“Says Dr Zelenko, he said that.”
You skipped the second question
What are they?
“A control group is comparable to the studied group to see if there is a difference between the two.”
Correct. Key word is COMPARABLE. In your last post you wrote “, and the control group are the ones who have not yet developed any underlying medical conditions as yet” A group that has not yet developed underlying conditions, is NOT COMPARABLE to a group that has.
“So you want other people with underlying conditions without corona virus to be given HOQ?”
No that would be to study safety, and has been done.
A control in this case would be to take a similar group to the one getting HCQ and NOT giving HCQ.
Again the question we are trying to answer is does HCQ (with zinc) help or not. Just giving it doesnt tell us much. We want to know what would have happened if they didnt get it . Again keep in mind, The vas tvast majority of those who get it do fine without hCQ. Even the vast majority of those at risk do fine without HCQ Do MORE at risk patients do fine with HCQ than without? THAT is te question
To answer that just giving HCQ without a control doesnt tell us much if anything.
“What about the antibiotic and zinc, you want them to take that too?”
who?
“Oh and of course the invasive intubation, why not?!”
Wait, what?
