I actually didn't know anything about what you presented here. I am really happy to have read your text!
Here, I am just so shocked about so many people mentioning this as a covid-19 treatment, moving on with paranoia with this professor being muted, etc... although studies are on-going (this seems to be absent from the media noise), most results seem to show there is no gain in taking it (this is also quite absent from the media noise), and so on (not discussing most side effects associated with the treatment). A lot of disinformation on this matter, IMHO...
I will advertise your blog to some ;)

Hi @lemouth,
Thanks so much for those words of support. Yes, it is dangerous and frustrating when science is muddled by politics. It's hard enough to get good answers from valid studies (we know these often contradict each other), but when misinformation is deliberately spread--that's dangerous.
As for the side effects of this drug: everything we take has a cost. That's just a fact. Not all of us have to pay that price, but some are negatively affected. Usually, doctors make a decision about the risk. I think patients should be able to participate in the decision, but they need information to do that. Every time I write a science article (as challenging as these are for me), I think my motivation is to arm people with information that they can use in every day life. Plus, I do love to write :))
Good health to you, your family and everyone we know (physically and virtually).
:)
