The Minnesota study shows that hydroxychloroquine does not prevent covid19 infection when taken after exposure. This is a useful result, but it's not what we've really been wondering. The question of whether HCQ, possibly in combination with antibiotics or zinc and administered early in the infection, reduces the likelihood of getting a serious case. The Minnesota study has some methodological issues, as well as not enough patients, that made it impossible to draw conclusions about this. Hopefully, future RCT studies will illuminate this as well. Unless the Lancet paper has poisoned the source of candidates for the study enough that it will be impossible to recruit patients.
