>> You keep asserting that HCQ is only effective when it is used early. Then you tout a study that claims it is only effective when used late. All of the studies I've seen so far on it have been observational studies (including the one in that post). Which in other contexts you rightly say are far from definitive. You're stupid. I heard some idiot try to make the same case against Rancourt in a debate last night. He was stupid, too. When I think of it, the guy was sort of like you trying find a "gotcha" moment in something I said, and have to make shit up because he couldn't, just like you. Apparently, you don't grasp the difference between an observational study and a RCT. "Researchers and organizations often use evidence from randomized controlled trials ( RCTs) to determine the efficacy of a treatment or intervention under ideal conditions, while studies of observational designs are used to measure the effectiveness of an intervention in non-experimental, 'real world' scenarios." These both provide important information about different kinds of things. In observational studies, you're not giving a treatment, you're just looking at what happened. It makes it difficult to understand what you're point is because YOU don't understand what your point is.
