Doesn’t a clinical trial require a control group? How does one determine the effectiveness of HCQ versus no treatment?

The poor suckers in states where governors have all but banned the use of HCQ are the control group...

The control group is the 49 states that aren’t doing this.

According to
this related article from Sanford Health, there will be a placebo control group, at least for the prophylactic study.
Sanford currently has clinical guidelines in place to prescribe hydroxychloroquine to hospitalized COVID-19 positive patients. Sanford has developed this new randomized placebo-controlled research study to investigate prescribing hydroxychloroquine prophylactically to health care workers and high-risk populations who have been exposed to the novel coronavirus. The prophylactic treatment trial is designed to determine whether the medication can prevent the illness or minimize symptoms in these individuals.
