The title is click-bait. This and other steroids have been used by doctors against COVID-19 from the beginning. So have blood thinners, and plenty of other medications, and even radiation. From what has been gathered so far, COVID leads to an attack on the endothelial layer of your blood vessels that is responsible for clotting. That causes potentially permanent damage and if immunity doesn't last long, also potentially accumulating cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal damage. From there COVID or the body's immune response can hit multiple organs at different times turning your life into a flimsy house of cards. Medicines for one organ can kill another (blood thinner targeting a clot in your body can and does cause a stroke, or some other issue). Just like a little push of the gas pedal or the breaks. The driver's (your doctor's) skill is far more important than a single medicine at this point.
