      Given that the estimated infection fatality rate for #COVID19 is probably less than 1%, how on earth does he know he wouldn’t have gotten the same results without his “protocol”? Answer: He doesn’t. He’s a hack and a quack. https://twitter.com/zev_dr/status/1280510013291757570 …

      Noting the fatality rate is based on ~30% asymptomatic (which he never sees). He actually seeing the other part of curve. And he’s getting good results.

      You’re a bit behind my friend. You must be thinking of the trial which was retracted -LOL. The first real RCT shows this, which the Dr is ignoring. surprised? not https://sharylattkisson.com/2020/07/breaking-hydroxychloroquine-lowers-covid-19-death-rate-study-finds/ …

      That's a retrospective, nonrandomized trial. It does not trump the existing randomized controlled trials that have been published thus far, both of which were negative. Once good RCTs are published, retrospective trials like the one you cited are pretty much worthless. 🙄🤦‍♂️

      I love that the “golfer” and “tennis player” is telling the dr what works

      I’m not telling anyone what works (or not). Please point out where I did that. Just pushing them to look at data/studies -that haven’t been retracted- instead of preconceived (likely political) biases that cloud their thinking/judgement

      Pulleez. I’m a-political. I point out hypocrisy. Many on this thread trash HCQ at the drop of the latest “soon to be” retracted study. It’s really too much to watch without commenting of the childishness. Med pro or not-I don’t bow to authority

      Nobody is entirely apolitical. Nobody.

          Ahhh. You got me. I’m libertarian if I had to pick something. But I refuse to align with R’s or D’s as much as they try to make it a binary choice
