They just addressed “Right to Try” and he congratulated the reporter for asking the question.
It’s apparently up to the patient and their doctor.
I’m not acquainted with Australian studies, but here is info used in an Eastern Virginia medical school, using Ivermectin:
Donate COVID-19 Plasma
Because you fought the infection, your plasma now contains COVID-19 antibodies. These antibodies provided one way for your immune system to fight the virus when you were sick, so your plasma may be able to be used to help others fight off the disease.

What is Convalescent Plasma?
Convalescent refers to anyone recovering from a disease. Plasma is the yellow, liquid part of blood that contains antibodies. Antibodies are proteins made by the body in response to infections. Convalescent plasma from patients who have already recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may contain antibodies against COVID-19. Giving this convalescent plasma to hospitalized people currently fighting COVID-19 may help them recover. FDA has issued an emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma to be used in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and is being investigated for the treatment of COVID-19 because there is no approved treatment for this disease. Based on scientific evidence available, the FDA concluded this product may be effective in treating COVID-19 and that the known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
I Have Fully Recovered From COVID-19. Am I Eligible to Donate Plasma?
Donate Blood and Plasma to Make a Difference
People who have fully recovered from COVID-19 for at least two weeks are encouraged to consider donating plasma, which may help save the lives of other patients. COVID-19 convalescent plasma must only be collected from recovered individuals if they are eligible to donate blood. Individuals must have had a prior diagnosis of COVID-19 documented by a laboratory test and meet other donor qualifications. Individuals must have complete resolution of symptoms for at least 14 days prior to donation. A negative lab test for active COVID-19 disease is not necessary to qualify for donation.

How often can I donate plasma?
January 29, 2020
To ensure your continued health and safety during plasma donation, there are limits to how frequently you are able to donate.
You may donate twice in a seven-day period and need at least one day in between donations. Your body quickly replaces the lost plasma, which is why youre able to donate fairly frequently! As a reminder, during plasma donations, we only take your plasma. Your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are all returned back to your body. In whole blood donations, ALL of these blood components are taken and donated - plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets. That is why with whole blood donations, you must wait longer between donations.
Bingo!
Here is a response re. plasma from TFT. Sounds very encouraging.
A close friend of mine worked in the Covid unit of a local hospital from the beginning of the pandemic. She told me a couple of months ago that convalescent plasma stops it in its tracks. She said that HCQ is good (they used it until the plasma became available) but plasma is better. by pax_et_bonum on TFT

That PSA or whatever it’s called is complete and udder bovine excrement. I’m goin’ over the edge: Bull f*ckin sh*t.
Thanks for the ping and for the link.
Thanks for the info. I don’t guess there’s much more POTUS can do to counter the state restrictions other than informing the public about HCQ’s effectiveness and hoping that locals put pressure on their state governments. I assume/hope the FDA is conducting studies on its effectiveness as a COVID treatment. Hopefully results will be forthcoming.
Would like to have some on hand so Wife or I could start taking immediately if we have symptoms.
Where I live it takes 5-7 days to get the results after testing.
HCQ + Zpac + Zinc is most effective if taken as soon as symptoms occur!
Just saw this, anyone tried it or know if it is legit?
Looks like it. You can get all kinds of prescription meds on line, hopefully it is legit, cause they is that too. I have gotten other prescription meds on line.
“For prophylactic use” bears repeating. The reason HCQ has been taken for years by people planning to travel to areas with malaria is to help keep them from getting sick. It is not a miracle drug like many seem to wish it was. It can have benefit to some who have the virus but is is most effective as a prophylactic and when the dust settles we’re going to learn that many medical professionals have been taking it despite other precautions to lessen their odds of getting the virus from patients they come in contact with.
HCQ works by increasing the pH of the cellular membrane which makes it more difficult for the virus to take over the cell and reproduce. That’s the only means by which a virus can reproduce, so if you padlock the cell, so to speak, you stop the viral infection. It has other benefits but as a treatment the data is not lying, it does not reverse the course of the disease in people who already have severe cases, which only makes sense when you understand how it works.
It is unfortunate that democraps turned it into a political issue but anyone who wants or needs HCQ can get it. There is alot of BS surrounding this issued, on all sides.
And that’s just one small area. Where else is this fascism going on? Aside from online lessons about BLM and Antifa and how to be a twerking transperv in first grade.
Unclear if medicare will pay for some of this?
Some good information from “ gas_dr “, a front line doctor that I know. He has dealt with this on the front line to speak. Look him up.
Today’s thread about the presser today. Check out his posts.
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3877061/posts?q=1&;page=1
Normally big pharma would push its prescription only product, one that shows safety and efficacy and a wide therapeutic window, to move the product to OTC. HCQ is, for the most part, a generic. So my guess is big pharma may not be pushing this conversion to OTC.
However, under emergency circumstances, would the FDA do so on its own initiative?
Also, would OTC exclusivity be something that big pharma (Sanofi, maker of Plaquenil brand HCQ) push if they had the data and a good societal need case. Surely they are crunching or have crunched the numbers on this approach.
re zelenko protocol
There are probably sites on the ‘net that will do this. Not sure of the safety/source of the product. But I’m sure it’s out there. For a price.
Did your friend say anything about IVIG? Was it tried and useful?
Yes, after wading thru dp’s emissions I found where he agrees it’s effective as a prophylactic. He also mentions the antibiotic and zinc, which I’ve read contradictory things about so will stay in my lane. Evidently either the side-effects (which are not unlike other drugs) or the politicization of HCQ is why it’s not available OTC in the US as it is in India. It’s certainly not because of a potential shortage; two Indian manufacturers have the capacity to produce 1.5 million tablets per day.
He is probably talking about 8kun with all it’s anti semite stuff and other objectionable posts that we know are shillish.
The article is quite clear he is talking about QAnon. And everything he is projecting at QAnon Christians is exactly what he himself is doing. Slander etc. Obviously he did zero research and just wrote what CNN told him.
