1) Panthagani dismisses many studies b/c they have no control group. That's a valid criticism yet understandable given we're in the middle of a pandemic. That raises a valid question considering the NIH has known since 2005 that HCQ inhibits SARS in cell culture:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232869/
Why wasn't HCQ tested more thoroughly before 2020? We shouldn't be in this position had the NIH done their job. The NIH's entire job is to save lives. They had evidence HCQ could save lives yet they didn't follow up and now people are dying unnecessarily.
2) Panthagani will point out limitations of HCQ positive results for example lack of control groups. But she rarely mentions the problems with studies showing HCQ isn't effective. One that stood out is the VA study that found no benefit to HCQ: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.16.20065920v2
Here's a PhD in Epidemiology tearing apart that VA study: https://youtu.be/PF4BzDYsXTc?t=651
3) Panthagani buries the most promising study for HCQ! The very last study she lists way down at the bottom of the page shows HCQ prevents infection in people with no previous exposure to SARS-Cov2: http://archive.is/PawDy#selection-2281.0-2315.3
In other words if you haven't been exposed and you're going to go on a trip or going somewhere with Covid-19 you can protect yourself by taking HCQ prophylactically.
Why is this buried at the bottom of the page? This is huge! This could get people back to work or school a lot sooner yet Panthagani buries the result?
Conclusion: Kristen Panthagani has a severe case of confirmation bias. There is no question.
This is how it works people. The Deep State can flood the airwaves with doubt and trigger confirmation bias on a mass scale.
