Plausability. - The 'solution' and efficacy of the claimms for this drug cannot be replicated in any controlled trial - 4 major trials all conducted by different groups - all confirm that it does more harm than good.
Probability. - The odds are that those making claims have other motives or are seeing other drug interactions and treatment interventions and aren't capturing the data in a controlled manner and are guessing. ON my NHS trust we don't us it, as it's not a standard of care, but we are achieving much higher than they quote survivability rates.
Certain groups are claiming it's our locally made gin and the botanticals that it's made with.
Profitability. - I have been part of groups that have debunked many conspiracies and or conspiratorial theories, and when you do get close to the willing believers sooner or later you find the rationale for much of this is to make money out of the gullible, either because they don't understand the monitorisation of social media (a friend makes 250k a year by being an 'influencer' on social media), and some of the Amercian Conspracy theorists have literally made a career out of it along with making themselves millionaires from it.
The preprint servers of the the World are now (rightly being pushed to the limited) with papers and this should be so, as serious science groups look at their tehories or findings for empirical evidence (i.e. evidence that their guesses.theories.findings can be replicated).
IN hydro's case, that has been done and found completely wanting - so who's pushing it? There are several non-pharma manufacturers in the US who make it outside of a licence because they make no claim as to it being a medicine - and so it sits in the same category of effectiveness as vitamins, but not made to the same standard.
These companies are absolutely coining iin with huge massive leaps in revenues since this all started.
The first ever claim for it was in treating cancer - and I know this as it was recommended to me when my wife was being treated for cancer, by a credible specilalist, later it was found he was making all sorts of claims for it and making a small fortune out of doing so.
So I have exhaustively invesitigated this drug and those who manufacture it - just so that you all know it was originally created by the Chinese during the Korean war as a cheap 'help drug' to combat malaria and was billed as such for many many years with all sorts of incredible claims for what it could do. It was mainly to convince their own troops that they shouldn't fear getting a life long disease i.e. malaria and should make the forest/woods swamps their 'home' in the fight against the American's. The Amercians couldn't understand how the Chinese never seemed affected by Malaria - of course they were, but the Amercians never understand that the Chinese had even bigger reserves than they figured, so whilst Malaria affected their fighting strength, it never seemed to affect the Chinese and so, the 'legend' of this drug began...
After the Korean and Vietnam war, guess what the Chinese had to do with the 50 years of stocks it had accumulated?
They started dumping it in the west after having run a viral campaign that made utterly ridiculous claims for efficacy - as they did so, they tightened supplies and watched the tablet selling price increase by a factor of 80.- the lore/the legend was now unassailliable and has endured ..the Chinese must have laughed their heads of when Trump gave it the sort of push they could have spent billions on trying to make happen..
the drug has been invesitgated by credible scientists and global Pharma's many times and every time the claims made for it have been found to have absolutely no substance - as I found to my cost.
Horse Shit. The above is the conspiracy theory.
