And that Anecdotal evidence is coming from Doctors. So I'm willing to place more weight on their Anecdotal evidence than yours. Fair? |

For every one of those anecdotal responses, there's also this response: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...isn-t-n1177556 No 'miraculous recovery': Some ICU doctors say hydroxychloroquine isn't helping sickest patients Many doctors suspect that if the drug does turn out to be beneficial, it may work better early on in the course of the illness. |

Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that also works against atypical pathogens. Not all broad-spectrums work against atypicals (or anaerobes for that matter). Not all broad-spectrum antibiotics penetrate the lung tissue adequately. Azithromycin is commonly used in CAP because it works against atypicals and achieves suitable concentrations in the lungs. It is widely distributed and has a long half-life so you don't need to dose several times per day. The potential benefit of azithromycin in this case may also be from its immunomodulatory effects--not because it is wiping out bacteria. |

Sorry, that doesn't even pass the Bullshit Test. And we all know the reason you believe this to be "true". |

My position on this is and has been that there has not been a controlled trial of this completed yet. That's it. Therefore, I'm not pimping it. I hope that the results of the trial are positive. What will your reaction be if it is not? |

Plenty of trials of medications ultimately show they are ineffective, so that means they had a bundle of evidence that was incorrect?
