Il est réellement dommage que le bordel #Raoult ait pris cette ampleur. Car au delà des dégâts directs que cela a entraîné, notamment sous la forme d'une possible perte de confiance dans la science et les scientifiques, il y aura eu des dégâts collatéraux... Et plus graves. 1/4

368 male Covid-19 patients were included in a nationwide study by the VA.

97 received Hydroxychloroquine.

113 received Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin.

158 received neither.

How many died?

Neither drug: 11.4%
Both drugs: 22%
Hydroxychloroquine only: 27%

meanwhile, when we have political leaders who don't understand science and the necessity of randomized clinical trials to demonstrate safety/efficacy...

here's the link to the clinical trial on hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin... NOT randomized, NOT blinded, only N=6 pts treated with combination treatment = take the results with a HUGE grain of salt
