While @realDonaldTrump did supercharge it, the wholesale embrace of #Hydroxychloroquine to treat #COVID19 based on anecdotes was well under way before Trump noticed. That’s on us, as doctors. We embraced the drug and made it a de facto standard of care based on no good evidence. https://twitter.com/drfulli/status/1247432628401246208

I have never seen a greater failure of evidence-based medicine than the panicked, wholesale embrace of #Hydroxychloroquine for #COVID19 based on anecdotes, Chinese “expert consensus,” and a handful of the weakest, most flawed clinical trials I have ever seen.
