It's pretty easy to understand. The idea is that the recommended doses are demonstrably not lethal. They may or may not be effective. The effective dose (if any) may or may not be lethal.

I don't know enough to evaluate any of the claims, I only wish to note the logic is pretty easy to follow.

I suspect you already understood all of this and chose to misunderstand to ... "win" the argument?

Please edit swipes out of your posts here. Your comment would be fine without that last bit.

Except what you wrote isn't what the parent comment wrote. If we know what doses other people are prescribing as "effective", then we do know the effective dose. Their immediate sentence before said we don't know the effective dose. And you accuse me of being obtuse. This is aside from the point that there's an effective (and not lethal dose) of Ivermectin for treating parasites. It does not follow that that same dosage would be effective for covid. We have no idea what that effective dose might be for covid, if any. It could be lethal, it could not be. That's the entire point.
