    I guess it's worth saying that there was nothing wrong with hoping hydroxychloroquine worked or thinking it was worth trying The proposed mechanism of action *makes sense*, the idea that how COVID-19 really kills you is a hyperactive immune system and suppressing it saves lives

        But the thing is that's what people thought about thousands and thousands of other "promising cures" in the past too The fact that it sounds like it may work doesn't mean it does work And desperate people saying it looks like it works also doesn't mean it works

        THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, is the thing Salicylate overdoses in the 1918 flu epidemic An incredibly similar narrative - aspirin is cheap, it treats diseases LIKE this all the time, it's a very old and well known drug, lots of people say it really helped them Why not try it

        And only in hindsight and with the ability to step back and look at the data can we say that it didn't work, the theory was mistaken and in fact more people died because of it

        Medicine is BY FAR the area where science has to be strict and harsh and cold as much as possible because the hunger for miracle cures is SO STRONG and because the human body is such a complex dynamic system you can find fake patterns in anything if you want to ("placebo effect")

        I think there would have been nothing wrong with accelerating some trials, or making "compassionate use" rules for it.

        I mean we did do that and that's how we got that disquieting VA report

        I read an article in March, so perhaps incorrect, that what was causing the "broken glass" effect and lung failure was the virus rupturing the cells lining the lungs. That's not an immune system response, that's the final stage of virus reproduction. This is not a normal virus.🦠
