I think convalescent plasma will end up being a chilling message for future pandemics about the importance of research. At this point, it's been given to 100,000s+ of patients, but we only just discovered that it's probably not beneficial

That being said, in the US ~alone~ it was given to 10,000s of people before a randomized trial was even started! This is a HUGE issue imo
