Placebo's definitely are an effective tool in the fight against mental anguish.
As for keeping those infected out of hospital. I dont see evidence of that. I read a lot of media reports and politicians telling us "it shows" that. But no I dont believe the evidence is clear on that and also highly dubious with accuracy.
e.g.
In the United States there is direction from the CDC that those who have recieved these placebos be tested differently to those who have not. I do not believe any main stream politician anymore. Even those that I voted for last federal election.
