Why is it important for you that we keep looking at HCQ? As more and more studies are released show its ineffectiveness, will you look for more and more obscure justifications? Why? Why not accept that HCQ is not an effective treatment? What is it about HCQ that gets you so fired up?
These are genuine, non-rhetorical questions. I presume you are a reasonably intelligent, rational person acting in good faith. I accept that you don’t see yourself as foolish or a nutball, and if I met you in person, we’d probably get along fine. So I am trying to bridge the digital divide and figure out what motivates you.
- throwawaysea 6y agoIt’s not about HCQ for me, although I’m sure many are driven by the politicization if it. It’s more about freedom of speech/thought/inquiry. Shutting down all research or exploration or discussion seems like an argument to blindly trust in the status quo and in agencies that can be wrong and have been wrong. I remember seeing the same thing in earlier days of COVID, where Medium would block articles from amateurs performing their own analysis of the data and research. Many of those articles were proven over time to be more correct than what the prevailing consensus was back then. It is important to allow speculative or early stage discussion to happen and I simply do not agree with large technology platforms exercising this degree of control over societal discourse, especially when things aren’t “settled” or fully understood.
