I have always been saying that if an experimental medication application resulted in a useful effect observed in 1 subject out of 1000 this doesn't mean it's garbage and should be dismissed at this point, it can perfectly mean that one person was different in the same way 1 out of every other 1000 people is and 0.1% of the earth population is 7.55 million people still worth curing.
