[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 176871, member: 38594"] A fine example of medical doctors abusing statistics 101: [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/21/health/hydroxychloroquine-veterans-study/index.html']Study finds no benefit, higher death rate in patients taking hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19[/URL] It is an observational restrospective study i.e. they did not randomize the patients between different treatment groups. It is very possible that patients in a more serious condition chose Hydroxychloroquine, hence the higher death rates can be attributed to their condition not to the drug. It is a basic Statistics 101 rule that observational studies do NOT prove cause and effect, yet medical people keep violating that with almost every "publication". They were criticizing the french study because it wasn't randomized and double-blind, I hope someone will apply that to this study as well. Otherwise, it will be an obvious case of favoritism.
