Oh absolutely, most studies use it at late stage (hospitals)where it has no chance to work, but at the minimum, those studies do not show that it is harmful. The new Lancet study is being used to shutdown any research into the drug, even at early stages because they did such a flawed analysis of the data - and showed that it kills people. So there is multiple issues. 1. its being used at late stage, 2. the data is being incorrectly analyzed to show harm. Because if the drug is neutral,they will still allow you to take it, but if they can come up with some research that it is harmful they have reason to deny it use and also take legal action against doctors who prescribe it.
