Coronavirus: Trump doctors must resist ‘VIP syndrome’, warns leader of world’s biggest COVID study

“Don’t expose people to drugs unless you know they are going to be useful, except in context of a clinical trial.”

Ahem.

That’s the RECOVERY trial mentioned in the title.

"The RECOVERY trial used excessively high non-patient-customized dosage in very sick late stage patients and the result is not generalizable to typical dosage or earlier treatment. "

That was one of the kinder comments on the RECOVERY trial HCQ dose, which was way more than the maximum specified under NICE guidelines .
Others spoke of potentially lethal doses (eg Dr. Meryl Nass,

There’s quite a back story to the RECOVERY trial dose ( Oxford, Recovery et Solidarity : Overdosage in two clinical trials with acts considered criminal?
