This is a big effect size at least, so less likely to be a fluke. Also many previous results indicate interferons (whatever they are, I don’t actually know!) are useful. I believe differences in interferon production between sexes also explain why men get worse Covid. So there is existing background information that makes it more likely to be true. Could still be a flop of course...
