Of course we should want the best data sets. No one disagrees. But while we’re building that, if all one has is anecdata, you make the best decision you can.
I don’t know what the aggressive desire to make the perfect the enemy of the best-info-we’ve-got is here. Particularly when the experimental use is creating the data set needed for more comprehensive study.
By the way, if I get it and have difficulty with breath, I’ll now know to go to ER ASAP, and if I’m found to have Covid, I’ll ask for the drugs. I won’t wait and later need a ventilator. And if I fall into the 2% of people who suffer cardiac issues, I’ll have been amazingly unlucky. If I recover by aid of the drug, I’ll have been saved by making a shrewd cost/benefit assessment. If it doesn’t help me, I was probably dead no matter what I did.
Think like a trader, not a lawyer. Works better in this sort of situation.
