Replying to @simongrabowski
#Hydroxychloroquine was taken seriously as a potential#COVID19 treatment from Feb. until the negative randomized controlled trials started to be published. It became a de facto standard of care in a lot of places based on no evidence, as I write in April.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/hydroxychloroquine-ebm-sbm/ …3 replies 6 retweets 26 likes -
