Studies also showed COVID death wasn't reduced by steroid medication. For months the US NIH and WHO recommended MDs not give steroids. We now know that steroids reduce COVID death by 1/3rd.

Be careful what "studies" and "experts" you listen to.

The above has been one of the most quoted and cited medical studies in the world. It's by John Ioannidis, an epidemiologist from Stanford. Worth a read, along with his other writings about COVID. By the way, I believe it was Prof. Ioannidis who *nailed* the iFR rate from COVID.
