It's possible that a person might recover from COVID-19 without any special medicine - and we know this, because tens of thousands of people have recovered from it, without any special medicine. It's also possible that this medicinal cocktail can provide an effective treatment. It is ALSO possible that this medicinal cocktail, when taken by the wrong person, will kill that person. The same person who MIGHT have recovered without any special medicinal intervention at all.

We don't know, that this medicine is both effective AND safe to use for this particular sickness. We know it's safe and effective for malaria for MOST people (there are exceptions here too). But this isn't malaria and a chemical interaction between the virus and the drug and the OTHER drug this is being combined with - could very well be a death sentence, to someone who might not have died without it.
Going on a ventilator is more than likely a death sentence so given the choice of a vent or a malaria pill, guess which way most would go. Europe is using this cocktail with great success in France and Spain. But let’s put our head in the sand and not try because of “maybe” and “perhaps”.
