Lancet formallly retracts HCQ study
2020-06-05
[NBCNews] "It's not that the analysis itself was done wrong," Culver said. "It's just they don't have the data in that database to account for what they need to account for."

"A first-year statistics major could tell you about major flaws in the design of the analysis."

India's Study of HCQ:works very well as a prophylaxsis for health care workers
from the abstract:
[Indian Journal of Medical Research] Consumption of four or more maintenance doses of HCQ was associated with a significant decline in the odds of getting infected.
IMO - a few minor flaws in the study but the significance of the findings outweigh them by far

#10  New England J of Medicine has retracted its hcq study. The study used as a data source the same sketchy company that the lancet study used but no formal statement from the NE J of M is available yet.

#9  the Oxford study on HCQ was for people already hospitalized

other studies have also found hcq isn't the right treatment for those people

hcq is, per the Yale study, the right treatment for outpatients, that is people who are positive and have mild symptoms - the point is to keep people from being hospitalized

#7  ^ Another hit job. Results were not due until July. They rushed this to coincide with the Lancet pulling its fraudulent paper.

#1  a dose-response relationship existed between frequency of exposure to HCQ and such reductions.

The thing to look for when establishment fakes clinical trials.
