Not surprising given my analysis of the Marseilles data (see tweet w/the Mathematica file). The question is how large the effect. Also why the smear campaign ag. Raoult? OK, he's the most cited virologist who talks on TV like a TV healer; doesn't help. https://t.co/mjkkonQbse — PolitiTweet.org

Mike Lawler (@mikeandallie) should make his kids derive the significance of the Raoult chloroquine results, a trivial illustration --something that seems to escape medical commentators. https://t.co/IUeVtw57ff — PolitiTweet.org

Friends, an obvious test w/asymmetric signal: How many pple treated for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or malaria by a *certain* dosage of chloroquine or hydrochquine have been under ventilation for corona vs rest of local population? Answer wld be a v. strong statistical signal. — PolitiTweet.org

Even in St Georges Hospital in Lebanon they get stuff like this. In NY and Italy, doctors are ignoring "official" guidelines & applying the Raoult therapy early on. Note: Raoult knows his stuff about patients/treatment, not the dynamics of epidemics. https://t.co/V8sTAdXugz — PolitiTweet.org

SUSPICIOUS: + Why the WHO bias against masks & Chloroquine? Latter used by doctors in NY, Italy (combination) in early stages. + Why the smear campaign ag. Raoult? He is the most cited viologist + Recall statistical BS in Forbes/Bloomberg + Pharma shut down a factory in France https://t.co/5O9DD2x36N — PolitiTweet.org

This is spin: WHO is a very incompetent org. Prevented masks & were 5 steps behind. Can't get risk asymmetry! Stat ignorant WHO now trying to do complicated "science" & degrading simple chloroquine in spite of of huge signal, using "dble blind" buzzwords. https://t.co/IeLdDlpKbQ — PolitiTweet.org
