As expected, it's bullshit. They selected the study vs control groups solely based on the status of quinine based treatment of those hospitalized. As we know, quinine is more often used for those in more severe conditions. They did not even attempt to statistically control for this fact in the study. (Not that you even could.)
As scientists, they would immediately recognize that this study would necessarily show a correlation. This is something anyone with a high school level understanding of science should recognize. I can't imagine any reason they would do this unless they were paid to show a certain result. At least they made it obvious what a load of crap it is.
