Please, please please stop being retarded.
Please please stop calling people retarded when they point out plain facts.
The article quoted in the OP: "The American Journal Of Medicine Now Recommends HCQ For COVID19"
The original journal article: "Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection"
The facts:
"Dr. Joseph S. Alpert, editor-in-chief of the AJM, said the journal does not endorse HCQ treatment for COVID-19."
"This article does not mean the journal recommended this therapy," he said. "The authors recommended it just as others recommend other interventions. We just publish their findings and recommendations."
Alpert said the journal often presents multiple sides of a scientific argument.
"We have also published articles from other authorities that said don't use it [HCQ treatment]," he said. "This is still controversial with two sides saying different things. Often we have editorials that dispute the article's recommendations. We are a scientific journal and do not push or recommend any specific thing. The authors do that."
The article was put together last spring and was published online in August, all when Trump was still in office. When the article was submitted to the journal, Alpert said the data was controversial but not unreasonable at the time.
The article presents data from the time showing that in a test tube lab, the drugs interfered with the normal reproduction of the coronavirus. Therefore, the authors advocate for more testing into the effect of HCQ and other agents on COVID-19.
Alpert said the authors of the article were coming from a place of desperation, as the coronavirus continued to take more lives.
"You see this a lot in clinical medicine," he said. "When you're desperate, you say, 'Here are things that look like they worked in the laboratory and it may be worth trying.' But sometimes just because it has effects in a test tube, doesn't mean it always works in human trials."
