- The World Health Organization on Monday was cautious about endorsing the use of recovered COVID-19 patients’ plasma to treat people who are ill, saying evidence it works remains “low quality” even as the United States issued emergency authorization for such therapies. “There are a number of clinical trials going on around the world looking at convalescent plasma compared to the standard of care,” Soumya Swaminathan, WHO chief scientist, said.
“Only a few of them have actually reported interim results...and at the moment, it’s still very low-quality evidence,” she told a news conference. Reporting by John Miller in Zurich, Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Kate Kelland in London; Editing by Jon Boyle
WHO?
Always against what Trump is for.
WHO was against mask before they were for them
Not surprised! When has WHO supported anything other than their own vaccine agenda?
Must be good then. Fcck. WHO.
Yeah thanks Xi
If you're 1 of 100 Americans who just tested positive, forget cautious - you desperately want to try this treatment since it will prevent 35 of you from dying and are very thankful the US FDA has made it widely and quickly available.
WHOLiesPeopleDie!
Translation — China is cautious
Under Trump, the US Health agencies have become a damn joke. So embarrassing for our nation.
Manesh is also a Standard Bearer... Orange... A particular, orange... Fire...
why? because of supplies? be transparent and provide reasoning. it will save lives. are they concerned whose lives it will save? then say that.
That shit looks horrible. Imagine pumping that in your vein.
Cautious...as in “trying to figure out a way to make a buck off of it”?
This treatment has been used for months and in several other countries. The U.S. uses it and the WHO goes insane. They don’t want anyone to do anything but get a vaccination. There is something wrong with that.
hmmmmm
Is the WHO aware of convalescent plasma usage for the past century? Where were they when Ebola patients turned the corner for the better after receiving it? Are they aware that they are questioning every critical care MD out there? I didn't know if this was political at first...
Nobody in their right mind gives a crap what the WHO has to say...
Desperate political stunt by Trump!
Of course they did
What is low quality
WHO cautious on any other kind of COVID-19 treatment other then Bill Gates Vaccine..
mayawiley JoeNBC morningmika Columbia BarbaraBoxer MRubio was 'quoting' the Bible calling JB a 'false prophet'. He need not look far from the GOP. IT says 2 stay in God's word. 2 love justice, kindness, & 2 walk humbly with your God. text VOTE to 30330 for Democracy.
The WHO are complicit knowing China released the virus, I wouldn't take a thing they say with any seriousness.
dont worry this has nothing to do with trump threatening to fire people if not approved
