This doesn't work outside of laboratory conditions.

It's the equivalent of "doctors find cure for cancer (in mice)."

I like that example, everytime you hear about some discovery that x kills 100% of cancer cells in a petri dish. You always have to think, so does bleach.

Nice, maybe we should try injecting bleach. I heard it also cures Covid!

You ever heard of Miracle Mineral Solution? It's bleach with extra steps and some of the 5G loonies give their autistic kids enemas with it to drive out the "toxins" giving their kids autism.

It hasn't worked much outside of the laboratory, because they just released it from the laboratory. They've already proven it works in their paper with about 90% effectiveness.

Yeah I wouldn't take this number at face value, let's wait for some real world usage
