Weeks ago a study claiming that the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine was linked to higher rates of mortality with coronavirus patients was based on possibly bogus data from a small America-based company called Surgisphere, reports The Guardian.
The World Health Organization and many national governments changed their policies and treatment guidelines based on this faulty study. Many in the media freaked out when Trump revealed he was taking the drug to protect him from the coronavirus.
A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.
Data it claims to have legitimately obtained from more than a thousand hospitals worldwide formed the basis of scientific articles that have led to changes in Covid-19 treatment policies in Latin American countries. It was also behind a decision by the WHO and research institutes around the world to halt trials of the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine.
Two of the worlds leading medical journals the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine published studies based on Surgisphere data. The studies were co-authored by the firms chief executive, Sapan Desai.
Both the Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine have since released an expression of concern (EOC) about the published study.

Fake science.
Yet there are many on this site who say we should accept this anyway and be good little sheep.
Rats, Leftists, and Globalists peddle a lot of fraudulent info in the name of “science”. Unfortunately, we taxpayers pay for a lot of that made-to-order “science” to convince us that their lies are true. Therefore, when any Democrat quotes a scientific study, I automatically dismiss it as a lie.
Unfortunately, many “scientists” have sold their souls.
No? Really? Tell me something anyone with brains didn’t know.
RE: The fact that so many bit on this without asking for any peer review
That’s the problem — The Lancet says it was peer reviewed prior to publication. Peer reviewed WHO ( not the organization, but it might as well be ) is the big question.
Any thing orange man approves is automatically bad.
It’s only a few who wanted HCQ to fail. Primarily bureaucrats, some big pharma types, and journalists in the West.
The rest of the world is using it and seeing good results.
The majority of Americans want it to succeed as an effective treatment.
It is similar to the “science” we see with climate change. Science has been turned into advocacy. In this case it is mostly because of “orange man bad.”
COVID-19 is and has been bogus from day one.
The real thing is who and what created the overwhelming response. I just can’t be convinced that it wasn’t pushed by someone or some group.

Let’s remind ourselves WHAT Fauci and Birx based their policies on -— Predictions from MODELS made at the Imperial College London and the IHME at the University of Washington.
The media. Terrorizing the average citizen is the media’s job and they are relentless about it.
They also did the Global Warming Database.
“...Its only a few who wanted HCQ to fail. Primarily bureaucrats, some big pharma types, and journalists in the West...”
When the domestic communists colluded and paid the CCP for the virus release, they also paid for the antidote: HCQ
The antidote was supposed to remain “quiet” and only for use by our DS communist ruling elites giving them immunity as the virus burned thru the “unwashed masses”.
The POTUS literally “let the cat out of the bag” and they went totally apeshit trying to debunk it every way they could. They needed to get as much mileage out of the paid-for, planned release as they possibly could. But it was too late: Plan B failed as well. So now we’ve moved on to Plan C: riots and mayhem.
HDQ is in the top 200 drugs prescribed each year.
Just survey users and see if ANY of them got COVID
Just like the FISA warrents.
And that bogus study was released by the WHO when the President announced that he was taking it. What a coincidence!!
Democrats would gladly blow up the sun if it will make Trump look bad
Your suggestion is a pretty complex theory that involves a lot of people and it would require a knowledge of the virus that did not exist.
I think the “orange man bad” is a better explanation of the ridiculous hysteria hoping HCQ would fail so they could badmouth Trump. It successfully explains a lot of what we are seeing with many issues.
In hindsight, our “experts” were wrong about pretty much everything about this virus except that the elderly with underlying health issues were particularly vulnerable.
“...In hindsight, our experts were wrong ...”
In hindsight, our “experts” did what they were paid and told to do.
They should be locked up in GITMO as domestic enemy terrorists.
