I agree with data from studies questioning the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine without health zinc and nitric oxide & vitamin D levels. I agree with data from studies questioning the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine when patients are too sick. I don't agree with overly-broad conclusions and I certainly don't agree with wasted time spent approving and writing up underscoped studied. Medical consensus on Covid treatment amongst professionals is overwhelmingly "we're not confident enough to develop changes in our practices based on current science and research. We need to see other professionals we trust, beyond journal editors, use the current science and research before we'll use it."

Medical research on HQC is laughable at best. The first reports from Wuhan talked about the efficiency of it as prescription drug. Then it appeared for a short while in their treatment plan, up to their 7th revision, at around Mid February. In extremely high dosis. At around April Europeans started trying it as treatment. Several studies appeared, the first French one being positive but the study itself was flawed. All other subsequent studies produced failures. But not a single study tried HCQ as prevention drug. Because that's how it works. That's btw also how those disliked presidents use it. The first such study just appeared today, from India. Of course it works as advertised and is now recommended prevention in India. https://www.icmr.gov.in/pdf/covid/techdoc/V5_Revised_advisory_on_the_use_of_HCQ_SARS_CoV2_infection.pdf https://www.icmr.gov.in/pdf/covid/techdoc/V5_Revised_advisor...
