Not sure what they are giving now, but that was part of the standard cocktail our local hospital was using to treat patients during the first months.
I haven’t seen it used in months. We’ve moved on to things with far better data.
You saw it used firsthand?
In the early days, but I can’t remember the last time I saw it used.
Did it work?
Hard to know.
Therein lies the problem.
Exactly. It requires rigorous analysis.
What I do know, is that we aren’t really using it and our mortality rate is improving.
Dr's are using off lable and getting great results.. Only left wing echo chambers are screaming at the sky and ignoring the facts.
You have stories like this, which are difficult to ignore.
As our nation battles a pandemic viral outbreak and suffers from the effects of the resulting national shutdown, the last two weeks have produced some very heartening developments.

They’re quite easy to ignore actually. Random doctors from their own little clinics make claims all the time that are not backed up the way they should be.
That’s not how evidence based medicine works.
Did you read his background? Very impressive. I do not believe he is lying.
This Dr Steven Smith is just some random community doctor. Same with this Dr Robin Armstrong and that random NY GP Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. What’s so impressive?
He went to Yale....pretty impressive.
In medicine, graduating medical school is barely the beginning of a career. If that’s all, then it’s not very impressive.
How many %wise in the US would have that sort of acumen and especially from Yale? Less than 1%...to me its very impressive. And he is not fat.
If you're still fat in today's day and age then you deserve everything you get. You're better off smoking.
It takes a lot more than that to make a name in the medical community.
To some. Given his educational background and experience I'd trust him. Do you have a medical degree?
Sounding impressive to you isn’t exactly the point.
It is. I am the general public. Just because you're not impressed doesn't mean 99% of the population would not be.
I bet 9/10 on this board would find these creds impressive. I believe him over you.
