> On one side we have peer reviewed, published, studies showing it doesn't work and causes harm I understand the "doesn't work" at least when given late during the course of the disease (no idea when early, that's why we have RCTs to find out, otherwise it would be already done and deal), but causes harm? Aside the retracted study, even the deaths in the high dosage arm in the Brazil study, which prompted unmasking and lowered dosage, were defined "a statistically insignificant trend" (death is always serious, of course, but those words need to be taken into account). Unless by "causes harm" you mean for availability for treatment of other diseases, of course.
