    They have not said that the study gave false cnclusions. They said that they could not independently verify the conclusions because they could not see the raw data.

    Err, you quoted what I said! Just for you: "They have not said that the study gave false cnclusions. They said that they could not independently verify the conclusions because they could not see the raw data."

    Which bit do you not understand?

    And yet again we see why science is the best way for mankind to develop, make a mistake and it will get picked up on and be retracted.

    I was at a food plant this week talking to the maintenance supervisor and he was telling me about company coming in to do a survey to recommend installing new UV lighting that can kill macrobiotics such as COVID. And if you think someone advise drinking Clorox you are sorely misinformed once again.

    Evidence? When's the court case? Meanwhile, no one has shown the conclusions of the study to be false. Where is the "evidence" it works?

    If my doctor ever prescribes hydroxy for me personally, then I will take the drug after he explains why he is still prescribing it despite the medical publications that demonstrate it has no benefit.

    No drug doesn't have "no benefit", some respond differently than others. For some, hydroxy might be the ideal, for others a different treatment might be key.(I personally think the blood plasma treatment is the one that deserves the most focus for long-term results.)

    And that's the route I'd go if I ever had COVID(The antibodies route.) Because I trust my immune system, it's never really let me down before so giving it the tools to succeed(the blood plasma) is a good bet.

    How slow are you! you've quoted what I say twice now! Just for you, once again: "They have not said that the study gave false cnclusions. They said that they could not independently verify the conclusions because they could not see the raw data."

    Which bit do you not understand?

    Yeah, life's a bugger isn't it.

    And yet, here's what happened today - from the Guardian: Hydroxychloroquine does not cure Covid-19, say drug trial chiefs
