this is a 100% bogus “study” ...
even CBS notes this caveat about this “study”:
“There are some big caveats: The study enrolled people through the Internet and social media, relying on them to report their own symptoms rather than having them tracked in a formal way by doctors. Participants were not all tested for the coronavirus but were diagnosed as COVID-19 cases based on symptoms in many cases. And not all took their medicines as directed.
The results “are more provocative than definitive,” and the drug may yet have prevention benefits if tried sooner or in a different way, Dr. Myron Cohen of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill wrote in a commentary in the journal.”

this isn’t a legitimate study, it’s just complete garbage CLAIMING to be a study ...
I believe they’re addressing the discredited earlier Lancet trial.
This study discounts Zinc IMO, but at least seems scientific.
The study enrolled people through the Internet and social media, relying on them to report their own symptoms rather than having them tracked in a formal way by doctors.
So this is the 'rigorous study' that CBS News is pushing? An Internet poll? Seriously?
A voluntary study with no actual hard data.
Isn’t that special.
