Try out a possible cure by making us the lab rats

Ambiga_S Well respected

As long as no side effects, it's good to try out.

Ambiga_S It would be a blessing if this drug work but what is the truth is Malaysian would be the lab rat or guinea pigs. We don't know the side effects of this drug. I guess when it comes to life or death situation it is better to have hope then despair.

Under present govt I as DG in Moh inspired me a lot due to showing confidence with calm attitude Vs previous pH regrime working with. Keepitup 👍

Can the journalist please ask DG during the PC, how will Malaysia be conducting this trial if GileadSciences had announce that they stop access to the drug due to overwhelming demands. Also will it only be used for ‘compassionate use’ ? Will there also be a placebo trial ?

adibahnoor but wouldn't that makes us a lab rat? hmm anyhoot may the force be with us all. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah well done Malaysia👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
