Time and time and time again, the official medical community kept telling us, over and over and over, that Trump was wrong about Hydroxychloroquine.
However, now that the election is over, they are finally
admitting that Trump was right.
This website tracks the number of people who died because of their delay:
Estimated number of lives lost due to incorrect HCQ advice
The estimated number of human lives lost from incorrect HCQ advice is:
803,673
based on a meta-analysis of all 24 early treatment studies and excluding areas already using HCQ. 100% of early treatment studies report a positive effect, with a 65% improvement in a random-effects meta-analysis, relative risk 0.35 [0.27-0.46].
That's not what I'm reading
Hydroxychloroquine has been a hot topic as a possible COVID-19 treatment. Questions also arose of if people already taking the drug would be protected.

“We found no evidence of benefit after adjusting for important differences in those who had received hydroxychloroquine compared with those who were not prescribed hydroxychloroquine. Completion of [randomized] trials for prevention of severe outcomes is warranted to support these observational findings,” the researchers wrote.
By and large, however, they concluded, “The use of hydroxychloroquine for prevention of COVID-19 mortality outside trial settings is currently not justified.”
And remember this. Back when Trump was suggesting this as a solution, Clinical trials largely found that the drug was not a viable treatment option.
