I love how they forgot about hydroxychloroquine. Wasn’t that one supposed to be the silver bullet that big pharma was hiding?

- AndrewBissell 5y agoFun fact, the clinical trials for hydroxychloroquine were basically shanked by data which made it appear dangerous that turned out to be completely fabricated. https://www.the-scientist.com/features/the-surgisphere-scandal-what-went-wrong--67955/amp https://www.the-scientist.com/features/the-surgisphere-scand... As a standalone medication or one administered late in the disease hydroxychloroquine has not shown any real promise. When paired with TMPRSS2 inhibitors it may have some promise: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1009212 https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...
- HideousKojima 5y agoWell there was that study published in the Lancet dunking on HCQ using manufactured data that even made it past peer review. This despite the data failing the most basic of smell tests: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31180-6/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
