That’s not correct, at all.
First of all, they discovered the surprising fact that asthma sufferers were not even in the top ten of co-morbidities regarding COVID - it was surprising since COVID kills because the immune system over-reacts in attacking the virus, causing the infamous ‘cytokine storm’, and massive inflammation of the lungs, so that oxygen can’t get in the alveoli sacs in the lungs - and athsma sufferers already have lung and breathing issues.
They then determined that the reason asthma is not a top co-morbidity is that they already take drugs that lower lung inflammation - such as myself, who takes the steroid Advair daily.
Enter Dr. Bartlett and the anti inflammatory steroid Budesonide, a cheap and safe steroid given to premature newborns for their lungs.
Dr. Bartlett tried Budesonide and found it worked astoundingly well. Once word got around, Dr Bartlett had desperate family calling him about their loved ones who were near death, on a ventilator, and the hospital wanted permission to pull the plug, and let them die, Dr. Bartlett gave them budesonide in a nebulizer, and within a few days they recovered completely - often improving dramatically within the first day - and this happened with multiple patients on a ventilator near death.
Subsequently an Oxford university study showed that Budesonide reduced the need for hospitalization from COVID by an astounding 90%!
Here:
Oxford study showed budesonide reduced the relative risk of requiring urgent care or hospitalisation by 90% in the 28-day study period. Participants allocated the budesonide inhaler also had a quicker resolution of fever, symptoms and fewer persistent symptoms after 28 days.

Budesonide works, it works early or late with COVID, and it is a steroid, and that’s what steroids are for - reducing inflammation, and inflammation is what kills COVID patients - not the virus itself.
Whistleblowing doctors, virologists, immunologists, and researchers worldwide correctly state that 85% of the deaths from COVID were completely unnecessary, and were caused by withheld efficacious treatments, especially Budesonide.
Nebulizers are 40 dollars and budesonide is cheap,, safe, and effective.
