"This collaborative meta-analysis of 28 published or unpublished RCTs, including 10,319 patients, shows that treatment with HCQ was associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients, and there was no benefit from treatment with CQ. "
I'll underline it again for emphasis: hydroxychloroquine is associated with increased mortality.
HCQ did its best to kill my BIL when it was used to treat his presumed covid- the 'perfectly safe' drug can cause heart issues and he came out of the first hospital stay needing heart valve surgery as soon as hospitals opened up for elective procedures.
Aside from the fact that the study is 15 (!!!) years old and talks about Cholorquine, you can't convince me that the anti-vaxxers, anti-science, MAGA folks actually read the article, much less understood it.
That's quite a leap to go from worshipping someone who suggested ingesting bleach to understanding this: "Under normal conditions, we observed two immunoreactive ACE2 forms, migrating at ~105 and ~113 kDa, respectively (Fig. (Fig.5B,5B, lane 1). The ~105-kDa protein is endoglycosidase H sensitive, suggesting that it represents the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localized form, whereas the ~113-kDa protein is endoglycosidase H resistant and represents the Golgi-modified form of ACE2 [19]. The specificity of the antibody was confirmed by displacing the immunoreactive protein bands with excess cold-soluble human recombinant ACE2"
Sorry, not buying it.
Well, if we were to judge who is correct by who constantly relies on degrading insults and unsubstantiated lies instead of provable facts and scientific studies then the VAX-hesitant are the automatic winners...

I'm sorry he was given an inappropriate treatment. I hope he is doing okay now.
Yes, yes it does. How many times has the virus mutated since that study 15 years ago?
I'm not saying that the study is not a good starting point, or doesn't have relevant information. I'm saying that resting on the laurels of a 15 year old study and implying that it's the "gotcha" is where the error is.
Well that and...again...I would wager many of the MAGA crowd here didn't read/understand the technical language, yet are implying that the study is the end all/be all. It wouldn't be so laughable but for the fact that they believe the guy who suggested ingesting bleach can do no wrong.
I'm going to need proof. A link maybe to him saying that? (I've heard what he said, and it wasn't anywhere near that)
There is a basic structural difference between primate and human cells and lab grown vs human cells.
BTW, NIH does not approve medicine.
Trump was taking hydroxychloroquine. It did not prevent him from being infected. He was not treated with hydroxychloroquine. Trump chose to vaccinate in early January, just 3 months after being hospitalized with Covid.
It's awesome how 20/20 hindsight can make anyone look like a genius. He was throwing ideas out that had been mentioned to him by medical professionals and scientists. Weird how THEY got the benefit of the doubt that early on but he is not only thrown under the bus but CONSTANTLY misquoted to make him look worse.
This is the truly remarkable thing about people still pushing hcq because they can’t admit Trump was wrong. The facts of his own case clearly demonstrated the ineffectiveness of hcq against covid.
Do you think he researched HCQ himself or was it brought to his attention by "experts"? Sometimes it's best to consider the source. Something you should be very familiar with when it comes to your guy.
So I wonder if Remdesivir and Ivermectin are also misinformation?
Duh, only Remdesivir works because it's very expensive.
