Then by your own admission, your understanding is on a par with a paper plate.
"Peer-reviewed" does not mean "replicated."
"Peer-reviewed" means a group of qualified persons reviewed the methodology to determine if it was sound and conducted under scientific standards; another group of qualified persons reviewed the data to ensure no mathematical errors; and another group of qualified persons examined ethical considerations.
That's all it means.

So say you. I can guarantee you the hundreds of patients whose lives were saved due to the prescription of these medications would laugh you off the stage.
In a health crisis reliable is not a word we use frequently. Life is to precious to only want something "reliable".
Let me tell you a true story so that you can get your head on straight and help you understand that your rather miserly vision of drug treatment is not the way things happen. Perhaps at your desk you look for that type of data...We look for results often hour to hour minute to minute.
We had several patients present to the ER with symptoms of CoVid 19. The tests to determine positive or negative were useless so as a team we decided to dose them with Hydroxy, zinc, vitamin C and Zithromax.
We based our decisions upon anecdotal results (just those type of results which you disparage) and low and behold after 2-3 days they were better. Not just better but clinically substantially improved. Reduced fever, lung fields improved overall, off oxygen and more variables...all improved.
So in our world, where lives are on the line, we base our decisions upon the tried and true experiences of other medical professionals who are sworn to tell others what they've found.
So now you can relax in your barcalounger with your studies all you want and continue to criticize those of us who actually know what we are talking about and have the creditability to back it up.
