      Because that's how we determine if a medicine is safe and effective against a given disease or not, by polling doctors.🙄😂🤦‍♂️https://twitter.com/IngrahamAngle/status/1246076250432712704 …

      Right now doctors here and abroad are saving ICU bed space and vents by using HCL on patients before they get seriously ill. “Hydroxychloroquine 'most effective' coronavirus treatment: poll” https://nypost.com/2020/04/02/hydroxychloroquine-most-effective-coronavirus-treatment-poll/ …

      Apparently @IngrahamAngle is unfamiliar with the cognitive biases, including confirmation bias, that lead people to conclude a treatment works when it doesn’t. Those biases are why randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials are ncessary.
