Go back to your parallel universe where people are still rational. You’re confusing me, is this a trick?

The authors said, "we can't double check this data, therefore it isn't good enough." They held their own study to a high standard, it failed, and they retracted it. It would have been better if they hadn't published it, but nevertheless they were willing to admit a mistake. Keep in mind there are hundreds of studies and clinical trials under way. If a few get thrown out there will still be a strong body of evidence. As of right now the evidence is still saying that hydroxychloroquine is not effective as a treatment, but there is reason to hope that it might work as a preventative. If the completion of more studies leads to a different stronger conclusion then of course we should accept that. It's baffling to me that medical studies became a political topic in the US, so I'm choosing to believe it really isn't one. I'm not interested in discussing riots or protests here. Facebook is littered with it. On 6/8/2020 11:30 PM, justsumname . wrote: I thought if it's not peer-reviewed, it's not real science. No worries, it's not a thing. The big news now is, recently we learned the absolute cure for COVID-19: Mass public gatherings and riots. -- On Mon, Jun 8, 2020 at 9:59 AM Adam Moffett <dmmoff...@gmail.com <mailto:dmmoff...@gmail.com> > wrote: They bought the source data from a research company. When pressed on how they acquired data on 96,000 cases the research company replied that they aren't allowed to say due to confidentiality agreements. Therefore the data can't be verified, therefore not adequate for science. Rather than believing the popular narrative that we were "tricked" by evil scientists, I'm quite happy that science did it's job. By contrast how often does a politician come back and say, "oh I guess I was wrong about that"? How often does anyone do that?
