New Hydroxychloroquine study published in the Asian Journal of Medicine and Health...
Which completely takes the piss out of supposedly "scholarly" articles trumpeting the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid.
And as a bonus, demonstrating that these predatory "science" journals will print just about any-fucking-thing, as long as your cheque clears.
SARS-CoV-2 was Unexpectedly Deadlier than Push-scooters: Could Hydroxychloroquine be the Unique Solution?
https://www.journalajmah.com/index.php/AJMAH/article/view/30232
Abstract
Background: YouTube™ and Dropbox© studies have warned against the deadly potential of push-scooters.
Aims: Through three studies, we evaluate the potential of a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for preventing push-scooter accidents.
Study Design: Studies 1 and 2 are retrospective observational studies in which we rely on archival data to explore the relationship between push-scooters accidents (PSA) and usage of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin (HCQ + AZT) in France in 2020 and 2019 respectively (7 participants). Study 3 is a partly randomized clinical trial (pRCT), retrospective, in which the use of HCQ + AZT for preventing PSA was assessed in a radically “direct” way (6 participants).
Place and Duration of Study: Studies 1 and 2 were conducted in the authors’ office chair (Ikea) in France (multicentric), on July 20th, 2020. Study 3 was conducted in the parking lot of an abandoned factory (Montcuq, Occitan region, France).
Methodology: For Studies 1 and 2, we used data from OpenMEDIC to determine usage of hydroxychloroquine in France in 2020 and Google Actuality to determine the rate of PSA in France in 2020. For Study 3, we adopted an experimental approach and had participants exposed to HCQ + AZ (treatment group) or homeopathy (control group) before having them perform a standard push-scooter exercise. Advanced statistical models were used to assess the prophylactic effect of the HCQ + AZT combination on PSA.
Results: Wide use of hydroxychloroquine is strongly associated with a very low level of PSA, both in time (2020 VS 2019) and in space (Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhônes versus the rest of France). Moreover, the results of our retrospective pRCT prove without any doubt that prophylactic use of a HCQ + AZT combination helped to prevent PSA.
Conclusion: The HCQ + AZT combo should urgently be used in prevention of PSA all around the world.

Let's try to be thorough, shall we?

Authors’ contributions
This work was carried out in collaboration among all authors. Author WO launched idea on Twitter,
added some sentences, submitted the paper, corresponded with the kind publisher. Author MR
launched MP group on Twitter and Google Docs, performed study 1, added some sentences here and
there, responded to reviewers. Author VR needed SIGAPS points, did the minimum. Found a beautiful
picture for figure 3. Author FC wrote a lot of sentences but didn't need too many SIGAPS points, so
fourth place was not as bad. Also, performed Study 3 in his head (philosophers are good at thought
-experiments). Author DL was on holidays and added his name at the last time. Author ST wrote
nothing but provided the push-scooters and did the outside job. Author ÖFH did nothing but is a very
good friend of us; he helped us get some administrative paperwork. Author NM said "waouf" when the
authors started to doubt (doubts are common in science, don't let them win you over, believe in
yourself and what you do, don't let anyone distract you from the truth you know). Author MJ wrote
sentences and said that the last place will be "enough for him". He does it every time,
and it works pretty well on interns, we have to admit. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

Randomized controlled trial.
Thanks, Sid. That's the best laugh I've had all week.
