"6,000 doctors surveyed" say hydroxychloroquine is effective.

Rating

"The claim is misleading. We believe it incorrectly reports the results of a survey of about 6,000 doctors in 30 countries published in April by a company called Sermo. We contacted the company and they provided data which showed that although 6,000 doctors were approached, only 2,171 responded to that particular question. Of those, just 37% chose hydroxychloroquine as the most effective treatment out of a list of 15 options. "
