Why are we rushing to create a vaccine if we already have Hydroxychloroquine?

Doctors at Henry Ford in Michigan say covid-19 patients who received hydrochloroquine had a 13% death rate as opposed to 26% of the patients who didn't receive it.

The study is controversial (I know, a shock).

But it's not a cure - it may or may not be a treatment to, you know, make dying less likely.

@Mamapolo2016 Did the doctors at Henry Ford prescribe the Hydroxychloroquine?
@SimplyTracie I assume so. They got it somehow.

[quote] The doctors emphasized the importance of "scientific debate" in advancing the knowledge of drugs, but noted the politicization of hydroxychloroquine is an large obstacle to the process.

"Unfortunately, the political climate that has persisted has made any objective discussion about this drug impossible, and we are deeply saddened by this turn of events," they wrote, noting researchers' goal is to "allow the science to speak for itself."

"To that end, we have made the heartfelt decision to have no further comment about this outside the medical community," the doctors said. [/quote]

The political climate has made any objective discussion about anything impossible.
