I would have to check the dates, and I don't have time for that right now, but the parameters that Didier Raoult suggested have been around since April or May I believe. In any case, the author of this piece is acting as a journalist, not a scientist, and he chose to select a poorly designed study that does not measure what he purports it measures. This negatively affects the public perception of scientific communication more broadly.
- fabian2k 6y agoThe first study by Didier Raoult did treat already hospitalized patients and it didn't use zinc. That is quite different than the parameters here, so Didier Rauolt didn't suggest anything like that initially.
- abecedarius 6y agoI know nothing about Raoult, but when I heard of hydroxychloroquine months ago, shortly before it became a culture-war football, it was proposed as above: early treatment, with zinc. (Azithromycin wasn't part of the idea as I heard of it then.)
