HCQ
1.) does not prevent infection
2.) maybe prevents sepsis,,, don't know yet. no statistically significant studies. French Study threw out patients and now journal says,,, ruh roh.
3.) maybe keeps people off ventilator.
4.) Study of patients without pneumonia shows no statistical signficance...
So the problem isn't that I'm not a fan... I'm just not convinced, and do not see it as a panacea It might reduce the number of needed ventilators, but doctors need to figure out when to prescribe it, how much and for whom. That is not solved, and could take a while.... meanwhile we even if works,,, still dependent on global supply....
If worked,,, why not artemisinin, ivermectin,,, etc? why not being scoped out and tried in clinic yet? Maybe is,,, but even if,,, same issues as above. In all cases.... if raw materials only available in India/China,,, who is priority/not?
