'''Flawed coronavirus treatment studies''' are being promoted by [[Opposition to Donald Trump|Never-Trump]]ers, particularly as a way to disparage the effective treatment of [[hydroxychloroquine]].

The three most prominent flaws in these flawed studies are:
* a placebo is not used for the control group, and instead another treatment is used which might also be effective (such as doses of Vitamin C)
* the patients studied are all very sick and thus unlikely to respond to any effective medication
* the patients studied are all relatively healthy and thus likely to recover regardless of the effectiveness of medication

Reports of inclusive results with the use of hydroxychloroquine typically have one of the above design flaws, perhaps intentionally so by someone who cares most about defeating President Trump for reelection, or perceives his employer or funding source for the study to have that priority.
