My worries?

- partisan objections getting in the way of factual data..this article had quite a bit of the former, lacking in the latter..

- profiteering; squashing investigation of one cheap option, favoring an option with exclusitivity, due to Pharma vested interests. https://twitter.com/headdock/status/1248296909128773634">https://twitter.com/headdock/...

Its notable, while CDC withdraws
advisories to providers how to use HCQ, a drug with known safety profile (in spite of scaremongering article list of side effects)

Gilead& #39;s failed Ebola drug has it& #39;s issues, and unlike HCQ, no history of successful use in millions of patients (I personally used HCQ in a trip to Manaus in 2012, and last 7 days with a Z-Pak).

A less partisan view might make some a little skittish... https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2020/03/13/gilead-coronavirus-covid19-clinical-trials/">https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot...

New paper about a Gilead drug to combat coronavirus has analysts skittish

“We continue to see a less than 50/50 possibility that the drug is ultimately proven effective," wrote RBC Capital Markets analysts about a new paper.

So, its scary to read Dr. Fudin& #39;s one-sided article, seeming to torpedo HCQ more on partisan politics than factual data.

I personally have more fear of a Pharma behemoth steamrolling THEIR solution.

Orange Man Bad.

We gather that from your article Dr. Fudin.

Unfortunately, lot of factual data ignored, some inflated..

..while huge elephant in ICU, arguably screwing more than orange man EVER did, is given full access to yet ANOTHER adventure in deadly disease profiteering.

The tweet for those poor blocked souls...

And link to the article for those same souls. Typing in web addys is so tedious.
