      And here’s another idiotic #hydroxychloroquine cultist willfully misinterpreting what I mean when I say the evidence base for the drug is very weak and oppose its use off-trial.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/kevinjaixen/status/1249448276220432385 …

      So you will go on record stating that if you contract this virus, under no circumstances what so ever, that you are not to be given this drug.

      Yes, it is. Very weak. When you have no control group and 95% of the patients treated have mild to asymptomatic disease, you’d likely get results like this treating with a sugar pill. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

      Docs who’ve actually been using #Hydroxychloroquine to treat #COVID19 are less than impressed with it. For example, @umichmedicine has abandoned the drug and no longer uses it routinely because docs saw no evidence of efficacy, but they did see toxicity.https://labblog.uofmhealth.org/rounds/chloroquine-ibuprofen-and-beyond-doctors-discuss-latest-treatments-and-treatment-rumors-for …

      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

      I automatically assume that any Twitter account without a profile pick is either a bot or a troll, particularly when that account only had 5 followers. It’s a good rule of thumb.

          I’m not, I’m just lazy and use Twitter to read what the science people have to say. 😊

          I just starting using Twitter. Found Trevor Bradford's posts fascinating @trvb. Lot of real time information from some pretty smart people. I'm usually too busy clinically to spend time on social media

          But have you actually treated COVID19 patients to actually have a formed “opinion” that you feel justified in sharing with a gullible public.

          I've had my account since 2011, and have very few followers. I use my account more so to access info and comment. I don't care if I have followers, it's a way of freely expressing myself. And no, I am not a bot, but I can get bitchy 😋

          Not necessarily a great assumption, David. I’m an anonymous MD with less than 100 followers, and I don’t care if anyone follows me. I happen to be an introvert who lives in a small town, and the thought of my real name and photo out on twitter gives me the willies.
