But....About 28% who were given hydroxychloroquine plus usual care died, versus 11% of those getting routine care alone. About 22% of those getting the drug plus azithromycin died, too, but the difference between that group and those receiving usual care was not considered large enough to rule out other factors that could have affected survival.

Researchers did not track side effects but noted hints that hydroxychloroquine might have damaged other organs. The drug has long been known to have potentially serious side effects, including altering the heartbeat in a way that could lead to sudden death.

But its not peer reviewed. Facts are facts, tramp should of never recommended it for days and days endless times, he quit talking about it a few days ago, I wonder why??

Oh, boldly-argued!
She is showing deference. She is great. Very logical. You don't want this to work? You would rather have people die, Pedro?
And she doesn't dispute the findings. Do you?
You know, you can keep your silly attempts to assign motivations or emotions to me. You're not qualified.
She certainly questions them and I do as well because everything else I have read says it does work and you can find numerous actual stories from recovered persons on the web, Miguel.
Anecdotes abound.
Actual stories. So you're saying those people are lying? Terrific.
I'm saying they're anecdotes, not evidence. On the subject, do you vouch for those actual stories? Do you know them by name and reputation?
I certainly do. Why would a Democrat rep thank Trump?
Explain it.

I suspect she wasn't happy she didn't die. Any fool will cast about in a time of stress. Maybe it helped her, and maybe not. You do know it's still anecdotal, don't you?
So when it doesn't fit your narrative that person is a "fool".
LMAO
If I am playing a sport and get winded. I drink Gatorade and I am not as winded. I need an actual study to show Gatorade helps or may I just use common sense? In her case the missing variable was the Hydrox. She used it and it helped. Sometimes 2+2=4. Don't overthink it, Pedro.
"Any fool will cast about in a time of stress" is a quote from a favorite movie. You're about the most delicate, sensitive defiler I ever saw.
To the point, you do know it's still anecdotal, don't you?
Your attempt at a Gatorade analogy doesn't create a transferable cause and effect to hydroxychloroquinine, but any fool would know that.
Except there are numerous stories such as hers and you just dismiss them because they don't fit your narrative.
Put it this way. My wife is on her deathbed, I tell the MD to give it to her. So I stand behind that I believe it does help many people and the side effect? Who cares, you're dead if you don't try it.
