Given the controversy I will get more excited when the study is peer reviewed.

255 Isn’t exactly a large cohort.

There have been multiple contradictory studies about HCQ. It’s one of the biggest reasons why it is difficult for people to “trust the science”.

LaFayette, The China connection, HCQ... Hell, maybe Trump will be reinstated in August...

I want to believe. Given how much was handed out to so many patients it boggles the mind this isn’t settled one way or another.

Doctors routinely prescribed it down here, after the first weeks and when they could get the rapid tests. It seemed the key was to use it early and use it in conjunction with Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Pepcid and sometimes melatonin.
I'm not saying it was a cure-all, but the docs seemed to think it helped keep people out of the hospital. Maybe they were right, maybe they were wrong. But I think given at the proper time, in the proper dose, with the correct cocktail of drugs, there is some efficacy.
How much, is the question?

A Milwaukee Press Club event has landed Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., in hot water with YouTube.
On Friday, Johnson was slapped with a one-week suspension from uploading videos to YouTube after the company said he violated the website's COVID-19 "medical misinformation policies."
A YouTube spokesperson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other outlets Friday: "We removed the video in accordance with our COVID-19 medical misinformation policies, which don’t allow content that encourages people to use Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin to treat or prevent the virus."
According to a copy of its policy statement: "YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities’ or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medical information about COVID-19."
Johnson's office said the comments were flagged from his Milwaukee Press Club appearance on June 3, in which he criticized the Trump and Biden administrations for "not only ignoring but working against robust research (on) the use of cheap, generic drugs to be repurposed for early treatment of COVID."
Johnson's team posted to YouTube video snippets from the event. The clips have now been removed by YouTube, a Johnson spokesperson said.
In response, Johnson issued a statement blasting the website.
“YouTube’s ongoing COVID censorship proves they have accumulated too much unaccountable power," he said. "Big Tech and mainstream media believe they are smarter than medical doctors who have devoted their lives to science and use their skills to save lives. They have decided there is only one medical viewpoint allowed and it is the viewpoint dictated by government agencies."

No one outside of the US cares about the politics of Hydroxy. It is dirt cheap and plentiful and it would seem to me that if proven effective it would have wide acceptance outside the US.
I tried to look through clinicaltrials.gov to see where it stood but gave up because I only had a few minutes.
For the life of me I can’t tell if it’s bullshit or not.
