I'm pretty sure there were actually some doctors who were prescribing it

There's a depressingly non-trivial number of doctors who aren't above making a quick buck through quackery.

Yes, and most were disciplined because they were describing medication that was not intended for nor effective at treating covid. Still, there were very, very few doctors who did so.
