Tired of hearing about observational studies 5 months after CQ/HCQ was first reported as promising. RCT or GTFO.

- WilsonPaige 6y agoSometimes observational studies are all you have (especially early). 5 months out is very early. A good observational study can tell you more than many poorly-executed randomized double blind placebo controlled studies. You may see RCT come out in at best another year. OTOH you may never see good RCT's because... Pharmaceutical companies and their custodians, FDA CDC and WHO, don't prefer a cheap available solution. Yet the earliest hope, Gilead's remdesevir, has proven ineffective, less effective than HCQ+ZINC+ZPAK. The public is confused by the politicizing of this but all they need to do is "follow the money". There are not millions, not billions, but trillions of dollars to be made here. Everybody involved in vaccine research who is not a saint is trying to get rich off Covid-19 and if they can make a case to the press/congress/executive of the US goverrnment then they will be offered money to do so by interested parties. EXAMPLE: "The COVID-19 Treatment Panel of NIH evaded disclosure of the massive financial links of its members to Gilead Sciences, the manufacturer of a competing drug remdesivir. Among those who failed to disclose such links are 2 out of 3 of its co-chairs." the above quote is from: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/05/02/pseudo-science-behind-the-assault-on-hydroxychloroquine/ https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/05/02/pseudo-science-behind... for details visit: https://defyccc.com/covid-19-panel-gilead-ties/ https://defyccc.com/covid-19-panel-gilead-ties/
