That's why I questioned, what 12x highlighted in his post....it was something to the effect that maybe COVID was responsible for the early dropouts...

Not necessarily. Both arms were concerned about Covid. The treatment arm had some symptoms that the placebo arm did not. Those symptoms did not have to rise to the level of an adverse event to amplify the heightened awareness created by the concern over catching Covid.

A slight nudge of very mild side effect combined with Covid paranoia could easily take someone over the tipping point and lead to withdrawl.
