The FDA Authorized The Use Of Convalescent Plasma To Treat COVID-19

study of more than 35,000 patients led by the Mayo Clinic found that providing COVID-19 patients with infusions of plasma early on in their illness showed a small benefit in reducing the number of deaths in patients with severe illnesses. While 8.7% of patients who received plasma within three days of getting sick, those who got plasma infusions afterwards died at a rate of 11.9%.

in randomized controlled trials, since they could end up getting a placebo, and that the EUA will likely make that even harder. Emergency use authorizations do not require the same amount of evidence as a full drug approval, but will make it easier for hospitals to move ahead with doing the infusions.

Wait. I was told many times hydroxychloroquine was a cure. So it wasn’t a cure?

Bullied the FDA for another stunt from a vicious narcissist who only cares about his reelection. If people die, he doesn't care.

You’re making this political again. This gives doctors wider access of treatments for patients w/in the law. “Emergency use authorizations do not require the same amount of evidence as a full drug approval, but will make it easier for hospitals to move ahead w/ doing infusions.”

It works , but not enough researched for effectiveness. Trump cannot claim this is his breakthrough. Period. I gave plasma. It is a long slow process and takes recovered covid persons to step up and give. Not enough of us , I’m afraid

“Without evidence” should be realDonaldTrump’s motto. Everything he says and promotes, is “without evidence” TrumpIsACompleteFailure

There you have it. No matter how good, if Trump is for it, media is vehemently against it.

No respect for life

The physicians at the US_FDA should all resign. This is an awful precedent...

Smells like political pressure.

🤦🏽

Without evidence? They saved 35/100 people using it. How is that not evidence? Where is the evidence that masks stop covid?
