Remember Those Studies Linking Hydroxychloroquine to Higher Mortality in Treating Covid-19? They Were Based on Possibly Bogus Data

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 world’s 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 firm’s 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.

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.

Partner, we should always be watching these so called scientists to see if they are just peddling the DemonRat talking points.

Even The Lancet is starting to walk back that study.

Good thread with lots of quality recent papers & links, besides that one.

I think they knew that.

Bogus data from bogus, data from bogus data. The world has been fed a gigantic hoax. The sheeple bought it hook line and sinker.

“Unfortunately, many ___ have sold their souls.”

There, fixed it. It is not just scientists who have sold their souls. To my observation it is those who have believed the liberal lie. And those who are still hooked up to TV. When I tell someone that I don’t watch TV they act like I am crazy. My retired neighbors have their TV on whenever they are awake. Their only source of news is from the major Networks. They are painfully ignorant and believe they are above average intelligence. I can only visit them in short doses or I would go mad. One of their cats loves me, that is why I go over. It is a great cat.
