Reply to comment by FeistyAgency9994 in A randomized double-blind controlled trial found post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was not advantageous for the prevention of COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals with high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The incidence of COVID-19 was similar in both the HCQ group and control. by glawgii

Well if you do some digging to figure out where they got their funding, you will find they don't fully list that. But there are 2 investors backing Pharmaaz India Pvt. Ltd and the biggest one is the NIH which through the duration of this specific study, Anthony Fauci, who was the director of NIAID/NIH.

So that right there is a conflict of interest in the study because if NIH/Fauci was funding it, you can't trust it to be 100% transparent or trustworthy when you consider his stance on hydroxychloroquine and covid.

Funding is required to be listed by law... it takes no digging... no conflicts of interest and no further funding source listed means its funded internally by the university... your claims are totally made up from the fact that the author once did a study on a trial drug for that pharm company at some point in the past. You are aware trial funding gives zero money ti the researcher and its all to fund the trial costs as well. And that data is incredibly well documented to be for that specific trial alone. The only worry is if that trial is bias because the funders decide what studies are being done to some degree and can look at specific things which are more favourable to them (although thats harder to do in medicine with more restrictions in place).

Also if you think the director of the niaid directly decides who receives noh grants you also have no idea how these insittutions run.

You obviously have no clue on how medical research is conducted

Okay so if I am wrong, correct me with the source of funding, because your comment doesn't correct me, it makes a baseless claim that I made it up, which my claim is not made up, you can look up the investors behind pharmazz yourself.

I have read through it and have not seen any mention of a specific university that provided the funding for this.

They gave you the source of the funding in the first two sentences.

Is this because you heard Donald Trump say hydroxy chloroquine 1,000 times during the pandemic? You should know he is not a doctor, a research candidate, or even a good businessman.

This is the dumbest thing I've read all day. Having the ability to speak doesn't mean that you should. Keep this in mind, moving forward, and you'll be fine.

As opposed to the people in their mom's basement, you do trust.
