Great website for some actual numbers - check out HCQ Meta
HCQ is effective for COVID-19 when used early: analysis of 144 studies
-
- HCQ is effective for COVID-19. The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 144 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 151 billion (p = 0.0000000000066).
- Early treatment is most successful, with 100% of studies reporting a positive effect and an estimated reduction of 64% in the effect measured (death, hospitalization, etc.) using a random effects meta-analysis, RR 0.36 [0.28-0.46].
- 100% of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for early, PrEP, or PEP treatment report positive effects, the probability of this happening for an ineffective treatment is 0.002.
- There is evidence of bias towards publishing negative results. 89% of prospective studies report positive effects, and only 74% of retrospective studies do.
- Significantly more studies in North America report negative results compared to the rest of the world, p = 0.002.
The total cost of treatment is about $20 No wonder that Big Pharma is lobbying so hard to get it thrown out. These people have our best interests at heart.
