    That's nice. Unfortunately, in science, belief matters not at all. Evidence does, and right now the evidence is definitely strongly trending in the direction of supporting the conclusion that #Hydroxychloroquine most likely does not work against #COVID19 but does cause toxicity.https://twitter.com/AndrewRessMD/status/1249481126537768960 …

    Everyone's too easily offended these days. In my opinion I believe that hydroxychloroquine works. The real question is what is the right dosing and length of treatment. Plus adding azithromycin without active pneumonia is a Bad Idea. Added risk of cardiac complications. And me=MD

        In vitro works well at right dosing. We need real data from areal study. "Belief" in layman's terms= hypothesis. Just that. We are mostly all in agreement.

        Belief is not a hypothesis. That is absurd.

        Everyone should believe in something. In this case, I believe I'll have another beer. Except alcohol sales are not allowed during lock down in South Africa. So that will also have to wait. Like a treatment for this.

        Almost exactly what i was going to say. Pls fellow MD's: we are doctors, trained in science, adhering hopefully to EBM in practice. Some researchers, some not, but we all need to be respectful of the right way to "do science" and not get sucked into hunches like Trump.

        Now - here’s another approach - alternate drug delivery method to reduce systemic toxicity (think pentamidine) - super easy RTC to do on ventilated patients - https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202004.0090/v1 …

        15 years ago they tried this for asthma and rhinitis and copd - it is technically feasible - phase I trials done - if HCQ has any merit it might be easier to show benefit by delivering drug to site of action? https://rctech.com/apt-starts-human-trials-aerosolized-hydroxychloroquine-asthma/ …
