WHO uses research study that concludes "urgent confirmation from randomised clinical trials is needed" to halt clinical trials of HCQ

"The World Health Organization says it is temporarily halting its clinical trials that use hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients over published concerns that the drug may do more harm than good.

The move comes after the medical journal The Lancet reported on Friday that patients getting hydroxychloroquine were dying at higher rates than other coronavirus patients.

BUT the Lancet article literally ends with these words:

"urgent confirmation from randomised clinical trials is needed."
