the virus.
I understand in their world, that they normally perform double blind clinical studies of medications, before they certify that medications work against diseases or bacteria or viruses.
This is a situation in which we don’t have time to do the clinical studies and all that, in order to officially medically certify a course of treatment with these medications.
Of course, let’s do the studies, but while the studies and trials are underway, let’s allow doctors to prescribe hydroxychloriquine(sp?) if in their best medical judgement, it would help a particular patient.
Anecdotal evidence is OK for global warming/climate change “science.”
Should be OK here, then.
A new model needs to be developed for studies like this. The old model was ok for a different world, without AI and other advances. The current model could be likened to still trying to connect to the internet with dial-up and modem.

Penicillin was only “anectdotal” at one point too.
