To test its effectiveness, only some participants in experimental trials will be given the drug. It is not known whether Allard, who is an equity analyst for Bank of America in Manhattan, received it or not.

I'd bet he was given the drug Remdesivir. Hard to believe they're using placebo groups to test the effectiveness against Covid-19.

I was following his story. Jack was airlifted to UPenn for the remdesivir trial because he was so critically ill and it was a ‘right to try’ situation. I agree that they wouldn’t have given him a placebo. It would have been a death sentence for him and he wouldn’t be walking out of that hospital to prolonged applause.
