So, I can't be the only trans woman thinking if they're prescribing dudes estrogen in case they might get COVID, with the knowledge that the statistical advantage cis women have vs the disease being fairly minor, that means one of two things:

So they're just chucking whatever is in the cabinets at people and hoping it doesn't kill them faster?

Yeah that's what happens when people get desperate The reason the Hippocratic Oath mandates risk aversion ("First do no harm") is that physicians are under tremendous pressure all the time to "DO SOMETHING" with very limited information

And hey, guess what estradiol supposedly has 10% increase in risk of? Heart attacks! Also: blood clotting problems, you know, the big new way COVID kills, and also why they make you stop before surgery. Also, and I cannot stress this enough, *upper respiratory tract infection*

Let me restate that, they are giving as a prophylactic against a dreaded infection which predominately kills by upper respiratory tract infection and secondarily by blood clotting a drug which also does those things in up to 10% of cases
