“but you have made two very cofounding statements nevertheless.”
No I have not
I repeated the same thing in various iterations over and over.
The question was “Does anyone understand why doctors don’t want to give hydroxychloroquine even though it is working throughout the country ”
I replied that there is no reason for doctors to prescribe a medication just because one guy claimed anecdotal success.
I also said If a doctor thinks his patient will benefit from a medication he absolutely should prescribe it.
I have repeated various iterations of the above now fewer than 29 times in this thread alone (see separate post)
“Also, you made out they were randomized in all respects, they were not”
I don’t think yoou know what randomized means. they were NOT a random sample, they were randomized to treatment or placebo .
“So biased candidates for study., may give a biased result.”
Of course! Though not really “bias” what you mean is is this group generalization to the general population? perhaps not.
“Re: self distancing-because, the population was told to self-distance to save their lives, but the study group did not.”
Unlcear how that would change the effect of HCQ. They weren’t being compared to “the general population” comapring to similar patients who did not self distance and id not get HCQ
