You can come up with all the metaphysical doubts about the validity of the FDA study. My point was merely that this was a funny dialogue:

You: I talked to some doctors and the drugs work. In fact, any argument that risk of the harms from the drugs might outweigh the benefits is pure sophistry.

Ty (months later): The FDA did a study and concluded the drugs are unlikely to work, and that the risk of harms, including serious cardiac illness, from the drugs outweighs any potential benefits.

You: I was right!!!

I'll also note that your probing skepticism of the FDA study (some of which may be valid -- as you note, we don't know a lot), is in striking contrast to your willingness, based on one post from a lawyer on an internet chatting board who said that he knew some other guy that was really sick, took the drug, and got better, that the drugs not only "all but assuredly" were the cause of this guy's cure, but that they were generally effective as cures for COVID.

I think you’re emotional and biased to the extent it clouds your thinking. I think Icky is exactly the opposite. Does that explain it?
