I have first hand knowledge of at least one major hydroxychloroquine trial being approved in 4 days from submission because the CEO of a big hospital called the mayor of a big city who personally asked Pence to get involved. They are testing the capacity of hydroxychloroquine to act as a prophylactic against covid for front line health workers. That's how they're running this shit. They wanted to recruit 3,000 people, but I've heard although I do not know for a fact that recruiting for the trial is going really poorly since all the negative data have been reported. It's pretty much axiomatic in medicine (at least among academic providers) that the results of a small, open-label trial are close to, if not entirely, useless. Hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir are just proving what we all already know: there's no such thing as a miracle cure for a complex disease.
