      Of all the things that have become politicised during COVID-19, the weirdest is hydroxychloroquine It is just a drug. Not even a particularity special one

      As soon as Trump spoke positively about it, his political opponents came out against it, and will remain against it regardless of the data. Really not complicated.

      also it's cheap so there's no profit in it

      Yes, but cheap doesn't matter given it doesn't work. Repeated RCTs have shown no benefits. The evidence for it was only weak observational studies that at best should be treated as suggestive; now the RCTs are in, it's time to move on and look for other things.

      Dexamethasone is as cheap/cheaper and actually works. Free but useless is still useless!

          Yep, we are identifying several ways of treating the illness! So let’s wash our hands and go back to (mostly) normal life.
