The study that said hydroxychloroquine is bad turns out to have serious problems

The researchers claim to have gotten their data from a private company called Surgisphere.  But the data from Surgisphere, which as already admitted mixing up data from Asia and Australia, doesn't match with publicly available data from Australian hospitals.

Even better Surgisphere refuses to say which hospitals it collected data from.

But that's not even the biggest problem with the study.  The studies, and there are several of them that show hydroxychloroquine, in combination in many cases with an antibiotic, were for cases where the drug was given before the patient was so sick that they were in a hospital.  The study population however was much sicker with 3 times as many patients on ventilators as the populations used in other studies.

Instead of showing that hydroxychloroquine is bad at best, assuming the dubious data that was used is in fact correct, is that it's not the best treatment for people who are already amazingly sick.

The other studies show amazing results when the drugs were prescribed before the patients were extremely sick.

Why would anyone want to hide a cure?

Democrats want the country shut down and we the people to be suffering in hopes that we'll turn to big government Democrats in November like Americans turned to FDR at the start of the Great Depression.

If there is a treatment then the whole rationale for locking down everyone, even those under 55 for who the China virus is no more lethal than the flu, goes away.

Democrat politicians think your lives and economic well being are a small price to pay for them to get more power.
