@torahvaluesoverparty The main study I was referencing is available on PubMed through the website of the NIH. Google the author’s names and nothing else and you should find it. A very similar study is also available on the Henry Ford Institute’s website.
how do you explain the media’s inability to point out obvious flaws in the studies discrediting HQC?
You know what, you’re somewhat right. There is a bit of suppression going on. I believe that it’s all part of the massive effort media companies are doing to try and stop misinformation. There is a ton of HCQ+Zinc misinformation out there with people calling it a miracle drug and stuff, so the media is suppressing it and only focusing on studies that show its ineffectiveness.
You know what? I agree with them. To extend your plane moshul, if someone picked up a loudspeaker and started talking about how it’s OK to take a hammer to the plane’s innards because there are enough parachutes for everyone, no one would argue against taking the megaphone away.
I can’t speak for the cancer medicines you mentioned, but for HCQ+Zinc there’s really only anecdotal evidence that it’s more than moderately effective. There were a few doctors back in March and April that treated a lot of people with this regimen, but they were working without hard data as to who had the virus and who didn’t and they didn’t publish the breakdown on exactly how many people were ill. These things are absolutely necessary to prove the effectiveness of a drug. You can’t just say “Well it may work, so let’s just give it to everyone”.
