- shadowgovt 6y agoIt's known precisely how it is dangerous (well-understood side-effects) and it's understood, given those side-effects, to be safer than having the diseases it treats. Since it's not proven to treat COVID-19, and it has side-effects that can include an irregular heart rhythm, administering it to treat COVID-19 does harm without proven good and may violate a practitioner's Hippocratic oath (and, for an individual self-dosing, may just make the situation worse).
