U.S. FDA announces emergency authorization for convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the 2020 Council for National Policy Meeting, Friday, Aug. 21, 2020, in Arlington, Va. President Donald Trump announced Sunday the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma for COVID-19 patients, in a move he called "a breakthrough," one of his top health officials called "promising," and other health experts said needs more study before it's celebrated.

The White House had grown agitated with the pace of the plasma approval, but the accusations of a slowdown, which were presented without evidence, were just the latest assault from Trump's team on the "deep state" bureaucracy. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows did not deal in specifics, but said that "we've looked at a number of people that are not being as diligent as they should be in terms of getting to the bottom of it.

Earlier this month, Mayo Clinic researchers reported a strong hint that blood plasma from COVID-19 survivors helps other infected patients recover. But it wasn't considered proof. There's been little data on how effective it is or whether it must be administered fairly early in an illness to make a significant difference, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases expert at Vanderbilt University.

Hundreds of drugs are currently being developed as possible treatments against the coronavirus infection, taking a range of approaches.

Appropriate. Leeches.

“convalescent plasma” eh ? That comes from peoples arms ! Not the drugs being tested for a vaccination ! And massed produced !! Eh ?!

Let’s hope it helps. Of course Trump will say that he was responsible for its discovery, and it’s a huge breakthrough, before its effect is proven. Whether it’s effective or not doesn’t really matter to him, as long as he can get some support from the voters.

WHAT? The FDA is on a PERMANANT VACAY... So, whomever may be IMPERSONATING the FDA? We. See. You! fakenews 🎩

Wow. Groundbreaking hundred year old breakthrough 🥱

3 months ago, Trump said it was an option, 🇺🇲 MSM went crazy trying to say Trump was crazy. Well, look who is right AGAIN !
