The Food and Drug Administration will issue an emergency authorization for blood plasma as a coronavirus treatment, President Donald Trump is set to announce Sunday evening, according to three administration officials.
Trump will announce the emergency authorization alongside his health secretary, Alex Azar, and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, in a press conference one day before the start of the Republican National Convention. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the announcement would involve a "major therapeutic breakthrough," but experts have said the treatment is unlikely to be a game-changer in the fight against a pathogen that's killed more than 170,000 in the United States.
"I think some people wanted to see more rigorous data to ground that decision," Gottlieb said on CBS's "Face the Nation." A study by researchers at Houston Methodist hospitals reached similar conclusions. The 136 patients who received plasma were more likely to have survived a month post-diagnosis compared to 251 patients who did not get the treatment. The effect was strongest in people who were given plasma within three days of hospital admission. But the study,in the American Journal of Pathology, was not randomized or controlled.
Despite the lack of definitive evidence that the treatment is effective, Trump and members of his coronavirus task force launched a campaign in JulyHHS had spent almost $200 million as of July 9
You complain saying he isn’t doing anything so he ok something and you still complain people can make up their own mind don’t need you to hold their hand
No one is shocked or amazed when MurdererInChief politicized COVID19 “treatment” again denying that ScienceMatters & acting as if he knows more about this virus than the experts like Fauci This treatment is still under trial. He’s putting American lives at risk

'The relationships between reduced mortality and both earlier time to transfusion and higher antibody levels provide signatures of efficacy for convalescent plasma in the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.'
Some brainwashed people watching MSM all day, would rather die or have others die then any progress to potentially give Trump any credit for anything. It’s JUST A TREATMENT! 😂
Quackery quack quack.
Which of his friends, and or children, owns a blood plasma business?
So nothing really that new! Same old, same old.
This is the most blatant POTUS political posturing imaginable! Unproven, unsafe!
The FDA should not be strong armed by the Donald
Is it going to be free? Or will I get some huge-ass medical bill for this untested treatment ?
Trump puts the pressure on the FDA and poof, plasma treatment gets green light!
Neoavatara So it's about like masks then. There isn't really any evidence they prevent spread but everyone jumped on the bandwagon anyway. They'll go the opposite way this time because Trump suggested it
Once again Trump is trying to push something onto the public without any regard to Americans lives. He will risk American lives to win the election and if he has to push out this plasma, or an unapproved vaccine, he will do it. Just vote before you get sick.
“And it has not yet been proven to work against the coronavirus.”
This is not a new treatment, or a game-changer. It hasn't been proven effective as a treatment yet despite studies here and abroad. It's Trump standing at a podium and hollering, 'I know science better than anybody. Better than Sleepy Joe, so vote for me.'
It's a miracle ... Finally lol
How is this breaking news ? This has already been in use in hospitals. This administration needs to be pushed in the failure of a national plan to combat the pandemic.
So FDA is going to make it and Trump already taking credit for doing it
SheriHerman10 Hahah
Neoavatara $DFFN
Neoavatara Been used for months all over the world. Lefties = Trump is trying to kill us ALLLL!!!!!
What scientists? Democrat or Republican ones? lol
Here you go.
I hope doctors have the good sense not to order unproven treatments for their patients.
I thought Trump said COVID19 would miraculously disappear
Here we go again. Still being tested but what the hell let's push it through.
this is currently being used throughout the world.
Not new
Actually, just reversing the HOLD the FDA placed on the existing EUA that was in place due to contradictory evidence that it was helpful. Trump whined like the ratchet baby he is, and now, the FDA is playing political games at the demands of their master.
This is what making believe you are closing the barn door after the horses got out looks like.
It has already been an experimental treatment.
So don’t you think it would also be a good idea to remind people that they should be donating their plasma if they are physically capable of doing so at this time, because remember there are numerous Illnesses that require this product
This is not news. Plasma has already been used as a treatment for COVID. Pure theatrics!
The traitor did the same emergency authorization with hydrochloriquine and then the FDA revoked it because it was CRAP...
The United States is one of a handful of nations around the world where companies can legally pay humans for their blood and then sell it for a profit. Will Trump impact private plasma companies, like Cerberus and Ambrosia, through this emergency order?
Sounds like the FDA doesn't care about the science. The same thing happened during the Bush2 administration. There were a lot of drugs approved during Bush2's reign but eventually recalled because they killed people. Seems the FDA isn't doing their job again.
Trump’s new COVID treatment: Step 1: Sprinkle some Oleandrin on a MyPillow. Step 2: Place pillow over face. Step 3: Scream “MAGA!” until lifeless.
_B_I_O_T_E_C_H_ Wait, which Big Pharma co. is that? How are we gonna Pump-n-Dump blood Plasma? I thought realDonaldTrump was gonna give the Economy another P&D tip like: $KODK ?
So the FDA caved to political pressure from Trump. How can we trust anything they do now?
I wonder if the 'deep state' name-calling & unsubstantiated claim of delays hurting his re-election bid have anything to do with the sudden announcement.
What's new about this? Really? This has been happening since May or earlier. Next you'll claim the transfusion process was created in 2020 too. Does Donald Trump own ? You are part of the mis/disinformation issues with media . This post should be flagged.
I wouldnt trust ANYTHING coming out of this FDA or CDC! They've all been taken over by trumpeters and are no longer reliable sources of information!
Trump will do ANYTHING for more publicity.
Oh no. “Over scientists objections”?
This is a treatment for those who already have vivid, not a vaccine to prevent you from getting it.
WHAT ? WHAT ABOUT THE Hemophilia Cases THEY NEED THE FACTOR TO STOP BLEEDING TO DEATH !!! TELL ME IT WON'T AFFECT THEIR TREATMENTS !!!
King David Healing Holy Oil, A miracle healing balm for all disease and illness Dm if interested
Let's see how long it takes the Dumbcraps to say this is a hoax or untested at the very least Trump is trying to stop this virus unlike the Dumbcraps who only know how to criticize and condemn ANY attempt at stopping the virus
Desperation. Trying to take credit for other people’s achievements. He doesn’t actually care if it works he just wants to take all the praise. Malignant narcissist.
HCQ is better. FDA knows this. I can’t wait until they have to pay..
This is no where near a “Game Changer or Breakthrough” the preliminary results are inconclusive... This is Trump pressuring Dr Hahn at the FDA ... AGAIN!! Just a bunch of political hacks... how embarrassing for our FDA and the research community in general ...
The world need Jesus Christ as the solution
Except that something like 70,000 people have received this treatment.
Well they have also agreed to go with the Russian Covid vaccine.. which I have tried and so far I have no side efectoski secundarioski Президент Российской Федерации; Президент россии MAGA2020
Trump and this admin have lied so much, I wouldn't feel safe taking anything they recommend
Disinfectant plasma
This has been happening since March
This isn't new at all
In the eve of the RNC, not suspicious at all 😒
More proof the Trump is a StableGenius He oversaw the build up of the supply for plasma in COVIDー19 so the USA leads the world in this breakthrough treatment And many of us thought Trump did a horrible job controlling the ChinaVirus COVIDIOTS SundayMotivation Resist
CHLORINE DIOXIDE (DIÓXIDO DE CLORO) is curing people around the world (Latin America especially) while in the USA, they use Ventilators and wrong WHO protocols to KILL people.
No doubt this is the 'big surprise' to be unveiled later. realDonaldTrump must have persuaded the 'Deep State FDA' to push this through in return for the appropriate slow-down for vaccine testing.
Thought this was already being done
Will republicans push through a tax on plasma? Or perhaps pass regulations that it only be available for “very,very good people “.
This is almost the main treatment already being used. Not new. Not breaking. Just a standard medical treatment used with nasty viruses. Heck, they used this with Ebola here in the US back in Obama days!
Boycott blood donation.
charlesadler He just intimidates everyone to the detriment of common sense and safety of people. It’s very discouraging not just for now but for America in the future. We’ve learned how possible authoritarianism is there.
I hoe to got you do not rush a COVID19 vaccine because President T Bully told you to!
This is a valid treatment. Thanks Politico for revealing Trump's breaking announcement.
Wait? What! There are no scientists or health professionals at FDA!!
Another scam. Shame on them. Vote him and his enablers out in November.
MakeHCQoverthecounter
Then we need people with the antibody which means we need more cases. 1+1=2
