While most doctors are intelligent, objective and science based, there is a significant minority of morons.As to HCQ, I spoke with a physician from a major NYC hospital involved in the largest HCQ study. Being intelligent and objective, he wasn’t about to make absolutist statements. But he did indicate they were seeing no benefit at all in hospitalized patients. He could provide no definite opinion as to whether it could provide benefit in an “early Covid” patient but he doubted it — there is no scientific basis to believe it would provide benefit. No more reason to believe HCQ would have benefit than aspirin or bubblegum.The good news is there are some therapies, including Remdesivir, which provide some benefit. And protocols are improving, increasing survival rates. With better treatments, mortality rates will decline.
