Hopefully the timestamp works so it jumps straight to how the “study” about hydroxychloroquine has a few gaps to it and is not the be-all end-all treatment for what’s going on. The whole video is worth a watch, but I highly recommend everyone see that part of the video to make some sense as to why “positive results =/= confirmed cure” in studies and trials .

Well, if they did it properly, then it would have accurate results, which means it would be too useful for Donny to quote every day . Duh.

he’s the type of guy Trump would fire for being too competent and knowledgeable.

It’s his “quirk” (and "features") . You’ll get used to it. He also uses it as a means to highlight and emphasize important facts and detailed explanations by starting with the technical as he breaks it down for the layman.

It’s a bit of a rush job for this one so the tone is a bit inconsistent. He usually keeps the deliberate pace up for the entire video. Even if it isn’t your bag, at least it’s consistent, but the rush editing meant he proabbly used some takes where he broke stride and flipped back and forth. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing, but I’ve been a big fan of his content and he does a good job helping make some sense of the chaos.

Even in a well designed study, correlation does not mean causation.

But I suppose if ”alternative facts” are  policy then why should good science get in the way.
