      This is what I warned about regarding all the premature hype over #Hydroxychloroquine. @EmmanuelMacron's hype has led to #COVID19 patients in France refusing to be enrolled on randomized clinical trials where they might be randomized to placebo. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/france-s-president-fueling-hype-over-unproven-coronavirus-treatment …

      I'm also going to say right now that I was sent a preprint of study currently undergoing peer review that suggests that, far from being effective, #Hydroxychloroquine might actually be harmful to some #COVID19 patients, at least critically ill ones. Stay tuned.

          Honorable Doctor Sir..curious though: are YOU personally treating any Covid19 patients? You are an Oncologist I gather. So pray tell us how many patients have you prevented from going to the ICU into a ventilator or got them out for there? Thanks.

          I am not sure of the relevance of this comment. If @gorskon was treating Covid patients, his anecdotes about such experiences would still not ourweigh what he is discussing here, which is actual research. Everyone who is competent to do so can read and critique the research.

          Given the cardiotoxicity of the drug and the putative cardio effects of the virus, I wonder if clinical trials in less sick patients makes more sense. I know that's not how it's usually done but would it make more sense in this case?

          Critically ill like this 77 year old father of an ER doctor himself who contracted #COVID19 and got cured with #Hydroxychloroquine. The senior was on ventilator for a week and got out within a day after he was given #Hydroxychloroquinehttps://twitter.com/tnarunagiri/status/1248724350414405632?s=19 …

          An ER doctor contracts #Covid19 and so did his 77 year old father. The father was on ventilator for a week...he came out of it after he was given #Hydroxychloroquine under careful supervision. Ofcourse the ER doctor was also treated with the same drug. https://youtu.be/lXCpNjl-YyI
