    These people are so full of Dunning-Kruger that an economic advisor like Peter Navarro thinks he can science better than Anthony Fauci.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1246939406876827648 …

    New: A huge battled erupted yesterday in the Situation Room between Dr. Fauci and Peter Navarro The argument was over hydroxychloroquine and things went off the rails when Fauci said most of the evidence was anecdotal leading Navarro to lose his temper https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-sneak-peek-c6325dc6-960a-41e3-8fe0-23ad9ec0471d.html?chunk=0&utm_term=twsocialshare#story0 …

        Clever tactic. Suppose 1% death rate, say 10 of 1000. Suppose 100% take HCQ, 1 dies from COVID, 1 from HCQ side-effects ... leaving 98 who can say "I followed Trump and was saved from COVID!" Wearing a red hat might work as well. Expect flood of anecdotes. http://web.archive.org/web/20150424120723/http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_21_2_braesch.pdf …

        Doc, how would a study work to test if HCQ is effective early on, but not late? Seems hard to do because so many people might have gotten better anyway, without drugs.

        It would have to be large, likely at least 1,000 subjects, although I haven’t some a power calculation.

        Not a fan of Trump but (1) Trials are ongoing (2) It is a crisis (3) Why not allow doctors to assess patient risks, explain lack of evidence & side effects (some serious) and let patients make decision? Trump should not give false hope, but informed consent is the main issue, no?

        Trump has made informed consent very difficult. He, @RudyGiuliani, and others hand basically been telling people it’s a miracle drug. It’s going to be VERY hard to persuade people to agree to possibly being randomized to the placebo control group.

        I prefer evidence based medicine. But when that fails I'll take anecdotal evidence over no evidence at all. I believe plaquenil & clindamycin saved my sis' life. I want to see more testing but I don't want ppl denied potentially life saving treatment bcz politics.

        Anecdotal evidence is often VERY misleading. There is also a human bias to attribute good outcomes to “doing something,” whether that something was responsible for the good outcome or not. That’s why we need clinical trials.
