Researchers on Wednesday published scathing critiques of a study President Trump repeatedly touted on Twitter. That study, published earlier this month in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, claimed to show that hydroxychloroquine saved lives. President Trump tweeted about it enthusiastically. "The highly respected Henry Ford Health System just reported, based on a large sampling, that HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE cut the death rate in certain sick patients very significantly. The Dems disparaged it for political reasons (me!). Disgraceful. Act now," the President tweeted on July 6. But the study had multiple errors, flaws and biases, according to letters to the journal's editors. As a result of the flaws in the analysis the conclusions reached in [the study] are invalid," Graham Atkinson, an independent consultant in health care policy, wrote in one of the letters.
In a letter to the editor titled "Clarifying the record on hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19," researchers at the University at Albany said the group that received hydroxychloroquine might have fared better because they were healthier to begin with and received more aggressive treatment. For example, the patients in the Henry Ford study who were given hydroxychloroquine had fewer risk factors for heart disease, the Albany researchers, Eli Rosenberg, David Holtgrave and Tomoko Udo, wrote in their letter. Also, the hydroxychloroquine patients were more than twice as likely to be given steroids, a treatment known to be effective against Covid-19. The Detroit study was not a randomized clinical trial, which is considered the gold standard in medicine and helps avoid these potential biases.
Researchers publish scathing critique of a hydroxychloroquine study touted by the White House
It seems the Detroit hydroxychloroquine study Trump touted has numerous systemic problems according to researchers.
And water is wet.

yawn...
Got to keep the COVID fear alive...for reasons that are obvious to some...beyond the intellectual capacity for others.
The families of the 150,000 dead Americans disagree with you that covid is a hoax just to make Trump look bad. Do you ever get tired of dismissing dead Americans to protect Donald?

You may not have said covid is a hoax but writing stuff like got to keep the covid fear alive is very akin to calling it a hoax. Or is that beyond your intellectual capacity?
still with the obedient "fear porn" narrative. and now we learn you believe "legitimate" treatments are being covered up to help that agenda. I have to ask, is the whole world in on this agenda? even the countries that had intelligent and competent leaders who got it under control?
The Trump haters throughout the world will use everything they can to stop Trump. And it's not just the US Democrats who want to stop him.
The ends justify any means.
Lol it’s not going to work for you all a second time. Sending your liberal research cronies to criticize every study which might help Trump is going to backfire.It seems the Detroit hydroxychloroquine study Trump touted has numerous systemic problems according to researchers.

The Henry Ford study is just as legitimate as the NEJM study.
What your party is doing here, again, is killing people, who fail to receive medical treatment because of your party’s gameplaying.

You seem a little fixated on this.
He thinks the left killed Herman Cain. Totally not kidding.

ooohhh, so it is a world wide conspiracy against your orange master. Thanks for the heads up. before you leave, can you explain how "the ends justify the means" proves your "narrative". thanks in advance.
Wow. Millions upon millions of people in the world are part of a vast conspiracy against Trump, so they banded together and caused this Coronavirus thing to happen.
There are TRILLIONS at stake.
COVID isn't a hoax, but it is a tool.
Is that difference beyond YOUR intellectual capacity to understand?
A tool?
