Could you imagine living in a country where an unqualified man with no medical or scientific background and is widely regarded as insane, makes medical policy for the nation? Why doesn't he just shut up and leave it to the scientists?

Think a couple of leaders of other countries can fit the description as well.  Well maybe not the insane part.

That's why they become politicians,. Because they are not qualified to do anything by strut, jabber away and make bad decisions. And not drain the swamp. LOL

Trump got what he want by asserting pressure and FDA buckled. No longer a deep state in just 1 day. FDA under Section 564 now allow unapproved medical products to be used and possible risk to patients due to inadequate testing and studies

Yes much better to let the patients die from Covid than use a procedure not tested.

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn acknowledged in a tweet posted late Monday that his comment that a study had shown plasma achieving a 35% improvement in survival was inaccurate. Hahn made the comment, accompanied by President Donald Trump, while announcing an emergency-use authorization for convalescent plasma.

 

“I have been criticized for remarks I made Sunday night about the benefits of convalescent plasma. The criticism is entirely justified,” Hahn wrote. “What I should have said better is that the data show a relative risk reduction not an absolute risk reduction.”
