h1/ Trump needs COVID Conqueror PR scheme for reelection:
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for masses, avoid controlled clinical trials.
Most people have mild cases or recover anyway, but many who take HCQ will swear Trump saved them,
although sugar pill might have worked as well.
h2/ Visual representation of COVID Conqueror scheme.
HCQ has side -effects, requires great care with dosage.
Real experts are very cautious, want trials.
Trump makes it harder:
Doctor: trial? We’ll randomly give you HCQ or placebo.
NO, I want Trump’s drug! (already occurred).
h3/ I’ve done follow-the-money exercises, with Trump always worth checking, don't think I discount that,
but getting reelected is worth FAR more than any possible $gimmickry with a few drug companies.

h4/ For real-time debunking of poor HCQ studies, follow for example: @Dereklowe, @gorskon, , @MicrobiomDigest, @RyanMarino & @schneiderleonid, who do great analysis.
But also learn about treatments, real trials and why they are so important not to let hopes fool us.
h5/ But here’s a good place to start, with Infectious Disease expert from one of our top medical schools, @UCSF’s Professor @annieluet, who runs clinical trials, unlike Trump or Giuliani.
She explains COVID treatments credibly and clearly. Watch.
