Then you should probably be more "up to speed" on it, in contrast to what you post here.
Because the dexamethasone recommendation was based on "consistent" evidence (the study was even stopped prior to the recruitment planning, because the evidence was so convincing, it was considered "unethical" to deny that treatment to patients in the placebo groups).
The evidence on hydroxychloroquine has been "inconsistent", and in many studies, "problematic". And those are not the retracted studies.
ha you’re a joke. I’m all for dexamethasone. And I no longer have faith that HDQ is effective. I believe that the trend is also toward favorability on remdesivir.
But I also believe that HDQ isn’t as dangerous as a flawed study was suggesting and I also believe that we should continue to look at this drug along with any others that may have success. Medications sometimes need to be tried at different doses, started at different times in the course of illness to truly know. And because we have lots of hospitals and lots of COVID I believe that lots of things can be looked at at one time. My point all along is that because Trump injected himself into this, his suggested drug has become somewhat of a pariah. And I deplore anyone that turns away from looking into all options based on politics. And that 100% has played a role here. Should resources be directed at other medicines before HDQ? Yeah probably.
Don’t mistake my posts for cheerleading for HDQ either. Just cheerleading for neutrality.
