The data has been inconsistent. But there also are in vitro studies that show that the drugs can prevent replication of the SARS virus.

Based on everything I have seen on this, I think the timing of when we give certain drugs impacts results. I agree that we need more studies on earlier use of hydroxycholorquin. That was protocol in South Korea and they reported good results.

I also agree that the issue has been overpoliticized because of Trump. Recommending and determining which drugs to use and how to use them should be left to medical professionals.
