Well, we know WHO is run by politicians. I'm not saying they are stupid, but they did cancel all their hydroxychloroquine trials because of the very dubious Lancet paper that was retracted a few days later for using fake data. Maybe these other doctors have seen some study data I haven't seen. They are certainly way more qualified than me. All I'm saying is I can read journal and preprint papers and understand them, I know basic statistics, and I have a pretty good grasp of the situation. And I have not seen proof.

But there are a huge number of ongoing trials. Sooner or later one of those will give us a definite answer. But hydroxychloroquine is such a politicized topic, I bet it doesn't happen until after the election.

It may be moot anyway: Quercetin plus zinc may be just as effective, and quercetin is an over-the-counter food supplement. Seems HCQ takes a few days to become available after you start taking it, so you might miss the time window in which it did some good. Quercetin has no dangerous side effects. I've been taking it every day for months now.
