the caveat being "some patients".

And what would need to also happen is to look at long-term effects (if any) of use of that (even for a brief period), since we are still in the first year of this particular pandemic. An example of a similar anti-parasitic was the "common" drug pushed for prophylaxis - hydroxychloroquine (yes THAT stuff).

I.e., you had drugs like prednisone, that was touted as a miracle drug for those with rheumatism/rheumatoid arthritis, which it is, but it took decades of it being used and studied to really realize the impact of the dosing and weaning off of it, in order to adjust how it would be used as an anti-inflammatory and therapeutic, and at what cost to the patient (the "risk/benefit" ).
