RE: I think it is obvious that the drug has some benefits if started early in the course of the disease. Not when someone is on intubation.
That was what Dr. Zelenko’s successful treatments on hundreds of patients concluded. And Zelenko kept emhpasizing it -— the purpose is TO PREVENT the disease from progressing to a point a patient has to be intubated !!
He repeated it in EVERY interview and even PUBLISHED IT!
I don’t know how many of these people who performed the trials even bothered to talk to him. Whatever it is, the unsuccessful trials were NOT DESIGNED to replicate Dr. Zelenko’s successful cases. Those who succeeded replicated what he did ( e.g. Dr. William Grace, Dr. Stephen Smith ).
Right exactly. Raoult intimated that when the patient can't swallow the pill that was the corollary for next treatment phase.
