Hospitals in New Orleans have been using it in their COVID protocol since mid March.

The control group isn’t given sugar pills. Should be standard treatment vs new treatment option

It’s a meaningless study without a control group. The only conclusions you can draw from this is some people got remdesivir and some of them got better while others didn’t.

In normal times a paper like this gets rejected in 12 seconds by a journal of such repute.

Tell that to the HCQ Crew. This small anecdotal study is much better than anything I have seen for hydroxychloroquine. Most of the people on vents came off vents, and everyone who was in good shape before got better.

And yes, Trump shouldn't push this drug either.
