and certainly not for years on end...i.e. I don't "Demand" that they do so...I lament it, but move on.

In this case regarding my not reading Dr. Risch's paper, if you want to get involved with Mark's complaint, you need to understand the context....to wit...

>This whole issue was debated and decided 3 months before I joined the UHND Open Forum (i.e. no HCQ approval
>Dr. Risch's peers at Yale Med School...including Virologists and Infectious Disease Specialists...plus, his fellow Epidemiologist Co-Editors at the journal which published his paper...all publicly denounced it...after spending many hours trying to show him why he was wrong. (I've posted their letters)
>I have the benefit of family Physicians who are Infectious Disease and Pulmonary/Critical Care Specialists who have followed the HCQ saga and termed it a "Joke within the Medical community"
>Dr. Risch didn't conduct any of the HCQ studies...he wrote, in the terms of his Co-Editors, an "Opinion Piece"...so I did some research on two of the five featured studies Dr. Risch references and found that each of them had to apologize for faulty conduct and results, thus causing Dr. Risch to do the same...a clear case of shoddy work on his part for not picking up on these failures himself.

I'm sorry that Mark has dug his heels in on such a poor choice...but reading and debating a paper that's already been rejected...long ago...by the best minds in this field is counter productive to getting him to see the truth. If he, and you, disagree with the outcome on HCQ, so be it...just move on for heaven's sake.

Oh, and if you've paid any attention, I've continued to engage with Mark and read scores, if not hundreds of his posts/links while responding with substantive arguments/links of my own...which very few others on this forum take the time to do. Also, he and I have exchanged several B-Mails...he knows I'm a friend and not trying to cause him any harm.
