The trials alleging h/z/a to be ineffective were performed on already-hospitalized patients or those whose age were so low that there were no statistical differences, or used hydroxychloroquine only. As I stated there have been ZERO RCTs on vulnerable patients given the three-drug combo h/z/a well before potential hospitalization is necessary. But every bit of observational data we have when used in the latter case shows it to be about 80-85% effective, as Dr. Risch's paper points out.
So tell me, what is the rationale for saying h/z/a never works at any time? Ask yourself, does this actually make any sense? Everyone on this board is fairly intelligent (with the possible exception of myself according to LanceHarbor) and anyone can clearly see the trials saying it doesn't work are not parallel to the way proponents say it should be used. It frustrates Dr. Risch (and also Dr. George Fareed, former professor of medicine at Harvard and UCLA) to no end but he believes the Great Fauchino's personal medical philosophy is the issue. And make no mistake - his influence over the CDC and FDA is enormous.
