President Trump announces his admin. is providing an emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19, a treatment that more than 70,000 patients have already received.

to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients, which the agency said carries too many risks without any apparent benefit.

"They want to do things the way they’ve always done it," Meadows said of career staffers at the FDA."This president is about cutting red tape. That’s what the tweet was all about." In July, former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, called on Trump to"assure us all that the White House will respect the independent authority of the FDA to decide, free from political pressure, if the vaccine is safe and effective."

Well,well dhitler has found his own Mengele to do his vivid experiments.

TODAYshow Lmfao you all would take a shot of anything unless trump signed off. Stay scared in your homes and lose out on your time and life you will never get back

im pretty sure New York state has already been doing this for a couple of months... even if they were not.i wouldnt call it much of a breakthrough

And over 700,000 have received Hydroxychloraquine treatments soooo what’s your point?

Next, Trump will claim he has discovered the cure for polio.

Good, I think all of his White House buddies should be the first trial out including him.

Trump tries to own someone else's glory , again

COVID patients have already been receiving plasma. This will probably be some big announcement at the convention this week.

Listen to this DESPERATE LUNATIC, if you want to

This treatment was news months ago.

Does this mean Trump is going to take the plasma from the elderly people in convalescent homes 🙄

TODAYshow More bad reporting. As it wasn’t FDA approved. Doctors were having trouble getting it. Now they won’t. It’s a big deal.

Another PR stunt to make himself look like he's doing something about Covid-19.

Done to assuage his base before the CONVENTION! Bullcrap!!!!

Nothing to see here move along

TODAYshow Lol this photo just makes me laugh.....

This process is not new, nor is it 'breakthrough.' From the basis of determining overall effectiveness, an EU designation is of questionable value. It relies on N of 1, there will incredible variability, so we're quite unlikely to be able to make much sense out of its use.

Political interference in the FDA.

No thanks realDonaldTrump. This is just another one of your political stunts. Curious how there were no credible Doctors/Scientists at your announcement. You did have your new fake Fox News Doctor, who doesn’t sound nor appear knowledgeable about anything related to COVID19.

Wonder if the twat will put the contract to supply the plahhhsmah out to tender or award it to one of his failing stocks....better give him a prod b4 he makes sn even bigger tit of himself....

Bwahahahaha. The hits just keep on coming

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Such an a-s!!

So he’s approving that they already did it?🤷🏽‍♀️ TrumpsVirus

Ummm. Hasn’t this been going on worldwide since, IDK, around April? I could swear I saw numerous people (Andy Cohen for one) saying they donated their plasma.

TrumpLiesAmericansDie as well as .PeterNavarro45 forced .SteveFDA to lie to the AmericanPeople using tRumpTime. Dr. Hahn need not talk to the AmericanPeople anymore as we not be able to believe you. Coronavirus COVID19 VoteGOPout 2020 Resist indivisible 🌊

SO, THE DEEP STATE AT TGE FDA IS NO LONGER TRYING TO MAINTAIN VALID RECOGNIZED SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Doctor Trump. Well, he’s not a doctor but he did spend the night at a Holiday Inn. Yeah, that makes about as much sense as him recommending a medical treatment. I be it’s been checked out and approved by the My Pillow guy.

This is what a President is supposed to look like.

Just a formality (and less red tape) for hospitals to use if they want to use it. It is not full proof. This announcement is not a big deal... realDonaldTrump

Thank you mr president

Did he get it from the Pillow Guy ? No thanks. I won’t trust anything coming out of the Trump FDA. The FDA no longer has the credibility it used to enjoy before Trump politicized it with overseers.

Smoke and mirrors for election purposes

The FDA Authorized The Use Of Convalescent Plasma To Treat COVID-19Scientists say plasma collected from the blood of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 may be beneficial, but rigorous trials have not yet proven that it’s an effective treatment. Without evidence? They saved 35/100 people using it. How is that not evidence? Where is the evidence that masks stop covid? 🤦🏽
