Late last week, a "study" published on HCQTrial.com by an anonymous source claiming to be PhD scientists went viral. It claimed that countries that used hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 had a 79% lower fatality rate than those who didn't. It was horrible science and quickly debunked on Twitter by several epidemiologists. That didn't stop it from going viral. Disinformation like this during a pandemic is one of the most dangerous challenges we face.
