The chainsaw was developed as a medical instrument by two Scottish doctors.

They certainly were, but for reference, they actually looked like this:

Now imagine waiting in the operating room as the Doctor brings out this:

While a chainsaw itself isn't still used, it was the forerunner of what we do still use. The chicken thing didn't work out obviously.

The point is, I don't think professional medicine needs to entertain every single idea for the sake of it.

It's a massive waste of time, we would need to train more people on the safety behind each of them, and more importantly, more efficient methods already exist that makes it redundant.

The old fashioned chainsaw is very cool.

The point is, I don't think professional medicine needs to entertain every single idea at trying to find a cure.

All we have now are vaccines that keep wearing off, that don't prevent spread, were built two variants ago, and have questionable effectiveness against what has now become a more mild variant of an already very survivable virus.

The covid vaccine is like the flu shot. We haven't been able to get rid of the flu this way, I don't see why there'd be any expectation it would get rid of covid. Since covid is apparently here to stay, we need viable alternatives.
