Well hydroxychoroquine is only useful before ventilators are needed (it attacks the full lungs) and is actually detrimental - we know that - after by its nature.
What kind of bad science is this study where you actually push patients through a known dangerous path to try to prove the non efficiency of a potential treatment.

I’m worried that this has totally left the realm of science and is just pure politics... there is no evidence for a ‘magic window’ for HCQ in COVID-19 treatment, or any solid evidence of a positive role. Secondly, having supplemental oxygen is not the same as being on a ventilator. I imagine most hospitalized COVID patients need oxygen (otherwise, they could be managed at home). I hope we all avoid making comments (or even accepting comments) about medicine without either critical, independent study or background knowledge.
