      Today was a very, very odd day I testified before @senatehomeland They held a hearing on hydroxychloroquine. Yup, HCQ In the middle of the worst surge of pandemic HCQ It was clear how our information architecture shapes questions of science and medicine of COVID A thread

      There were 4 witnesses. 3 who strongly supported HCQ They believed thousands of Americans were dying from lack of HCQ And then, there was me This split was not a reflection of evidence or the consensus in medicine It reflected ability of the majority to seat more witnesses

      The hearing was a testament to how politicized science has become I shared evidence of studies that have failed to find benefit of HCQ 3 other witnesses shared personal experiences And suggested my testimony was reckless because it would deny people access to lifesaving HCQ

          There was an attempt to make it personal I passed I’m not big on personalizing disagreement I am more comfortable talking data, evidence, science Their engagement with data was sparse And they were horrified that I disagreed

          Most shocking? @RonJohnsonWI, other witnesses essentially argued there is coordinated effort by America's doctors to deny patients HCQ Why would we do this? Because we’re in bed with Pharma A version of the anti-Doctor rhetoric from @realdonaldtrump, his "expert" @scottwatlas

          I tried to explain that doctors don’t want to kill their patients by withhold therapy But evidence matters They tried to flip the narrative: that evidence was misinformation And “art of medicine” was what mattered And most amzing? That @US_FDA, @NIH, Pharma were all corrupt

          On a personal note, it was disheartening to be personally attacked during the hearing By the witnesses, @RonJohnsonWI And on @Twitter during and after But you may be wondering What is going on? Why hold a hearing on HCQ in the middle of the worst surge of the pandemic?

          Why talk Hydroxy when so many Americans are dying? Because it was meant to push a narrative That masks and distancing don’t matter If you get infected – no big deal – take some HCQ Its stunning

          Your valid concerns need to be heard, but there is blame to go around with politicizing science. Media/Democrats/CDC were muzzled on school safety until suddenly a floodgate of statements poured out yesterday. What took so long? Why wasn't this being shouted from rooftops?pic.twitter.com/2YLNmV8G9X

          With a virus having a fatality rate of 1% or so, anecdotal evidence is absolutely worthless. Most people recover from the illness, so what good is an individual's claim that this drug saved him or her? The stupidity of Ron Johnson is never-ending.
