Except that's not "all it is". Trump only said it should be taken based on research that had been done showing it may be effective, research which has been replicated in numerous studies in numerous countries.
Subsequent poorly designed studies got bad results precisely because they were poorly designed, yet they continue to influence attitudes on HCQ treatment.

For the record, this absolutely had the requisite level of engagement for the front page, but mysteriously languished under new.

The treatment is continuing to prove effective when administered in the correct dosages at the appropriate times and in conjunction with Zinc and Azithromycin.
Unfortunately a lot of people were biased against it precisely because Trump supported it. The studies showing it didn't work or was dangerous were poorly designed but people happily accepted their results because they made Trump look like a fool.
It's time we put politics aside and reverse course on HCQ.

Done. I usually try to avoid editorializing titles after repeated scoldings but I think this is appropriate.
