The author’s overall point was that corrupt right-wing politicization of HCQ was a huge diversion of resources and public attention... as illustrated by your zeroing in on a single term from the the blog post and waving a contrary study from a small patient group. Your comment really doesn’t add much except distraction and confusion.
That cited source does not support the stated proposition, nor is the study I linked "contrary" to that opinion.
The NIH says there is little to no benefit for hospitalized inpatient COVID-19 cases, i.e., those who have already developed severe illness before ever being given HCQ. The study I linked found evidence that it is significantly helpful in the early stages, preventing most hospitalizations from occurring in the first place. There is nothing inherently contradictory between those two propositions.
This seems not much different from, e.g., Theraflu. You wouldn't call that ineffective, would you?
