Liberals here have never tired of citing the Lancet study on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which reported a high failure rate as a treatment for COVID-19 and which led the WHO to halt its trials of the drug, even though scholars warned that the study was badly flawed because it only considered inpatient use/advanced-stage use of HCQ. Well, anyway, the Lancet has now retracted the study!
Medical journal retracts hydroxychloroquine study that led WHO to halt drug trials

The whole story shows how politicized the Medical Field is nowadays.
You have doctors prescribing dangerous hormones to little boys who say "I am a girl".
You have doctors hiding the link between Abortion and Breast Cancer.
You have doctors reclassifying sodomy as "Normative" and no longer an illness or a perversion, due to PC.
You have doctors diagnosing little boys as "ADHD" and/or "autistic", so they can keep them loaded on Ritalin and make them easier to deal with by the teachers unions.
Most of the medical fields are really not politicized, but this one is for good reason.
Laura Ingraham was the first to report on this drug having positive results with Covid. Trump picked up on that and promoted it's usage along with her. Hydroxychoroquine then became the Trump drug.
Whether it works or not is irrelevant. It's the idea that nobody on the left will allow the President to take any credit for promoting it's success. While it does not work on everybody that takes it, and has some minor side effects on some people, it the drug had 100% effective rate, the Democrats would still be against it.
Trump promoted the drug--Democrats politicized it.
