You should write them a letter, peer-to-peer. I can’t imagine they’d ignore it.
I’m learning a lot, reading this study. Here’s an interesting tidbit:
Median age, HQ treatment group: 70
Median age, HQ + AZ treatment group: 68
Median age, no treatment grouo: 69
There goes that claim.
The entire group is heavily weighted to older and sicker, they even admit it.
Yes - because the people being admitted to VA hospitals are generally older, and sicker than the population as a whole. That applies to the non-treatment group as well as the treatment groups.
That’s the data set they have.
You must then surely be able to show that to be true. Right?
That’s what they said in the study. If you have evidence that they lied, feel free to provide it.
Not my job, you made the claim so let’s see the data.
No, I didn’t. The study did.
You, on the other hand, have made quite a lot of affirmative statements that you have failed to support at all - including your repeated claims that the study intentionally “cherry-picked” only old and sick people for their study.
“They” aren’t here arguing their case, you are and they didn’t provide it so of course you can’t either.
They didn’t state the median age for all admissions is 60. Where’s the data supporting any of it?
This is YOUR claim, not theirs.
Where is your supporting data?
No, I’m not arguing their case. I’m disproving your erroneous claims.
It’s all there in the study. The data starts on page 16.
That’s what so weird about it. You would think even as a matter of scientific curiosity, scientists and doctors would want to replicate or refute Dr. Raoult’s results.
No one has. Instead they do studies on patients in the critically ill stage, where the HCQ proponents already acknowledge it’s too late for it to be effective.
Why not test what the actual claims are?

You haven’t disproven anything. You’re parroting unsupportable garbage and trying to get me to provide what you and they should be able to.
The study stated their population was all patients admitted with COVID-positive labs. The youngest patient in the survey was 59, and the oldest was 75.
I think it’s not a difficult leap of common sense to see that the majority of VA admissions would tend toward the older and sicker.
It has been linked a number of times in this thread. But I am happy to provide another.
You made the claim, you can’t support it which is why you keep deflecting.
Are you denying that you claimed subjects of this study were “cherry-picked” by age and condition?
I know and we both know it’s not there or you could actually provide it.
