Your Brownstone article intentionally mischaracterizes the study and its retraction. The retraction does not say there was fraud involved, just that the data was unreliable.![]()
Those Published “17,000 Hydroxychloroquine Deaths” Never Happened ⋆ Brownstone Institute
There were never “17,000 deaths;” it was extrapolation of people that could have died based on databases on top of RECOVERY-trial dosing.brownstone.org
The article was always a hypothesized estimate of people that might have died, but now even that estimate has been retracted. The reason for the retraction was that the Belgian dataset that was one of the bases for the piece was found to be “unreliable” (but in reality was fraudulent). The article also repeatedly referenced the New England Journal of Medicine’s 2020 RECOVERY trial. The RECOVERY trial is well known to be a deeply flawed study which, in addition to implementing late treatment in severely ill Covid patients, used extremely high doses of HCQ.
More and more lies from you I see...Shack should start calling you Genocchio......
How many people died is unclear but nobody got better. So now you're trying to say it was disinformation to report that the the disinformation rump passed on untested and useless medicines is the problem. Not the fact that rump and MAGA are anti vaxxer, anti science types that regularly push dangerous and stupid misinformation on the population.
