That must mean that all those hundreds of doctors in all those other countries as well as several in New York State, even, who have been using it for weeks and swear it is working for most of their patients must be hallucinating.

Please dig down to the study itself.
It is not conclusive.
Hydroxychloroquine showed very promising results in early days.
Unfortunately, while it may be useful in some cases, it may be too dangerous as a standard of care.
We still have a lot to learn about this v***s.

It does seem "strange" that one week we're hearing how well it works and then the next, in the same place, we're hearing it doesn't work.
Something highly fishy (🐟) there.

Nobody really believes Trump is taking hydroxochloroquine anyway.

Yes, it’s frustrating. There are a number of factors in play.
- The unfortunate influence of politics.
The effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine has become a political issue, as if Trumps opinion of the treatment demonstrates his competence, or lack thereof. One side insists that Trumps opinion is absolutely right, as proof of competence. The other insists it is absolutely wrong as proof of incompetence. The fact is he’s not a doctor, nor does he claim to be. We just don’t know what treatments will prove to be effective.
- As we learn more about the v***s, medical opinions change. That’s how science works. Someone proposes a hypothesis. The hypothesis is tested. Maybe it looks good. Then further testing reveals new information. The hypothesis may be supported and have more weight, it may be adjusted to take the new evidence into account or discarded entirely if the new evidence disproves the hypothesis. If enough evidence supports a hypothesis it eventually becomes a theory. There are no scientific theories that can’t be discarded tomorrow if sufficient evidence disproves them.
- The public is desperate for a solution, so any treatment that shows promise is jumped on. It seems many people have pinned their hopes on hydroxychloroquine. The possibility that it doesn’t work, or is too dangerous as a baseline treatment, terrifies them.
I truly hope we find an treatment that works well enough to save as many lives as possible. I’m just not convinced hydroxychloroquine is it.
