I testified before @senatehomeland
They held a hearing on hydroxychloroquine.
Yup, HCQ
In the middle of the worst surge of pandemic
HCQ

I'm left pondering a quote from
@barackobama An idea any American, liberal or conservative, would understand "If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what’s true from what’s false... the marketplace of ideas doesn’t work.

It is stunning. In my circle I have anti-vaxers, covid deniers, anti masks, flagrant disregard for safety measures, .. college educated, smart business people, who disregard science. And more stunning don’t get the economy is tied to virus control. They literally don't get it.

I have always said it like when they see him talk they get hypnotized or something. I know people who weren’t fans and now would die for him... I know it sounds crazy but there really is no explanation for it.

I’m so sorry you were subjected to a complete circus. Anyone who has remotely been following the testing of pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19, knows that HCQ is completely useless. There were 10 RCTs under diff conditions showing no effect. Zero RCTs showing anything.

And several showing increased risk of dying of heart attack or stroke.

And Trump didn’t take it when he got sick, or we would have heard about it.
