What were the patient characteristics? Were they people who are championed by this board as being asymptomatic because they don’t have any underlying conditions and Get better with nothing?

I don't have a link that states what each patient's "characteristics" were, but given the hundreds of patients tested, just by the New York doctor, it's safe to assume they have many differing characteristics. Which is how you want to test any drug.

ike I said earlier. There are studies that champion it as a 100% cure and studies that say it doesn’t do anything

Link? I haven't seen any "study" saying it doesn't work. Only butt hurt doctors giving opinions that it won't work, because Trump said it would, and they can't allow themselves to agree with anything he says.

Has Fauci prevented patients from getting it? No. Has Fauci made the FDA not give approval? No. He just hasn’t said that this is a miracle drug

He can't "make" anyone do anything. He's a mouthpiece. His job is to give facts, and to try to keep the public calm. He is short on facts, as he continuously parrots WHO statements, which are constantly being debunked. And instead of saying "we believe that hydroxychloroquine can have a huge impact, and we're very encouraged", he goes "eh, we don't really know crap about it. There's a possibility, but I wouldn't get too excited".

Even though every report from around the world has said either 100% success rate, or close to it.

You would be surprised. There are many times where studies on drugs get pumped full of patients to get a number and outcome that they desire. Until there is the data that can be reviewed its purely anecdotal and nowhere close to definitive

I linked on earlier in this thread. Came out of France same as the initial one. Started treatment well before intubation. Once again. Small study, non randomized. Anecdotal data. Maybe its right, maybe its wrong. We don’t know.
