The Mayo Clinic gave plasma to 66,000 patients, but it wasn't a controlled study as no one got a placebo.
That's what Fauci, Collins and Lane objected to.

But, the convalescent plasma evidently did save some lives and I'm sure the survivors are grateful for it.

Personally, I think delaying the EUA was a mistake. They could've still done a study while allowing the use. There was no evidence the treatment was harmful and in some cases it was apparently helpful.
