      Wait, is he on a third experimental treatment? First he was on that antibody shit, then the the one that starts with a P, now this? Not to mention zinc, vitamin d, melatonin, and a steroid.

        It's not exactly experimental. I remember reading articles about it's use on critical covid patients since the beginning of the pandemic. It had more positive results than hcq

          Yep. A lot of the critical covid patients become critical when their immune system overreacts and starts just going nuts. Steroids suppress the immune system, as well as reduce inflammation. Definitely not an experimental drug by any means, it's been around for quite some time and has a ton of uses.

        Dexamethasone is a steroid, so it might be the one you were thinking of at the end.
