Stop making everything about partisan politics. Some of us don't give a rat's @ass what Trump says. Tons of DOCTORS have said it works. I posted an article a little while ago which you totally ignored. I'll post it again.
I’m not making this about politics. Trump has warped this issue.
I’ve read this article and it’s got some problems.
This author quotes only positive studies, ignores all negative studies. That’s called confirmation bias. Furthermore, the studies he quoted are all observational and retrospective. Some come from questionable authors. This is a problem because since they aren’t controlled, they’re not great quality, but they’re good enough to warrant further investigation. So that’s what we did. We did a bigger, better, well designed prospective trial. That trial failed to show benefit.
The vast majority of the medical community moved on to other treatments with better data and hydroxychloroquine isn’t really used anymore. The medical community did this not because of politics but because that’s what the data showed.
Now, the medical community is not monolithic and there’s always dissenting voices and that’s okay. But the evidence as a whole is really not good for hydroxychloroquine.
