>> HCQ will have definitive proof whenever the RCTs and the FDA say so. Until then, it's belief.

First, you must understand that the "RCT" is not the end-all for medical research. Sometimes, it just doesn't work. I would expect you do realize this.

Secondly, there are a couple of excellent recent studies, e.g.,

preprints.org

that clearly support the immediate use of HCQ as opposed to just letting patients die without treatment, which is what is now being done.

(Yes, Remdesivir is a good last ditch effort but the success rate is low and it is only applicable after the illness has been ignored until there is no alternative.)

HCQ with Zink & Zpak have a high success rate and and very low cost.

And the Henry Ford studies from a few weeks ago are pretty conclusive and should not continue to be disrespected by amateurs and those opposed on political grounds.

It is time for Democrats to stop killing patients. They've killed far too many already.
