Researchers on Wednesday published scathing critiques of a study President Trump repeatedly touted on Twitter. That study, published earlier this month in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, claimed to show that hydroxychloroquine saved lives.
President Trump tweeted about it enthusiastically. "The highly respected Henry Ford Health System just reported, based on a large sampling, that HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE cut the death rate in certain sick patients very significantly. The Dems disparaged it for political reasons . Disgraceful. Act now," the President tweeted on July 6. But the study had multiple errors, flaws and biases, according to letters to the journal's editors.
In a third letter written in response to the Henry Ford study, Amit Malviya of the Department of Cardiology at North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences wrote,"Before this drug is routinely recommended ... there is absolutely no substitute for properly conducted randomised trials, for such drug interventions which have a public health importance.
