I got it wrong about something. It turns out that @TheLancet #hydroxychloroquine/#COVID19 study was likely fraudulent, thanks to a small, very dodgy company called Surgisphere. Here, I admit my error and try to set things right.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/06/05/surgisphere-debacle/ …

Finally, unlike some people who are wrong about something—cough, cough, Very Eminent Rising Star in Oncology—I'm not going to go back and delete my Tweets about this study, even though they now embarrass me. I understand the temptation, but I won't do it.

One more thing. There are still plenty of observational studies that strongly suggest that
#Hydroxychloroquine probably doesn't work against#COVID19. Even with the Surgisphere/Lancet study gone, that doesn't change. Wait for the RCTs, and don't use the drug outside of an RCT.Show this thread -
Also, I will block trolls and bots posting after this Twitter thread. I'll take my lumps for my previous error, but that doesn't mean I have to tolerate trolls and bots.
