      Here is an idiot. She thinks that because I point out that there's no good evidence that hydroxychloroquine is effective against #COVID19 it means I want no treatments and that because I warn that things are going to get worse it means I want more hospitalizations.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/DanaBFrench/status/1246988013428772870 …

      Stunning how you want higher hospitalizations and no treatment therapies.

      I think you mean well & want the best for everyone. I think your line of work has made you more risk adverse than others & you're not in the position where you feel the desperate need to do something. & that's a good thing. We need reasoned debate now more than ever.

      It has nothing to do with risk aversion. There is simply no evidence that hydroxychloroquine provides any benefit for people with COVID-19.

      I disagree. I followed those panicked tweets from China in the earliest days of COVID-19. I read the responses from docs across the world trying to stop & then prevent cytokine storms. That's where the idea originated & why the drug is still being tested.

      But you didn't actually look at the evidence, did you? Because if you had looked at it, you'd realize that the evidence base for #Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for #COVID19 is the thinnest of gruel.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/04/01/fda-eua-chloroquine-hydroxychloroquine-covid-19/ …

          I hope you understand that the daily death totals, no matter how horrific they may be, would not justify using a treatment that doesn't work.

          sir I think your the one who needs to look at the research and results and realize we don't have time to wait years on a clinical trial so we can take a drug that's been used safely for over 50 years

          I read the fields notes then the lit. I checked doc creds. I compared risk profile for plaquenil vs actemra vs kineret. I don't think the drug should be used prophylactically. I think it should be tried when symptoms warrant hospitalization.

          Again, hydroxychloroquine has not been shown to provide any clinical benefit. It just hasn't. Many institutions allow its compassionate use in some hospitalized patients, on the basis of in vitro studies that suggest the theoretical possibility of clinical benefit.
