It is more than people taking drugs that probably don't work. This also affects others who need those drugs for other proven treatments.
My son suffers from CNS Lupus and faces shortages for not only this but for immunotherapy drugs because of people grasping for straws in most cases. To some degree I fault doctors for prescribing drugs based on theory rather than proven therapeutic values. To a large degree the overuse of penicillin created more problems than solutions, guess we can’t learn from history. In the immortal words of Larry Morgan “you can’t fix stupid”.
