Health – Your comments using studies as proof of something should hopefully serve as a reminder to others the danger of people lacking the necessary schooling from interpreting results in scientific studies. I am not a doctor or scientist, but it is evident there are serious issues with the Wuhan study you refer to. You should be ashamed of yourself for using it to promote an idea that Hydroxycholorquine is an effective treatment (I am not saying whether it is or not an effective treatment, but you can’t make that conclusion on insubstantial data and studies).
The study you reference was done a short-time after a different study showing no benefit and accordingly given the small sample size in both, you can conclude that maybe there was a benefit, but you have no real evidence. The study you refer to also was initially intended to have 100 patients in the treatment and control group, but for some reason stopped at 31. How the study size came to be finalized can be a major issue. It seems that they recruited people and had results for a bunch of them before they finished designing the study. You just can’t rely on the results of this study. Maybe it is a basis for a further, properly done study, but for anyone to overly rely on this for a basis for treatment seems incredibly irresponsible.
