I'm not sure if that particular study is a good example of this as everything and its aunt was getting published about COVID back then. It is disappointing that other studies were shut down on the assumption that the mortality results from such a limited (and fatally flawed) analysis were correct, especially given previous knowledge of the side effects and dosing considerations of hydroxychloroquine.
