Hydroxychloroquine

[Pat Mustard]

The doctor from Marseille treated 80 Covid-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine and is claiming a 93% success rate.
No one else has been able to replicate the results, and I'm not sure how exactly you get 93% from a sample size of 80... He cured 74.4 people?

Trump of course has jumped on this as the answer to life the universe and everything resulting at least 2 people killing themselves in a case of self medication... with fish tank cleaner that happened to contain the stuff...

He actually claimed 100% success originally, by not counting the three people who died and one person who entered a coma in the treatment group because they didn't finish the treatment course.

It's a well known fact about small treatment groups that they'll throw up anomalous resuts frequently. Add in a doctor with the morals of Andrew Wakefield and you get this study.

Glad Trump pointed out hes not gonna be responsible for the consequences, particularly after he told people "take it, what do you have to lose? Take it!"

Maybe a deal could be reached - Trump won't practice medicine without a license and doctors won't tell him how to fuck up a pandemic response.
