Aug 4, 2020 at 9:07 comment added user17561 @Shadur Except there actually was a sophisticated conspiracy to make HCQ look bad: theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/03/…
Aug 4, 2020 at 8:59 comment added Shadur-don't-feed-the-AI That site looks only slightly more professional than your average "9/11 was an inside job" or "Benghazi was a coverup" analysis site.
Aug 4, 2020 at 8:47 comment added user17561 @Shadur c19study.com actually tracks all HCQ studies, with or without the extras

Aug 1, 2020 at 18:37 comment added matt_black @MaxB why is it confusing to trust the clinical protocol rather than a 3rd party interview? Did your source have some extra insight beyond the media interview?
Aug 1, 2020 at 17:36 comment added user17561 @matt_black The "twitter" guy is actually an MD (who happens to have called out the Lancet study fraud earlier than most). I don't see what France Soir has to do with the issue. You seem very confused.
Aug 1, 2020 at 13:37 comment added matt_black @maxb While i'm sure France Soir and Twitter are totally reliable sources for clinical information, I read the actual study report and those claimed issues are clearly not what the study did. Check the sources not the newspapers.

Aug 1, 2020 at 1:25 comment added user17561 @matt_black I'm not confusing them. Again, see the link I posted. It links 2 tweets about the overdosing.
Aug 1, 2020 at 0:14 comment added matt_black @MaxB The point is why are there so few well-designed studies testing the idea of early treatment. Using careful randomised designs like Recovery. Recovery showed big benefits from dexamethasone and none for HCQ in hospitalised patients. That is a solid result. That's what I said.
Aug 1, 2020 at 0:10 comment added matt_black @maxb You are confusing Recovery with the withdrawn Lancet study which did seem to make that mistake. You should read the actual details.
Aug 1, 2020 at 0:10 comment added user17561 @matt_black Your point was "The same study saw no benefit for HCQ". Own what you said.
Aug 1, 2020 at 0:06 comment added user17561 @matt_black It's wasn't well designed, according to some docs. They confused HCQ with another hydro-something medication, when choosing dosage, and gave lethal doses to patients. See the link I posted.
Aug 1, 2020 at 0:03 comment added matt_black @MaxB Yes recovery was for hospitalised patients. But the point is it was a well-designed study, unlike most others. If HCQ works early then this sort of study should have been done in the same controlled way. Most of the studies with media attention have much weaker if not fundamentally flawed designs.

Jul 31, 2020 at 22:44 comment added user17561 @matt_black That one looked at hospitalized patients. As I understand it, COVID has 2 phases: (1) the virus is multiplying (2) immune system overreacts. HCQ/zinc is claimed to be beneficial in that first phase, while immunosuppressors in the second one.
Jul 31, 2020 at 22:35 comment added matt_black Links to various results of the Recovery trial including HCQ and dexamethasone
Jul 31, 2020 at 22:27 comment added user17561 @matt_black link?
Jul 31, 2020 at 22:19 comment added matt_black There are at least some good randomised studies on potential covid treatments. That's why we know dexamethasone (another cheap old drug) works. The same study saw no benefit for HCQ.

Jul 30, 2020 at 11:13 comment added bradbury9 You should not ask evidence against a claim, but evaluate the validity of the evidence that supports it. For example, the NYU study looks weird, I would assume randomized controlled trials are common practice in scientific method.

Quote claims. Given claims both include antibiotics, so include that in the question.
