      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/ …

          The criminal part of this is the general public is unable to make the distinction and FOX et al presents it as a political issue. Since I refuse to accept FOX is unaware of the distinctions themselves, they are knowingly harming American people.

          No, it's not unethical. It's the "art" of medicine in a pandemic. "Evidence based" is great in non-urgent practice, but it doesn't negate experience. There isn't any evidence, other than anecdotal, including reports from Spain, France & Italy.

          Have we tried leeches? Anecdotally, they worked great in previous plagues. What do we have to lose?
