So “only” 6 patients were cured? Tell me how many DIED because of the treatment? I read none.

So without debating you on what you have said because I have not looked into it (you provided no link....very strange) although I suspect it will itself be flawed, why shouldn’t we try this treatment.

Of course my question is rhetorical because in fact we ARE using this medication and that has nothing to do with the French study.

”I read none [died]”

My recollection is that six people were dropped from the treatment group and that three were in critical condition. The study did not follow up on those. Focusing on the six who were “cured” while not knowing the fate of these other six is a serious shortcoming.

To paraphrase what I posted earlier, getting the right result is not a substitute for scientific rigor. The authors of the study are well aware of its limitations.
