the internet is bashing trump for saying that that combo is going to make all this go away and we should all look to it as the solution/cure. what doctors on twitter are saying is that it can be a very dangerous combination - i would assume if david is on it, it's because there aren't other good options. i'm really just in shock that he is in this condition. i've known him professionally - he wrote about me a couple of times, and we emailed sometimesfor various reasons - and he seems like a truly decent, good person. i hope to gd he gets better. i hope we all do. |
Not false. Trump had to TELL the FDA to allow trials for Cuomo. Cuomo himself said he asked Trump to tell the FDA to allow their trials and Trump did. Go find the video. The CDC was insisting all tests funnel through them earlier in the month. Trump followed S. Korea's testing protocol, which involved getting the private sector involved (S.Korea used private labs - 90% private as a matter of fact) |
that's in part because of huge liability risks. That needs to be taken care of here, though even with waivers, no one really knows what courts will do. |
| "“We’re going to get this supply and the trial will start this Tuesday,” Cuomo said at his daily briefing on the pandemic in Albany. “[President Donald Trump] is optimistic about these drugs and we are all optimistic that it could work. I’ve spoken with a number of health officials and there is a good basis to believe that they could work.”" |
Not exactly how the FDA/private lab issue played out but go on demonizing our government. Maybe you will get your wish and this will be the end of our horrible awful government. |
Sounds good. God Forbid your spouse gets affected and the docs turn these therapies down, because they are afraid |
FACT: If we relied on the feds for everything, we'd have nothing. |
| David is a lovely person and someone who I consider a friend, though not a close friend. I am praying for his recovery. |
So what’s your point? I have exercise induced asthma. Is my life less valuable ? You think it’s fine for people like me to die? |
That's a lovely Victory Garden you have there, Ms. Sovereign Citizen. |
I don't know him but I'll say a prayer as well. |
I’m not a friend, just a former reader of above the law, and I hope he recovers! Keep me posted if you can. |
| Wow. Used to read ATL in law school. I recall there was some elitist "partner emeritus" from Naples in their comment section who used to make me laugh out loud in the law library. |
Trump is the PRESIDENT. If he had taken the threat of pandemics seriously, he could have worked on these regulatory issues in advance. He gets zero credit. |
this is new york starting CLINICAL TRIALS of the drug combo. As in to see if the drugs are safe and effective. Nobody is "blocking treatment from critically ill patients." Drug trials are approved by the FDA in order to ensure they're done correctly. this is a good thing, not a bad thing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/03/22/new-york-to-begin-clinical-trials-for-coronavirus-treatment-tuesday-cuomo-says/#793770a84203 |
