The Financial Times is an enjoyable read covering a broad range of topics I find interesting. It’s journalistically more enjoyable than the rather stodgy Wall Street journal, but way less reliable.
Today in a big article on the virus produced by several correspondents, they comment on hydroxychloroquine. They conclude that studies showing it was effective have been small and not rigorously structured. They then say a recent Chinese study shows no effect using the drug.
What they don’t tell you is the Chinese study is just as small, and just as flawed....the patients were given many drugs including chloroquine. They also don’t tell you that every patient survived.....both in the control group and the group taking chloroquine. That in effect the study tells you nothing about the results for seriously ill patients, the patients hydoxychloroquine combined with the Z pack supposedly help.
Clever, dishonest....furthering a broader agenda..and from a source we should be able to trust, very disappointing.
