Informed consent is the key phrase in this. If there are now peer reviewed studies that prove that it is effective then the doctors can be having those conversations and provide evidence of the studies to the patients so they can have that inforation to make up thier own minds.

However the revew that the Lancet published sounds like it may have been flawed if 150 scientists had concerns and the research paper cited 73 deaths from COVID-19 in Australia by April 21, when official case counts only reported 67 deaths by the same date.

Does he listen to Credlin?
