Here's another: https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaa093...

> Evidence about use of hydroxychloroquine alone, or of hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin in inpatients, is irrelevant concerning efficacy of the pair in early high-risk outpatient disease. Five studies, including two controlled clinical trials, have demonstrated significant major outpatient treatment efficacy.

None of your sources deal with outpatients or the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

I Spent a year trying to get a prescription for azithromycin before giving up.

I was explaining to a new doctor how my weird symptoms would go away on azithromycin or doxycycline for several weeks. He looked at me and said, oh you have an autoimmune disorder then. He even guessed the correct one. One I had never heard of.

He hadn’t read any studies on it. Was just something he noticed in decades of treating people.

It also looks like that study is still in the peer review process. It has the "Accepted Manuscript" flag (https://academic.oup.com/aje/pages/Instructions_To_Authors) and has at least one major error, https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaa155...

There is also a glaring conflict of interest regarding the author of that paper and some manufacturers of the drugs in question, https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaa156...
