Guys like Fauci live in a bubble. Their lives are research, data, mathematical models. They rarely see the big picture that you must see if you’re in Trump’s position.
In other words, they’re bureaucrats. This “controlled study” crap is nonsense, particularly in a case like this. If it MAY work, why not try it damnit! It’s been used for about 80 years with no significant side effects. Furthermore, going through their years-long controlled, double-blind studies has put some pretty horrendous pharmaceuticals on the market that had to be yanked after they killed people. In this case, if it does save some people - which it obviously has and will - isn’t it worth it? What happened to the lefty mantra, “If it only saves one person...”?
