That is what Fauci is grousing about. Actual decent controlled studies are underway. That is what Fauci is waiting on.

So folks can die in the meantime

Honestly, the studies so far are crap. They are. Doesn't mean hydroxychloroquine is not efficacious. It just has not been proven as such. That is what Fauci is grousing about.

He's super intentional with his words which makes him difficult to interpret if you aren't used to listening/reading people who talk like him.


I agree, the data aren't great as it stands right now. We won't really know much of anything until well after the fact. Most critical care anecdotes I've heard (and these are guys I personally know, for the most part) aren't impressed with their results. Most of the NOLA guys I'm still in touch with don't see a big difference earlier on in the ones who got it vs different from what they've told me so far.


I guess they were right. Experience isn't something you can have until just after you need it.

And that’s a problem with the medical community in a crisis. Yea... if this was about the common cold we need to wait for a study.

But I bet you walk into a patient’s room who is about to go on a vent and ask if they want to try it, but but it’s not been studied, then they would say “IDGAF about a study, let’s get started”
