you may want to watch this video first hand.
Dr Campbell, a PHD, has over 735k subscribers to his medicine focused YouTube channel, and that’s not on the back of his youth or good looks, lols.
anyway, the man focuses on data, and provides reasoned analysis from there. he provides links to all his data and is very careful in his choice of words, particularly in regard to the nature of any interpretation he makes of the data. he doesn’t mistake suggestions, likelihood’s, etc, for ‘certainty’ in any regard.
I found two things very interesting about this video
- Dr Campbell who has for months repeated the publicly aired consensus that HCQ does not help in C19 has soundly changed his mind. He directly addresses the issue of RCTs being better than retrospective, but the sheer number of patients in the HCQ data of this Belgian study, over 8,000, combined with the difference in survival rate vs non-HCQ in this study, has led Dr Campbell to reverse his opinion and find HCQ a viable treatment option in C19.
- Dr Campbell also spends sometime discussing what he sees as a glaring and puzzling flaw in the Oxford Recovery and WHO Solidarity trials. Both trials gave 5X the daily dosage of HCQ on day 1 to patients as the top standard dosage according to the British official formulary he describes as the bible for British doctors, prescribing nurses and pharmacists. He not only shows live the dosing from that formulary, he shows from the Recovery trial the day 1 dosage and in a subsequent video he shows the Solidarity day 1 dosage (2000 mg for day 1 in both studies).
that is my synopsis of the main points of the video. the only opinion I’ve expressed is that Dr Campbell is thoughtful, careful, strives to be objective and is therefore this video is worth a look at first hand.
I’ve expressed no other opinions here... not even re whether I agree with his assessment of HCQ.
I therefore ask that if you disagree with my suggesting people look first hand at a video of a PHD looking at data from a large study or my choosing to give a very brief summary of such a video, please leave your disagreement at that, as I’ve done nothing more.
