The jury is in on Hydroxychloroquine – ‘it saves lives’
Lou - you keep on posting these videos, which I have no time to read and anyway from past experience have found usually contain PR, not new facts. If you can find equivalent written links it would be more helpful.
Anyone can speculate that there are biases in regulatory systems. I sort of agree - HCQ was originally (pretty clearly) pushed in the US and France for political reasons only. Since then it has become such a political hot potato in the US that it is difficult to know.
Also, if you think about it, all regulatory systems are calls made on basis of judgement - often there are good arguments on both sides and it is a narrow judgement. That applies to Remdesivir, where the evidence for using it was very weak when it was allowed, and HCQ, the same. It also means that biases are inevitable, no such judgement is perfect. But, good systems rely on professionalism and people who are not corrupt making the judgement. I think that is usually the case in most countries for these medical judgments. maybe not Russia. maybe not the US under Trump.
