Dear Public #2: If you are still uncertain after the summary below, I'll put it this way: 1 group got the drug and 1 group didn't. One group had 1 death, 3 really bad outcomes (ICU) & 2 refused treatment. The other group had no deaths, bad outcomes or withdrawals. See #3

Dear Public #3: So, you see the results. Did you get it right which group got hydroxychloroquine? It was the group with the bad outcomes. No bad clinical outcomes among controls. How did they claim success then? See #4

#4 They used "surrogate markers" - that is outcomes that are often lab measures that may or may not correlate with important clinical outcomes. In this case the lab value was finding covid-19 in their nose. That's nice that it was cleared but if you kill the patient - not so good
