You made me search for 2022-23 studies on HCQ, to see if anything changes.
Behold, still fucking useless: https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/hydroxychloroquine-eff... (one of many meta studies). Where do you get that disinfo??

It appears to improve mortality, though not necessarily symptom duration.
HCQ-AZ treatment was associated with a significantly lower mortality rate than no HCQ-AZ after adjustment for sex, age, period and patient care setting (adjusted OR (aOR) 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.55, 0.45-0.68). The effect was greater among outpatients (71% death protection rate) than among inpatients (45%).So far as I know, France doesn't have a serious human parasite infection problem.
Still, I'm not sure there's any reason to trust this latest Didier Raoult paper any more than the meta analysis carried out of numerous papers and studies into AZ/HCQ carried out by institutions that hadn't staked their reputation on it being a cure in March 2020
This obsession with disinfo, misinfo, malinfo portends exceedingly troubling things for our ability to talk with each other on the internet.
I'm not sure it's fair (or even remotely in good faith) to argue that it's people responding to arguments expressed in that manner that are lowering the standard of internet discourse...
People say "two wrongs don't make a right" when they're not singling out the words of only the second party as the reason why people can't talk to each other on the internet.
People say "two wrongs don't make a right" when they're saying that one bad behavior in response to another bad behavior is still a bad behavior.

This is both more reasonable than and different from what was written.
> Where do you get that disinfo??
Couldn't that part simply have been left out? More to the point, is a person definitely wrong for thinking that it ought to have been left out?
> I'd love to hear how a bar [that is ostensibly resting on the ground] is lowered
Dig a hole. It can always get worse.
That is both more reasonable and different from what was written :-p
Yes, I think it is absolutely unfair for someone to observe an exchange between somebody ranting about how mainstream scientific consensus is all lies and propaganda and somebody in turn dismissing their argument for why everything was all lies and propaganda as disinfo, and place the blame for the internet discourse in general being suboptimal squarely on the terms used by the second person.
YMMV.
