No, I was talking about treatments, not the vaccine (if any).
Trump used a treatment that the FDA could approve generally but refuses to do so for the usual phony reasons (not tested enough, not proven, etc.). His access to it came through his physician, and because it is not FDA approved, it had to be provided through the “Right To Try” process, which gives patients the right to try an unapproved therapy. I think he had to sign a waiver to try it, or some such thing.
The thing that really impresses me is how the government authorities not only fail to look for treatments but actively block access to them. Remember when the governor of New Mexico (I think it was) actually prohibited doctors from prescribing HCQ in the state? I believe a lawsuit was filed and she had to reverse her order, but that she did it in the first place is pretty stunning.
They want people to continue to be terrified, to think that this is somehow the one disease in the world for which there is no treatment or cure, and that it’s a death sentence with no hope. They have found that stoking fear is the best way ever for controlling an entire population.
They’re mad at Trump for telling people to quit being afraid.
I agree with you totally on that, but of course the article for this thread is about vaccines, which have been treated in the opposite fashion, unfortunately.
