You keep missing the point , there are Hospitals currently using this drug to successfully treat patients that are actually coming off of vents and going home . The only difference in administration a studied drug that you can look up the side effects on and this one is the ability of the Drs to acknowledge the effects before prescribing it . Hit to the vitals vs death . Simple choice for me , how about you if you are faced with the choice of taking it or not ?

ORLY?
Maybe it's the lovenox shot they're getting every day, maybe it's that the peep was dialed in just right. Maybe they don't have a severe comorbidity? What if them "coming off the vent and going home" was one of a thousand other variables?
Your error is the assumption that correlation equates to causation. How many people have come off the vent have recovered without the drug and with no risk of organ damage that it has been shown to cause?
