For weeks Dr. Anthony Fauci has dismissed all of the mounting evidence for the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine treatments for Covid-19 as “anecdotal” and “the slightest hint of evidence” because it doesn’t come from clinically controlled trials. That is just wrong. Valid statistics do need a control group but the control does not have to be clinical.
Denigration of trials that use non-clinical controls is a 180° turn for Dr. Fauci
It turns out that Dr. Fauci knows as well as anybody that non-clinical control groups support perfectly valid statistical evidence because his own career-making medical research was entirely dependent on historic controls (comparing his treatment outcomes to historic mortality rates), with no clinical control groups ever involved.
This bit of Fauci history was mentioned by Dr. Stephen Smith in an interview with Laura Ingraham on April 6th. Ingraham asks what Dr. Smith thinks about Fauci’s skepticism and he responds:
What he’s saying Laura is that we don’t have randomized controls of the trials and that’s true but we have plenty of diseases including the disease that doctor Wolff and Dr. Fauci [unintelligible] got famous for: Wegner’s Granulomatosis. They developed a treatment for it in the 70s and 80s that saved lives. But if memory serves their article in Annals and their article in 1973, Annals [was] in 1983 I believe, they didn’t use, it was not randomized, it was not controlled. They didn’t even have contemporaneous controls, they used historical controls, and I’m not blaming them. I believe they did great work and that the treatment DID work.
Dr. Smith is right, Fauci’s own medical research is rife with non-clinical controls
Here is a 1973 article that Dr. Fauci wrote on Wegman’s Granulomatosis with a Dr. Wolff
FAUCI AS, WOLFF SM. Wegener’s granulomatosis: studies in eighteen patients and a review of the literature. Medicine (Baltimore). 1973;52:535-61.
At least until November 2016 Fauci was fine with historical controls.
