And your point is? I’m clearly aware that this is being tested off label.

If you’re going to ask me what my point is, it’s that if we’re desperate enough to fuck over the economy for your grandma’s remaining 10 years on this planet, and there’s people who are willing to have this administered off label in and attempt to save their lives and perhaps build enough evidence outside the FDA to have confidence in the treatment, then let ‘em.

But if you bitch about it, be sure to be last in line if it works.

Lol that's not how it works. You don't get shoved to the back of the line just because you're not willing to jump on board before testing is complete.

It’s also a good example of indirect effects on the healthcare system, because people depend on those drugs for lupus and other autoimmune diseases...if people randomly start pushed these drugs in huge numbers before knowing if they work, those people won’t be able to get those drugs either. To answer an earlier post, I’m a skeptic because these drugs were supposed to work against Ebola too, and they didn’t. Thankfully, we didn’t have to deal with that one.

Key words being "self-medicating" in this case. He wasn't using the pharmaceutical version, injected by nurses and supervised by a physician.

He bought some non-pharmaceutical tablets on ebay. It's the medical version of "Hey y'all, watch this!"
