Sure. Not going to argue with the concept. Thing is, I don’t see why that would be superior to dexamethasone which is widely used after demonstrating benefit in a large randomized controlled clinical trial. Hydroxychloroquine is not a very strong immunosuppressant. If it has an effect, it is likely minuscule.That problem makes this paper’s interpretation garbage.Yeah, there’s a problem with that. The idea that you’re only treating the “early” patients means that the risk of that specific group is already far lower than average.The key to testing these substances is EARLY treatment, as soon as a positive test is shown, a fact which continually appears to go over your head.
OF COURSE.
So your solution is to treat nobody?
My solution is to not use drugs that have no efficacy.
There is absolutely way that any of the synthetic quinine products could be without efficacy for covid-19 treatment.
If nothing else, they are great for reducing fevers.
If the patient does not have over responses from the immune system that need suppressing, that has nothing to do with the fact quinine and its synthetics can help in those circumstances where the patient does have an over immune response.
