You're massively projecting, and again it's bizarre windmill tilting.

Notably absent from your response is any actual rebuttal of the main point: they re-used a photo of another boy from two years ago for their story. The other sites were a little more responsible and didn't use an obviously fake picture for their story.

And "that one site" is MSN, it's a major media outlet that also owns a cable news network.

Your rebuttal is only a "genius smackdown" if you project far more onto it than what is actually there (me mocking them using a fake picture).

But even more important than these shortcomings in the design of the study is how the researchers chose to measure and report their results. Forty-two patients were initially included in the study. Three were transferred to the intensive care unit; one died, one left the hospital, and one stopped taking the treatment due to nausea. The other 36 eventually recovered, and those who received the drug cleared the virus from the system faster than those who did not.

If you had only heard about this study from the Fox News assertion of a “100% cure rate”, you might assume that the four patients with poor clinical outcomes (the three ICU visits and one death) had been unlucky enough to be in the group that did not receive the “cure”.

And yet, those four patients, as well as the patient with nausea and the one who left the hospital early, were all part of the treatment group. They were excluded from the topline results of the study because of the way that the researchers chose to measure and report the results: strictly based on the measurable presence of viruses in nasal swabs taken each day of the study. Since the patients were in the ICU or dead, their samples could not be taken and they were left out of the final analysis. Based on the nasal swabs of just the 36 patients who completed the study, those who received the drug cleared the virus from their systems faster than those who did not.

This is how an experiment in which 15% of the treatment group and 0% of the control had poor clinical outcomes could end up being reported as showing a “100% cure rate”.

Do other countries do the same ?
Or is the corona-crisis shown as an abstract thing, like most other crises ? (War in the middle-east, virus in china, hunger in Africa, who cares these days ?).
