It’s unfair to call treatments untested. Medications are tested extensively. The FDA could work with sponsors to come up with a range of risk profiles and expand access.

They indeed do this and have various avenues for treatments to be approved on expedited timelines.

I agree: not completely untested, but not tested sufficiently to get an FDA approval. They show early promising results.

BTW people picking such experimental treatments would provide important data points.
