Having good results... based on what? Yeah, there was the Hasidic doc and


now some guy that said he gave it to a bunch of severely ill patients and every single one got better in six hours, or some similar bullshit.

If the death rate even for 70 something year olds is only 8% (from the Hopkins site) then if a doctor has 8 patients 70 - 80 year olds then half the time they will get better on the current standard regimen. If a doctor has 19 60 somethings then half the time they will all get better on the standard treatment. Before we go taking a drug away from lupus patients and others that need it we should be pretty sure that it does more good in coronavirus patients. We have exactly zero (at least publicly released) actual data that shows that. So sure, let's do a real study. Let's get some real numbers from real doctors that have documented how many patients in what condition they have given this to, and have not given it to and see if there is a statistically significant difference in outcomes. Until then I say it's 99 44/100% bullshit.
