Your article is dated June 9th, it's irrelevant since the comments I linked to were made on May 20, 3 weeks earlier. Yes, the drug has been politicized. That still doesn't mean it doesn't or cannot work, and this Ford study states that it does in fact show promise in reducing death rates. All I'm saying is that the media planted its flag well before any conclusions could be made. Some politicians did as well (Trump, mostly), sure, but they never claim to be "objective." |

The medical establishment is conservative for good reason. You don't just pick a drug and start touting it as a cure all. And you certainly don't publicly propose it with little to no evidence.
From what I have seen in the media, they have correctly reported that the drug was being recommended by non-doctors and with little evidence. They may have gone too on the other side but given a lack of evidence the default assumption should always be that a drug is harmful until proven otherwise.
