FDA commissioner says he overstated effects of convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19

Scientists and medical experts have been pushing back against the claims about the treatment since President Donald Trump's announcement on Sunday that the FDA had decided to issue emergency authorization for convalescent plasma, taken from patients who have recovered from the coronavirus and rich in antibodies.

"I have been criticized for remarks I made Sunday night about the benefits of convalescent plasma. The criticism is entirely justified. What I should have said better is that the data show a relative risk reduction not an absolute risk reduction," Hahn tweeted. Hahn has been working to bolster confidence in the agency's scientific process, stating in interviews and articles that the FDA will not approve any vaccine that doesn't meet preset standards for safety and efficacy.

The administration has sunk vast resources into the race for a vaccine, and Trump aides have been hoping that swift progress could help the president ahead of November's election. "I think the constant pressure, the name-calling, the perception that decisions are made under pressure is damaging," said Dr. Jesse Goodman of Georgetown University, who previously served as FDA's chief scientist. "We need the American people to have full confidence that medicines and vaccines are safe,"

So glad I cancelled cable 5 years ago. You call that news CTV? It’s , at best, misinformation. Staying polite here...

Obviously you are working for big pharma . If this was a chemical cure to cancer. We would rejoice. A cure for covid is totally unacceptable if big pharma doesn’t make $. Hqc is cheap and blood even cheaper !

I think the WH pressured the FDA into that.

'sorry for that thing I said that might not have hurt the President'

Nov 4 virus will disappear US Post Office & Russia Russia Russia headlines

That's right. We can't have good news about COVID. Especially if it relates to President Trump in any way.

More medical censorship eh

Why don't you people quit talking out of your asses for once

Overstated? That’s, plain and simple, LIES.

Wow, what a surprise.

O.K. Thank you media gods

Trump to announce plasma treatment authorized for COVID-19After expressing frustration at the slow pace of approval for coronavirus treatments, U.S. President Donald Trump was set to announce on Sunday the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma for COVID-19 patients. Well if he is pushing for it , lets condemn it, science be damned ! Trump is rough around the edges but gets things done. Keeps his promises. Trudeau is so profoundly politically correct that he squeaks when he walks, he's broke every promise he ever made except legalizing pot, he gets nothing done and he's been busy helping himself to our money The truth is the FDA withdrew approval because it isnt working, trump called them the deep state and now is flogging the treatment. Because he needs something to get votes even if it doesnt work.

Canada adds 563 new coronavirus cases, surpassing 125,000So far, 111,694 people have recovered from the virus, while more than six million tests for the virus have been administered. Not much of anything regarding 'Canada's response' is reported in embensad's article. A good reporter would find out information that is being withheld from us, for example the ages of those who have died (and not lumped into broad age groups either).
