Dr. Anthony Fauci called a study by Henry Ford Health System on the effectiveness of using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 "flawed" during testimony in front of a House subcommittee on Friday afternoon.
The study, which has been touted by President Donald Trump and other Republicans, contradicts other studies that found the drug does not effectively treat COVID-19.
Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer from Missouri, a Republican from Missouri, asked Fauci about the study and said that a doctor told him if zinc is involved, the drug would work.
Fauci responded by breaking down the study, saying it was a non-controlled, retrospective cohort study that had "a number of issues."
Those include, according to Fauci, the fact that people who received hydroxychloroquine were also using corticosteroids.
"We know from another study (corticosteroids) gives benefit in reducing deaths with advanced disease," he said.
"That study is a flawed study, and I think anyone who examines it carefully is that it is not a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Luetkemeyer interrupted Fauci, saying the study had been peer-reviewed.
“It doesn’t matter, you can peer-review something that’s a bad study," Fauci responded. "The fact is it is not a randomized placebo-controlled trial. The point that I think is important, because we all want to keep an open mind, any and all of the randomized placebo-controlled trials, which is the gold standard of determining if something is effective, none of them have shown any efficacy for hydroxychloroquine."

Ping as per your request
Thus sayeth the jagoff who thinks close quarter street rioting and sex with random strangers is just A-OK.
The warped pot calling the kettle black.
Didn’t Fauci heartily endorse HCQ years ago for SARS or MERS without a “randomized, placebo-controlled study?”
A ten dollar drug vs a three thousand drug...
If it does not work how come areas with malaria have less cases of the virus..????
Maybe someone should do a study
Have any of the ramdomized placebo studies used zinc with the hcq? Dr. Fauci is such an obvious phony.
This guy actually has the nerve to criticize a study because it is based on “non-controlled, retrospective” data?
Every statement he and his fellow government bureaucrats have made about COVID-19 has been based on infection counts and fatalities that are perfect examples of non-controlled, retrospective data.
The is a IYI and Trump got stuck with him..
The only thing that’s “flawed” here is the PIAPS-loving, little, commie SOB known as Fauxi. Belongs in a cell in GITMO as a domestic enemy terrorist, mass murderer and crimes against humanity, especially the USA.

Why, yes! Yes, he did!
That was before the ChiComs owned him/Congress/all of BigPharma.
“..Every statement he and his fellow government bureaucrats have made about COVID-19 has been based on infection counts and fatalities that are perfect examples of non-controlled, retrospective data....”
The little POS either, directly or indirectly, led the evil team that foisted this crap upon us. He is in the enemy camp and has been all along. Both he and Scarf need to be doing the rope dance.
FRAUDchi is flawed and compromised.
He refuses to look at valid studies.
He keeps the Karens and Keiths perfectly petrified.
All, while he awaits his CCP $$$
Except for the fact that Fauci the Fraud doesn't have an open mind. He conveniently forgets his own 2015 findings that Hydroxychloroquine was effective at fighting Covid-2 (a genetic relative to Covid-19) and has conveniently flip-flopped on those findings as well.
Fire Fauci.
With the enormous amount of anecdotal evidence all over the world, why has Fauci not instituted his placebo controlled study?
So where’s the randomized, control study on the effectiveness of MASKS, doc?
You can’t have it both ways.
He also said something like he has no horse in this race....
Then let’s let President Trump see your investment records and bank account records. Nobody else needs to see them.
Dr. Death, who has committed crimes against humanity the likes of which will one day - when sanity returns - (have no idea when that will happen) - make him out to clearly be the biggest liar/killer of all time. His crimes have brought death to multiplied millions.
Let’s see your financial records, Dr. Death
Dr. Fauci is flawed,,,,,Make HCQ and Zinc Sulfate OTC drugs and pandemic over,,,,,,In the meantime take a zicam twice a day................
Ditto the "studies" showing masks and other face coverings will prevent the spead of covid. But, they have no problems trotting out "the science is settled" line to support masks and shut-downs.
“Dr.” FauXi’s dared change the “diagnosis”
of HIS/Xi’s virus to SYMPTOMS.
why?
cui bono?
why is he free? to lie? and launch the next
“novel” Atrocity?
