      While @realDonaldTrump did supercharge it, the wholesale embrace of #Hydroxychloroquine to treat #COVID19 based on anecdotes was well under way before Trump noticed. That’s on us, as doctors. We embraced the drug and made it a de facto standard of care based on no good evidence.https://twitter.com/DrFulli/status/1247432628401246208 …

      Here you are with “Many MDs are stupid about #guruRaoult #covid19 Rx.” : https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN21O2VO?__twitter_impression=true … via @schneiderleonid which I recommend to follow for bravery vs powerful fraudsters on universities payrolls & a great German sense of irony. NB: If you can, sponsor him financially.

      I have never seen a greater failure of evidence-based medicine than the panicked, wholesale embrace of #Hydroxychloroquine for #COVID19 based on anecdotes, Chinese “expert consensus,” and a handful of the weakest, most flawed clinical trials I have ever seen.

          Silly boy, I’ve already looked at Zelenko’s “evidence.” It shores nothing and what he’s doing is highly unethical.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/04/03/zelenko-smith-abandoning-evidence-based-medicine-for-covid-19/ …

          ...and once the genie is out of the bottle its hard to get it back in. Practitioners will be forced to use it. Otherwise hysterical relatives/patients/insurers will accuse them of not having done anything they could have done not matter the evidence.

          What was frustrating, was watching people like Elon Musk, promote its use, 17 Mar. Had he bothered to actually read the papers he was citing, it clearly stated that the recommendation was based on *weak evidence*, ....,*not* to be used with young..., *potentially harmful*, etcpic.twitter.com/GgJx98PIKL

          Might be worth mentioning that as far as anyone can tell, either there's some translation errors or they're using *3x* the highest dose I've heard anyone else use. All medicines are poisons.

          You may not make difference between scientific approach in standard cases and whenever there is an ongoing war. Empiric results (just like it used to be the case historically in science) are to be taken into account, eventhough it need confirmation

          Please, if you're going to spout nonsensical Raoultian propaganda, at least make the effort to do so in legible english.

          It is now Schrodinger's Medication, to be used as (a) a last chance for patients on incubators ("what do they have to lose?") AND (b) a prophylactic for mild cases, or no symptoms at all ("tests on advanced cases don't work because it's already too late")
