  4. No. It has been used medically in certain countries but it does require double blind studies to have a proper standard to be used clinically. It is not the only drug that is being used for treatment with potential. Forsynthia was not a medical treatment in existence.

  5. Why call him a lying creep. Are the CDC even aware of this or the WHO. It has been used in Korea and several other countries. The UK has blocked the sale of its supplies.

  6. The professionals are slow and rarely want to adapt anything. There are several other drugs that can be used as well and yet they are not considering them. chloroquine was also considered for the original SARS outbreak.

  7. So was Forsythia used medically in any context? Several countries have already proposed this within their health system. It was even going to be used to treat the original SARS outbreak before it was controlled.
