How much do you push? How many patients does it help? Would it be like the current shelves at Target a month ago ... where Renee' noticed that even though hydrogen peroxide sterilizes, the shelves were FULL of it, but there were no isopropyl alcohol bottles anywhere in the store. How much good does it do to have fridge shelves full of hydroxychloroquine when it only helps a tiny percentage of patients (if that)?  ... and what percentage of patients would it help again?

The point of the _science_ is unrelated to "the law", despite Dave's paranoia about the establishment. The point of the science is that we don't know what we're doing. It's not like stopping or not stopping at a red light. It's like adding chemical X to solution Y when we don't know what X or Y is in the first place. Once the science gives us high confidence about how much, when, who, etc, *then* it'll become more like running a red light.
