See my post above. (I work at a university that does medical research including on covid during the early pandemic). There was an idea behind why it might work. Early lab studies showed some effect. But the body is complicated and when used in a human, like most proposed drugs, it didn't work out.
In the end, it didn't work in the body because it never reached the concentration needed to do that in the lung cells which were the front line of the infection. As most proposed drugs, it didn't work out, and people wasted their time with it during the illness instead of getting to the doctor.
In the case of hydroxychloroquine it had a pretty reasonable proposed mechanism of action (interfering with a needed membrane fusion for the virus to infect the cell). But the researchers had to deal with a political fight over it.
Trump needed to shut up and let the researchers do their work.
My guess is this will be pointless but fairly innocuous. It will likely start happening from time to time. Maybe with getting the generals to sign some noncontroversial pledge or other largely meaningless document. The point is to repeat it until the commanders regard it is routine and automatic.
I think we're getting to the involuntary custody being warranted point. He's a danger to others and perhaps himself. Even if werewolves do heal up from physical abuse.
