The one small "study" that claims it doesn't work was a joke. And the same people who need to be told not to drink bleach just want to believe anything that makes Trump look bad.
The real studies and trials are yet to be completed.

That study was run by the same mindset of the people who run the presidential poll showing Joe Biden beating president Trump, lol.

Of 1446 consecutive patients, 70 patients were intubated, died, or discharged within 24 hours after presentation and were excluded from the analysis. Of the remaining 1376 patients, during a median follow-up of 22.5 days, 811 (58.9%) received hydroxychloroquine (600 mg twice on day 1, then 400 mg daily for a median of 5 days); 45.8% of the patients were treated within 24 hours after presentation to the emergency department, and 85.9% within 48 hours. Hydroxychloroquine-treated patients were more severely ill at baseline than those who did not receive hydroxychloroquine (median ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen, 223 vs. 360). Overall, 346 patients (25.1%) had a primary end-point event (180 patients were intubated, of whom 66 subsequently died, and 166 died without intubation). In the main analysis, there was no significant association between hydroxychloroquine use and intubation or death (hazard ratio, 1.04, 95% confidence interval, 0.82 to 1.32). Results were similar in multiple sensitivity analyses.

Odd that this thread died down, it seems like it should be nr.1 on everyone's priority list. I know, by now there are new threads about it, that's how ATS works, but still...
Might it have something to do with what happened concerning these subjects:
As the authors acknowledge, the severity of the patients in the different groups was very different, and their analysis can only make sense if there is a selection of patients with the same degree of severity, i.e. the same percentage of lymphopenia.
Hydroxychloroquine-treated patients were more severely ill at baseline than those who did not receive hydroxychloroquine (...).
