    #Hydroxychloroquine for #COVID19 is like acupuncture. It doesn’t matter how many negative RCTs there are. Believers will continue to believe and point to low quality positive studies to justify their belief.https://twitter.com/dfreedman7/status/1286419674557755392 …

        Also, because, given a large enough number of clinical trials and the relatively generous o-value we accept for a “statistically significant” result coupled with publication bias, there will always be the odd outlier RCTs that cultists can point to. That’s coming.

        Hey hey now. With all due respect Dr Gorski. As a physiatrist I don’t knock acupuncture, many patients receive great pain relief w this treatment. It’s fairly well accepted. It has had years of successful use...just maybe not a lot of western peer-reviewed RCT studies.

        Yesterday, Raoult tweeted for the first time in two weeks... to congratulate himself that his paper has been cited over 1800x, and to pass on an "answer" to the replies that were published recently: https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Response-to-Mr.-David-Spencer-ELSEVIER.pdf … How ludicrous this circus is getting...

        What's your take on using placebos to reduce the use of harder and more toxic drugs?

        Acupuncture cultists are very persistent and determined, that’s why.
