No, it means 37% of surveyed Doctors treating covid 19 patients are using the drug. I don't care what the other ones think because they aren't treating covid 19 patients. Nobody is trying to spin or tweak the numbers, survey is easy to read and understand. You understand that there is no patent on hydroxychloroquine, its cheap and made by several countries all over the world. Nobody has a vested interest in promoting the drug.
I understand you would rather wait for full clinical trials, but death rate may peak in a few weeks so those may be too late to save some people.
I noticed you have commented on the Doctor in LA, he's treating very serious coronavirus patients with his tri drug cocktail and seeing great results.
