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.

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.
