      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 …

      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.

      For the most part, I agree. The idea of using plaquenil & other immunosuppressants didn't originate with politicians. It came from desperate docs. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't. They'll come a time when we figure out why. In the meantime, we don't stop trying.

      There’s no good evidence that it’s ever worked. The “strongest” evidence comes from three clinical studies, all of which had serious flaws that make them uninformative.

          Also I'm just saying they never really gave a reason why HCQ should work. They're just like "here's some studies showing that re-purposing drugs works"...
