Plasma might work if it contains antibodies.

Trump did drop the ball on corona. Time to retire and go play golf permanently, old man.

Is this a monoclonal antibody. I'm guessing so since they refer to the antibody and not antibodies. Fauci did say that he expected them to be available come September and that they should be very effective.

I guess he could tell his fans to eat $h@% and they would eat it.

I hope one day someone will try to analyze the brains of these people - if they can actually find any brains.

I think this time he is right. He should have left it with the FDA though.

The nonsense this man comes out with. His narcissism was bad enough, but now paranoia is setting in as well. 

 

Bad enough as it is, but coupled with a national crisis it's probably one of the worst combos as far as leadership style goes.

The controversy over this particular potential treatment appears to have gone public with a NY Times report earlier this week that quoted concerns raised by prominent Drs. Fauci and Collins that the evidence of its effectiveness was too weak and uncertain.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/19/us/politics/blood-plasma-covid-19.html

 

Quote

 

WASHINGTON — Last week, just as the Food and Drug Administration was preparing to issue an emergency authorization for blood plasma as a Covid-19 treatment, a group of top federal health officials including Dr. Francis S. Collins and Dr. Anthony S. Fauci intervened, arguing that emerging data on the treatment was too weak, according to two senior administration officials.

 

The authorization is on hold for now as more data is reviewed, according to H. Clifford Lane, the clinical director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. An emergency approval could still be issued in the near future, he said.

 

Donated by people who have survived the disease, antibody-rich plasma is considered safe. President Trump has hailed it as a “beautiful ingredient” in the veins of people who have survived Covid-19. But clinical trials have not proved whether plasma can help people fighting the coronavirus.

 

 

When you've got this kind of stuff going on with a prospective medical treatment, (Trump once again pushing/touting as yet unproven cures/treatments), what do you think is going to happen inside the federal government when CV vaccine candidates get closer to potential approval?

 

"Ohh, it's a GREAT vaccine... I've heard GREAT things about it from many (unknown, unverified) people who've tested it... And they feel GREAT, or at least, that's what I've been told by people whom I either can't remember or can't say."

I guess it's some kind of progress that he's talking about something that actually might help.

He also talked about injecting disinfectant and inserting fluorescent light internally, the man is a fool, would you shove a fluorescent light up your blurter??? The clown should stick with dodgy property development and golf courses, the job he's got is out of his league! He is making America and Americans look stupid! I know they are not all stupid and I sincerely the smart ones get out to vote in numbers to remove this fool before he does another 4 years of damage!

This is the same guy who bragged about passing a dementia test, and said it was hard.  At least he claims he passed.  We don't know that for sure.

This therapy does sound promising but there is zero evidence that it is being held back for political reasons to hurt dear leader.

Maybe true, but I've gone with the bleach treatment he recommended and was then castigated for. It's readily available in many different scents and cheap. 

I drink a glass every morning and my Thai Lady is clamoring to use it herself since she has noticed my skin tone getting lighter. She may be on to something there. 

 

I've had some pretty bad diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, blood in my stool, loose teeth, and trouble breathing but I'm pretty sure it's the beer chaser I drink after the bleach. I'm cutting that out to see what happens. 

But proof is proof. I have not contracted the virus.

Would you care to correct that? The FDA has agreed.

So you're claiming that what Matzzon said was false? Had the FDA approved of it when Matzzon made his post? Had Matzzon claimed at the time that the FDA had approved it, would it have been true?

[thaibeachlovers]

Lot of egg on faces now, though I do not expect any retractions.

You mean like in the case of the FDA approval of hydroxychlorquine that has since been retracted? Who has got egg on their faces now?

And had I claimed back then that it's false that the FDA had approved said drug for use, would that have been correct?
