Twitter is not a source. Ever. If you post about a study, link to the actual study and not some asshole spouting off about the study, invoking every politically charged buzzphrase he can muster and screaming about genocide trials.

If you want to evaluate research, you have to do it with a dispassionate distance. You have to set aside preconceived notions and simply look at what the methodology and data actually show. ClinicalTrials.gov is not showing any reported results. All we have is a poster from a French drug company. I have no actual data on the authors, when or where the poster was presented, links to actual data (rather than the sanitized conclusions a poster format requires), etc.

It's probably also noteworthy that this is for post-exposure prophylaxis, not pre-exposure prophylaxis or for treatment of a confirmed case of the Virus Which Cannot Be Named. The TOGETHER and ACTIV-6 trials both showed no benefit for treatment.

Link to the ClinicalTrials.gov listing here.

Link to the poster (this is not yet published or peer-reviewed) here.

For me, I'll wait to see a full write-up and some proper peer-review before passing judgement. Downvote away.
