IT WAS A HUGE ASS FRAUD, LIKE DON LEMON, AND THAT MADDOW DUDE.
The Lancet, a peer-reviewed medical journal that published a 96,000-subject study indicting the efficacy of the politically controversial hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 has retracted its findings that the malaria medication led to an increased risk of death.
“Today, three of the authors of the paper, ‘Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis”, have retracted their study,” The Lancet said in a retraction statement Thursday. “They were unable to complete an independent audit of the data underpinning their analysis. As a result, they have concluded that they ‘can no longer vouch for the veracity of the primary data sources.”
“We deeply apologise to you, the editors, and the journal readership for any embarrassment or inconvenience that this may have caused,” the authors of the study wrote.
In an important moment for science and data transparency, @thelancet announces that its 96,000 observational study on hydroxychloroquine has been RETRACTED.
The study was first published in May and was the largest ever conducted analyzing the impacts of hydroxychloroquine after President Donald Trump was reported to be taking the medication as a precautionary measure following possible exposure to the virus.
Legacy media meanwhile, with its animus for Trump, used the study to attack the president and his physician for taking a medication that had anecdotally shown potential promise in treatment of infection while posing few risks. Trump had previously touted the possible benefits of the medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use during press briefings to reporters who pinned the death of an uninfected man who drank fish tank cleaner outside of medical guidance on the president.

The Lancet medical journal has just published a study suggesting that treatment with a well-known antimalarial drug offers no benefit for patients with COVID-19. The study looked at chloroquine or its analogue hydroxychloroquine, which US President Donald Trump has been taking.

"The scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of efficacy," Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said of using #hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19.
But he stopped short of calling for an outright ban of the drug https://politi.co/2ZM8Vvt

Fauci's comments come days after The Lancet published a 96,000-patient study concluding #hydroxychloroquine had no effect on #Covid19 and may have even caused some harm.
This also comes after Trump said he was taking it as a preventative measure https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/27/fauci-hydroxychloroquine-not-effective-against-coronavirus-283980 …

It's truly unfortunate that Dr. Birx has to toe Trump's line about his advocacy for a drug that today's Lancet study of 96,000 #COVIDー19 patients which showed a strong correlation between death and those patients using hydroxychloroquine.

Dr Birx says The Lancet study “very clearly “ shows the danger of taking hydroxychloroquine as a Covid-19 medicine. As President Trump is doing and promoting tobthe country. She did not stay for follow up questions.
One has to wonder then, how many of the more than 100,000 people to die from the coronavirus in the United States could have been saved from the drug in the absence of the researchers’ negligence.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS, NEVER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!
THE MSM CAUGHT LYING LIKE HELL YET AGAIN.....
