Sure we do. “We” were all over it when a couple ophthalmologists at VA did a bogus study (that wasn’t). Surely, you’re not claiming that studies performed outside a hospital by a sole practitioner are without substance. He said his study would be available in the next couple weeks so shouldn’t we give him the benefit of the doubt? That being said there are some more credible studies (than those previously accepted) showing success by simply adding Zinc. trtworld.com medrxiv.org Not to mention too many governments around the world who are using HCQ+Zinc.

(reference page 36, Conclusions and Recommendations, of the WHO's paper entitled, "The cardiotoxicity of antimalarials.") who.int Best wishes, I2
