And I wish that more folks would recognize that the “anecdotal” evidence of certain windows of efficacy have piled up enough evidence to make it worthwhile as other treatments are developed and tested....there’s more medical evidence about it being useful than anything else under test at this time...unless all them doctors/nurses and other on front lines are just telling tales...as they dose themselves and their staffs with it as a potential palliative.
I’d take it, personally. but anyone thinking it’s some miracle panacea who don’t have an appropriate Ph.D. shouldn’t really be listened to, at least not as to efficacy.
It’s the people who regard apply emotion and partisan reasoning (’our side said it, so anyone who disagrees with it is evil) who make me sick. It might work, it might not, it’s certainly worth a try and I’ve pretty much always thought the only job of the FDA was to verify that food or drugs were what was claimed, I see nothing in my copy of the constitution that gives any governmental entity any say in what goes in my body. But some people get really wound up at every bit of scientific skepticism, which is stupid.
From the start of this mess I’ve said the same thing- anyone without a doctorate in a pertinent medical or scientific discipline should just STFU except for the President and Congress who also have to balance other factors like the economy and international relations. I’m just prejudiced, my FIL was a doctor, my MIL a nurse; people without 8-10 years of college study should be ridiculed when they pontificate, be they from left or right.
