The Lancet paper that halted global trials of hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 because of fears of increased deaths has been retracted after a Guardian investigation found inconsistencies in the data.

The lead author, Prof Mandeep Mehra, from the Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston, Massachusetts decided to ask the Lancet for the retraction because he could no longer vouch for the data’s accuracy.

The journal’s editor, Richard Horton, said he was appalled by developments. “This is a shocking example of research misconduct in the middle of a global health emergency,” he told the Guardian.

IGNORE science because a study was faulty. Ignore media because a story wasn't correct. It's amazing how a certain percentage of our population wants to condition people to believe whatever they want to believe for purely political reasons.

How about view both with some degree of skepticism and common sense? Except the media, who lies so much that at this point it must be recreational.

What will your life be like when Trump is re-elected?

Answer: it will be much better. The sky only falls when it rains.

Turns out the paper that pretty much halted trials of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID was total bullshit. Not only was the data it was based on total bullshit, but there was no peer review process prior to publication, and the data and methodology were so bunk that the company behind the data wouldn't even submit to the peer review instituted after enough people called bullshit. But remember, TRUST THE SCIENCE!

And LTG, THIS is why I immediately question every study offered as evidence of a claim, and you should too.

That research always had me scratching my head. The drug has been approved fior use since 1955 and is widely used today. Maybe it’s not effective, but it is generally safe.

Wrong!

There have been many documented cases where it was shown to be very successful in treating patients, particularly if treated in early stages of the virus. This was a combination of some doctors and drug developers wanting their own drugs to be used because of the money that they'd be receiving and wanting to run hydro down because Trump was mentioning it as a treatment and the media didn't want it to work because Trump came out for it.

It may or may not work, but I supported people using it. I was surprised when news came out that it was unsafe. It is a widely used drug and has been for a long time. If I recall, it is available OTC in some African countries.

if hillary was president and said the same thing trump said about hydroclo she would be touted a genius.

Every American that wants a job will have a job.

Hopefully all of those assholes who said that they'd leave the country if Trump got elected in 2016 and didn't do it will instead kill themselves and make the world a better place.

Trump's second term is going to be terrific for the country. Think of the economy alone A big time raise in the standard of living. Every American that wants a job will have a job. And the removal of incompetent mayors and governors as people rise up and take the cities and states back.

Also, Barr and company are going to a house cleaning of the federal government corruption and the lifetime traitors within the justice department, FBI, and state department will be serving federal prison sentences.

Its going to be a GREAT FOUR MORE YEARS. Maybe they can bring Sheriff Joe back to run the Federal Prisons and put all of the treasonous Dems in pink work suits to work hard labor building roads and bridges.

Will there be mass suicide if Bunker Trump loses?

It doesn't matter who gets elected. The next decade will be brutal and filled with austerity measures. You don't run up a nearly $10 trillion annual deficit and then pretend things are fine.

Hopefully all of those assholes who said that they'd leave the country if Trump got elected in 2016 and didn't do it will instead kill themselves and make the world a better place.

No she wouldn’t because there’s no proof that it works. Anecdotal stories at best.

This is a good nomination but this is also why you don't rush through unproven treatments for diseases without clear evidence. Pretty much all the evidence for or against it didn't reach the standard you are complaining about not being met here.

Off-label use of a drug is very common. As denis said, this medicine has been used for 60 years.
