The plasma, taken from patients who have recovered from Covid-19 and developed antibodies against the virus, is infused in sick patients. Scientists hope it helps kick start the immune system to fight the virus. A study ofand sponsored by the National Institutes of Health suggested the plasma may reduce mortality in some hospitalized patients. Though the study had no placebo group to compare the results, making it hard to determine whether the treatment actually worked.
"This is a powerful therapy that transfuses very, very strong antibodies from the blood of recovered patients to help patients battling an infection. It's had an incredible rate of success," Trump said Sunday evening at a White House briefing discussing the EUA, calling it a "breakthrough." "Today's action will dramatically expand access to this treatment."
She said countries can use it on an emergency basis "if they feel the benefits outweigh the risks, but that's usually done while awaiting the more definitive evidence, which is yet to come." "It doesn't look like a home run, but right now we're looking for singles and doubles. There aren't really going to be any home runs on the horizon until we can get the other therapeutic antibodies on the market and hopefully eventually vaccines and better therapeutics."
TrumpBashing
only Satan understands and dictates d. trump's moves and decisions !
The problem with idiots who say “I stand with science” as their defense for everything, when science is very rarely settled. Some scientists believe- and the data supports- that this works in specific subsets of patients. CNBC legitimately wants all progress to fail until Nov 4.
naturally Trump should of said he don't believe plasma works.
It would appear ScottGottliebMD is upset that he’s no longer the leader US_FDA It’s tragic the comments he would make realDonaldTrump because plasma does work but FakeNews such as CNBC just run articles for publicity rather than to help the general public.
Oh here we go... It will be banned within a month.
Off course they do they are left lunatics.
