More studies of more potential treatments, vaccines and cures are good because obviously we haven’t found a magic bullet, every tool possible should be explored.

Current and future studies will either show this Med is not effective (or dangerous) and should not be used… or they’ll show it works as another tool to fight this awful virus. I’m not so married to my enjoyment of a good horse paste meme, that I want to discount or ignore every possible option out there for relief.
