Really? Are you this uninformed? There is evidence being presented EVERYWHERE that the combination of HCD and the anti-bacterial Azir both of which have years of documented use are THE MOST effective drug combo on record and yet, when our President mentions this fact, this ass clown shoots it down in front of the anti-Trump American media.
This, despite the fact that various American Universities are backing up French, South Korean and other countries reports of seriously ill near-death patients gaining FULL RECOVERY with the application of this duo of well-established drugs.

I just want to know that there is actual evidence from controlled studies that the ‘stuff’ works - and works safely - on THIS disease.

Since you are so interested in mere political fallout: Can you imagine the trouble Trump and all of his team would find themselves in, if somebody died because the drugs just didn’t work in a particular case - any possible one of them?

(And my opinion doesn’t preclude the option of using it anyway, if the patient desires to try it. I just don’t think it should be approved for general use for a particular disease, until more studies are done that approve it effective and safe.)

AFAIK those clinical trials have been fast tracked but not concluded. Doctors working on diseases are empirical scientists; they need hard data and hard results, no exceptions. Unofficial early reports are not official conclusions and mean exactly nothing until they are official. During pandemics, there is urgency, not exceptions to how researchers working on cures do their jobs. What if they went with early "promising results", and were wrong and lots of people died? They have to be as sure about their results, as circumstances allow.
