Well, to be absolutely honest, it is near fucking impossible to verify if any drug will have any effect since the death rate is extremely low.
You'd need samples in the million size ballpark to make sure that your drug is saving people instead of, you know, they healing on themselves of the flu.
Think about it the other way: if the death rate was a solid 100% and with the drug it goes down to 90%, you can be sure that the 10% increased survivability is traceable to the drug.
They are going to pull this shit with the vax: They will claim it works and inject a billion people with it, the say "Look it's working so incredibly well the death rate is down to 0.4%!!!"

Drug companies love the idea of being able to sell a black box drug that cost $5000 and is no more than just a placebo of saline.
So President Trump recovered that quickly All On His Own! Long Live GEOTUS!
