🚨BREAKING: #Hydroxychloroquine study halted early after NO BENEFIT was seen:

▶️1542 patients randomized to #hydroxychloroquine vs 3132 patients to usual care
▶️No significant difference in 28-day mortality (25.7% #hydroxychloroquine vs. 23.5% usual care)

"There is no beneficial effect of #hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalized with #COVID19...These data convincingly rule out any meaningful mortality benefit of #hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalized with #COVID19." ~@UniofOxford researchers

This latest study of #hydroxychloroquine is very convincing. The drug is NOT EFFECTIVE for the treatment of hospitalized patients with #COVID19.

These results on #hydroxychloroquine on hospitalized #COVID19 patients, along with data from a study of non-hospitalized people exposed to #coronavirus ("post-exposure prophylaxis") are VERY convincing: #hydroxychloroquine does NOT work to treat #COVID19.

🚨Cases of #coronavirus have INCREASED in 23 states, DC and #PuertoRico compared with the prior week—most by 10% or more.

This new surge of #COVID19 cases stems from viral transmission a few weeks ago (#MemorialDay) — NOT this past week. 1/

Why this new surge of #COVID19 represent #coronavirus transmission from a few weeks ago:

▶️Median of 5 days after infection before 1st symptoms
▶️Typically another ~week before a person gets sick enough to seek testing
▶️Days before results reach public health departments

2/
Up to 60% of #coronavirus cases are asymptomatic. Many who traveled on #MemorialDay weekend, as well as those who are protesting, are young and less likely to develop serious #COVID19 illness.

Even if they never show symptoms, they can infect others at high risk.😰

🔥After Trump posted “when the looting starts, the shooting starts," 5,500 @Facebook employees demanded of Zuckerberg: “Can we change our policies around political free speech? Fact checking and removal of hate speech shouldn’t be exempt for politicians.”

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Zuckerberg said Trump's post didn’t break Facebook's rules on inciting violence, which sparked widespread anger within the company. Three high-ranking employees QUIT in protest and others complained about the post on rival site @Twitter.💥
In addition, dozens of former employees signed a letter critiquing Zuckerberg's decision, saying it was a "betrayal" of Facebook’s early ideals.

Employees also questioned whether Facebook was in an “abusive relationship” with @realDonaldTrump.🔥

⚠️The authors of @TheLancet paper reporting dismal results about the use of #hydroxychloroquine to treat #COVID19 have retracted their report after the holder of the database refused an independent review of the data, putting the data into question.
nytimes.com/2020/06/04/wor…
Here are details on the study that was retracted.👇🏼

Importantly, a different study — randomized, placebo-controlled trial of #hydroxychloroquine (GOLD-STANDARD design) — showed ZERO benefit of the drug to prevent #COVID19 in people exposed to #coronavirus, the LOWEST bar to show efficacy.💥
