if more and more people are using something... like Plaquenil, would the government not pay a 3rd party to do a trial on it, just to have a definitive answer to the use of that drug?

The few Medical Doctor's I'm close to wouldn't deviate from what the CDC recommends, but I would assume there are enough Medical Doctors in the US that might use Plaquenil without a CDC recommendation, that might set a study into motion?

But of course back to my above post, especially if it does cost a lot of money, we won't ever see a double blind study for Plaquenil from Novartis when they are already profiting from free publicity.

I think that's where the NIH would fund a study. But in the absence of that it appears that are still larger scale ongoing studies of hydroxychloroquine around the world (one in particular in Australia). And yes, it does also appear that some places are prescribing it off label as essentially a "hail mary" for critically ill patients.
