Glad to hear this. Friends with doctors know that there is a biased campaign against its use, while doctors with actual patients have given it early on in treatment with good results.

The "studies" referred to, like the "famous" VA "study" was not even a study, it was done after the fact, without knowledge of timing, dosage, condition of patients etc by non MD people looking at statistics. But when statistics are not part of a study, control group, etc. you can't draw the conclusions accurately.

For example, the statistics may have shown that 80% of the people at the VA that didn't die that week had eggs for breakfast, while 90% of the people who died did not have eggs for breakfast. Does that mean that if everyone who ate eggs for breakfast would not have died? No, it doesn't, but that's the type of theory you could base on statistics alone.

Other "studies" show that the hydroxycloroquine was given only when the patients had advanced conditions from the virus because they didn't want to give it earlier and it didn't help. Surprise, surprise. Advocates of the drug have pointed out and MDs knew that it was most effective when given early or immediately upon diagnosis, but because of some, there was a lot of pressure not to give it early.

Fortunately, some doctors are basing their decisions on their experience and not politicians.
