Note that the headline says "is linked to increased risk of death in coronavirus patients". That is the ultimate in weasel words. OK, yes, taking HCQ does slightly increase your chance of developing an arrhythmia. Its side effects are well known. But it also REDUCES your chance of dying of the Chinese virus. And the chances of it helping is very much dependent on WHEN it is given (the earlier the better) and also that it is used with a compatible antibiotic (to limit complications of a lung infection) and also zinc. And THAT STUDY just never interests these hacks.
