      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 …

      That's the 1 of 100 who would have died anyway, some would say and maybe he didn't get it early enough. Of course, watch expert opinion, which is we don't know, but IF useful, early, not later: https://twitter.com/JohnMashey/status/1245604261032898563 … a5

      a5/When has treatment horse left barn? EARLY: high viral load, not when people sickest, some therapies were helpful with SARS. LATER: those don't help much, maybe anti-inflammatories vs lung & heart injury.

      Absent good clinical trial evidence, "expert opinion" might as well be pulling it out of one's nether regions.

          Unless the expert opinion is “existing papers weak, we really don’t know, we need to do real trials & we’re working hard to set them up so we can better advise clinicians.” Which is what I see from @annieluet & co at @UCSF.

          I think it’s somewhat better than “I heard from my 2nd cousin that her best friend’s from high school brother in law used it”
