Since his diagnosis, Trump has received these key interventions: supplemental oxygen, steroids, an experimental antibody cocktail, and the antiviral medication remdesivir.a professor of infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee."I think most good hospitals would provide the basic structure of that sort of treatment to their patients across the country.
"We're in a bit of uncharted territory when it comes to a patient that received the therapies he has so early in the course," Dr. Sean Conley, the White House physician said at a press briefing Monday.believe that the fact that Trump's oxygen levels dipped below 94% at times and that he received these treatments is evidence that he was sicker than reported.
The unit usually has between five and eight physicians, six nurses , and other medical staff, he says.
So.... maybe the medical community should get their act together and make this treatment available to all
Big group of quacks
Figures
Sounds like that would be the type of treatment that would need a great deal of transparency for the medical community to analyze. NDAs from Trump prevent that. Is anyone surprised?
I wonder who is lying: President said, 'but I spent four days there (Walter Reed), and I went in, I wasn't feeling so hot, and within a very short period of time, they gave me Regeneron' Dr. Conley's memo says, 'President received the antibody infusion in the White House'
I’ve never heard of anything so ridiculous. Experiment on the president? Was he in such a desperate situation that required that? He walked to the helicopter with no assistance right? None of this adds up.
Of course not, its only for the rich
And he got it free!!!! What about the rest of us
Walter Reed like Harvard. Not so impressive anymore.
And all for only $750.
JenniferCody
Wow. And it didn’t cost him a dime.
You say this like the president doesn't make 6 figures and get healthcare for having a high profile, stressful job, like if you were a CEO or other 6 figure position that people fight tooth and nail to get. More inflammatory headlines making me lose respect for NPR
Isn’t that disgusting because he only paid $750 in taxes and gets all the medical care he wants. President or not it’s an insult to those who can’t afford health care and pay much more in yearly taxes.
Wait; stop the press; you can’t make this up; now you are complaining that you do not have access to the treatments that you’ve been complaining doesn’t work? If Trump cured Cancer tomorrow NPR would start a go fund me account for Tumors.
The man was in and out of the hospital in 3 days. He worked the entire time. What's wrong with this picture that others can't also get these meds?
Not yet, but he clearly stated he wanted everyone to have access to same treatment. Oh, in case you forgot, he is POTUS. That does come with some privileges.
No access because who the heck would have the guts to try it yet
Including Stem Cells from fetal tissue which conservatives once said was satanic and QAnon wants people murdered for.
45 is the least deserving American to receive this treatment.
Are we okay that that drumph was the only one given an experimental drug cocktail? What if it went south, and he turns into the blob, or like when the Russians give it to the opposition.?
OMG!! Enough already!!! You are sick!!! NPR is disgusting.
I still pray he joins the 210,000 victims of the trump virus. He can hold his rallies in hell.
President Trump declares that his COD19 recovery is a blessing from Almighty Cod. Sounds very fishy indeed to me!
Yes, He Received: Hydroxy Chloraquine + Azithromycin + Zinc, Which is the Real Cure!! Some reports say he received Remdisivir, but that is False. That drug is Not FDA approved.
Most rich and famous people have access to all the worlds luxuries that poor people don’t. Why is this news to anyone?
in other news that bitch didn't have shit
In effect, Trump is a national guinea pig. Did Trump request this ' cocktail! of drugs? Why wasn't the 25th amendment activated, since doctors had no knowledge as to the outcome of this treatment? Has anyone checked the cognitive function of the President?
he never had it .
Hydroxychloroquine is the cure.
The best treatment $750 can buy. Imagine what treatment common folks will get with all the taxes we pay.
He got the expensive antibodies but he ended up needing the cheap steroids that regular folks get anyway.
And if things go bad they can blame this combo of drugs
Just throwing the kitchen sink at it isn't 'cutting edge' Its stupid and reckless
Fresh air, exercise and disinfectant.
Of course. We paid $1,675 in taxes the same year our orange overlord paid $750 and I couldn't even get a f*cking test in February when I was sick for 2 weeks. AND we have full coverage insurance so 🤷🏻♀️
The rich will always have everything. Stop voting for their agenda. Hey pro lifers: the Cocktail had Embryonic Stem Cells.
King Frederick's reverse psychology potato ploy in action...
POTUS should offer this to the staff he has been in contact with.
Of course he did. Let them take bleach....... right Marie
So, rich royalty gets better care than average people... say more.
So now we want the treatment the President was getting? I thought we wanted to slow the new treatments down to be safe?
President Trump did not have to worry about the costs of his coronavirus treatment, which are covered by the federal government His care would cost most patients more than $100,000 in US health system Most American aren't accessible to such hospitalized
Yes, by all means experiment on 45creature!
Since we know relatively little about co-19, all therapies are experimental. Remdesivir, developed during Covid-2 (Trump's timeline doesn't add up.) has yet to be approved and is in test mode currently. It has not been widely available for that reason. 'An excess of caution.'
Capeheritjamie What better way to show it works than to be the first to use it?
it’s All About Donald Trump
What’s the point of this story? The Pres got exceptional care? News flash, he’s not the first leader to receive care, & the clinic & medical staff did not suddenly appear at the WH in Jan 2017. This is a poor story & demonstrates a bias beyond what normally appears in NPR.
billionaires get more love sorry
The question becomes, why would they give the President something so experimental that would probably do more harm than good?
“It will be free” and “China will pay for it” “it was my idea” TrumpLiedAmericansDied TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks
So what is wrong in this? After all it is 'pandemic of unprecedented circumstances with rapid spread' and do or die situation. And of course it is informed decision making and patient choice and autonomy ThePlandemic realDonaldTrump elonmusk
There goes the elitism!
Fingers crossed that the mypillow guy finally convinced him to take lots of oleandrin 🤞
And WE are paying for all of his care.
Off course not.He’s the President and your not,leading our country , fighting fake media , the Dem communists and the weirdos from Hollywood,the treasonous Obama’s Deep State plus to garnish from European delinquent countries what they took from us $$, not a walk in the park .
Don’t waste the expensive medicine on someone who claims he is totally fine.
What are the side effects if you have astma,and obesity
Notable fact: A whole lot of medically experimental guinea pigs DIE.
Cleavon_MD Lets hope the experiment flunks
GuineaPigTrump
The coronavirus is Mongolian biological weapon! If don't believe it, they may slowly end killing humanity!
Have they tried Propofol?
Rules for thee, but not for me.
mydoggigi If COVID19 Does NOT Kill Trump, He Can THANK BARACK OBAMA. Three Medicines Trump Was Given Were Developed On OBAMAS WATCH To COMBAT EBOLA. Trump Is One Of 10 People On Planet Who Was Given This Combo Of Drugs. My Question? Why Aren't These Available To EVERY AMERICAN W/COVID19?
I miss my Mom..a month n 3 days ago she passed away from Covid19. I miss my Mom 😔
Cleavon_MD But he advises his cultists not to be afraid of covid. He’s such an asswipe. And they’re so gullible. I hope he can pull some of that same stuff outta his ass when they start dropping like flies. Well, they can go through the whole course of the disease - just for experience.
Cleavon_MD Have you looked at his face ?
Hope they didn't create some sort of Frankenstein.
This is simply false. It's new but it will be available to all Americans at no cost. I expect you to retract this.
How is Chris Christie doing? That man is older, fatter and has asthma. Did he get the cocktail?
Why know word on details of any treatment(s) the First Lady received or is receiving? Care and attention the President is broadcasting as receiving is in stark contrast to silence about the care the First Lady received or is receiving given they were infected about the same time.
But he hoped others would get by with disinfectant and bleach.
They have the cure for a lot of things it turns out as long as you’re the president 😱
Cleavon_MD Nobody is Immortal.
Not for everyone -
Covid lab rat realDonaldTrump Someone has to be the gueina pig.
Would Dems make a big fuss if it was Obama receiving unconditional care? No! Then, any sitting active American President has earned the privilege to have the best care in the world. Go on Mr. President, get the best care in the universe 🙌🏼
Maybe they don’t like Trump and bombing his body with a cocktail of untested medicines was the first real assassination attempt I for one won’t shed a tear if his treatment fails
Awww. You would fault anything he does.
So your problem with his treatment is that it worked and could be beneficial for all those affected? Shouldn't we be asking the medical field to replicate this treatment for everyone then? Not understanding the problem here....
And when he loses the election he’s going to blame it on the drugs and/COVID.
Sounds dangerous. Good luck protectbiden
Fact check

If we take it do we have to snort the Adderll chaser too?
And other wealthy people
Is that what it took to save PresidentTrump from dieing from COVID19? -IJS
His doctors should be ashamed of themselves.
Granted, he’s the president so he would receive healthcare options the public wouldn’t have access to. That being said, his continued downplaying of the virus for political gain is disgusting and narcissistic. It is the opposite of the strong leadership needed in times like these
Rover829 Not for KamalaHarris tho VPDebate2020
I saw this coming at 2AMlast Friday morning and I also knew he would use this treatment to proclaim himself superior and the virus not lethal. I hate that he is corrupting science now too
Is it the 750$!!!
And strangely, hydroxychloroquine was nowhere to be found. sarahcpr must have talked about this?
Rover829 If FDA “allows” it tomorrow, you will scream “rushed to win election”. Give us a break!
Regeneron is made out of blood and human stem cells, what does Pence think about this And all the pro life republicans? Anyone?
Gee and he lived! All your naysaying is boring
That’s GREAT !!!
I know right? Must be nice to have 8 doctors at your beckon call- I can’t even find one- much less pay for healthcare
Who knows what the result might be, right?
Because unwell old men are a great demograpHic for phase I trials...YIKES
National Propaganda Radio
Are people really shocked that the president of the United States is going to get the best healthcare available? I would have expected exactly the same for Obama
Warning: you'll be playing right into his hands when he announces that the govt has subsidized these drugs so he can generously provide them to everyone (after his family has surely bought stake in said companies)
'Truth is neither liberal nor conservative,' the New England Journal of Medicine editors said while calling for an end to the Trump administration. via HuffPostPol
INJECT HIS STEM CELLS INTO MY SPINAL FLUID!!!
What else did the President get? How much did it cost American taxpayers?
realDonaldTrump
That's serious.
I just saw a copy of Trump's Healthcare Plan for America and it's pretty good. Everyone gets to use the suite at Walter Reed and a helicopter ride to and from. All free. It doesn't stop in Low Income Neighborhoods, though. All for 750 bucks.
Of course not
I hope he helps his poor friend ChrisChristie . No updates is not good news
And why is that?
Can't be too cutting edge. No one's bleeding.
He is the president of the United States . 🙄 am This is normal for any president in office
I have white coat syndrome.
He is the President of the United States. He also has a 24 hour security detail filled with people who will protect him with their lives.
I see no problem but NPR attack narrative
Strip NPR of government funding. They have ceased being a news organization.
More whining! We the people hereby declare the President of the United States to receive special treatment whether in the hospital or at home. We the people hereby declare the media to cease whining. Serve the people by reporting truthfully and respectfully. MAGA
Whoever was the president should get VIP treatment . I am a care provider and most of the patients with covid gets antibodies, antiviral meds, dexa, and zinc with vit D, without considering the price.
mayaj1973 I wonder who the other 9 were?🤔
As president he is considered a VIP.
It's the fetal stem cells that give it that zing
BrianBeacock Because, of course! Let them eat cake!
We have to save this buffoon who won't wear mask?
Shame to waste expensive treatments on someone who is so undeserving of every breath he takes.
Liberals and democrats, don't fall for this! This was clearly faked by Donald Trump to downplay his horrific handling of the COVID-19 pandemic! He is also using this fake story to hide his horrible appearance in the debates. Stay safe and stay smart! BidenHarris2020 Biden
I didn't realize it was that scarce.
NPR represents only the left of the nations public. Liberal PROPAGANDA.
So probably kind of dangerous? Why only 10 people?
Well, he is the President.
Thank you President Trump, and keep up the great work! NPR, we know what you are.
POTUS should get VIP treatment, correct?
All paid for with MY tax dollars.
YOU DON'T SAY! Regular =/= President
Well which is it? Vaccines that get pushed through too fast are unsafe? Or ‘Why is virus denier Trump entitled to cutting edge treatment?’ I want the dude out of office ASAFP, but what news is this? Should the potus not get excellent care? So much to unravel.
He Is the president Of USA, he should have VIP treatment
That's why Republicans passed the Right To Try Act! Because govt shouldnt be able to block Americans from trying to save their own lives w experimental drugs. Dems ALL voted against it because socialist care depends on redistributing YOUR care away from you when you need it most!
That’s just not right!!
Of course he did, he's the President regardless if you accept that or not.
here's a fun game: is there a scenario in which it's totally cool for trump to get free medical treatment regular ppl can't access? if he took covid seriously? if he was a good pres? or should there not be different tiers of healthcare for the oligarchs and us peasants?
Sad because most people pay taxes
“Continually dismissed” fake news!
Trump is a monster TrumpKnowinglyExposedOthersToCovid TrumpTaxEvasion MelaniaTapes
Purely disgusting.
I wonder if the donald will be the last to get Regeneron cocktail. I think it had serious side-effects
Lol wait you guys are upset he was dumb enough to be a Guinea pig for some untested drugs?
From a company headed by someone spending millions at his NJ golf club.
THIS is what Government Healthcare looks like. A Gov't Hospital, w Gov't Doctors, paid for with Gov't Taxpayer funded Money. Must be nice not having to worry about the level of treatment because the hospital knows the bill is already covered. 😡
Lol. They are testing the Regeneron treatments on volunteers in my city. The other medicines Trump was given are common and easily found.
Where is the diversity?
And your point is?
That kind of makes him a bit of a Guinea Pig then. 🤔
HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
