Yep...lots of questions re: the statistical/data integrity of the Lancet study. Were the comparison groups (HCQ or no HCQ) truly balanced? Don't appear to be...HCQ patients may have been more ill.
And what were the dosages of HCQ used in this very sick population? Probably much higher than 2400 mg.
This study's conclusions should be withdrawn shortly, & the WHO was irresponsible in accepting it so readily in the first place...before any independent verification(s). This study as a whole was frankly misguided (solely looking at very sick inpatients). Intended or not, it attempts to paint HCQ with a broad brush in hopes of discrediting it...JMO. Interestingly, the study served to discredit itself. I am looking forward to more promising outpatient data.
