Trump to reveal coronavirus 'breakthrough' therapeutic, WH press secretary says
Fox News ^ | 8/23/20 | Brie Stimson

Posted on 08/23/2020 5:04:37 AM PDT by grayboots

President Trump plans to hold a news conference Sunday evening regarding a potential major therapeutic “breakthrough” for treating the coronavirus.

The president will announce the development at 6 p.m., accompanied by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Dr. Stephen Hahn, head of the Food and Drug Administration, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany posted on Twitter late Saturday.

Earlier in the day, the president suggested someone at the FDA was purposefully trying to delay clinical trials for therapeutics and vaccines for political purposes.

“Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd,” Trump tweeted, referring to Election Day. “Must focus on speed, and saving lives!” The president didn’t expand on the accusation or provide any evidence.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi quickly rebuked the president's accusation as “dangerous.”

"The FDA has a responsibility to approve drugs, judging on their safety and their efficacy, not by a declaration from the White House about speed and politicizing the FDA," Pelosi said in a news conference on Capitol Hill, according to The Hill.

Only in public statements, if we could force them to take a urine test, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were taking anti-inflammatory drugs for their own protection.

Right you are, as well as everyone in the Swamp and Deep State.

This is an eye-opener:

Which is why the drugs that do make it to market are often very expensive

Trump is great at keeping something powerful in reserve for those who attack what he says.

And/or to use at a more opportune time.

Watch how he is handling this election approach. He’s not revealing his strength. I saw it yesterday at a rally.

Notice that Fox News never reports on the president without immediately adding a longer response from Pelosi, Schumer and “democrats”.

Here you have Pelosi actually calling for a delay in cures, and they faithfully go with it as being more credible than the president.

Not do they actual investigate what the president is telling us, the Democrat knee jerk response is enough.

HCQ, Z-Pack, and zinc.

Works like a champ.

Maybe this is a longtime, easily available and non-not many side effect drug.

Like HCQ, or Ivermectin.

Let’s hope so...and, that ACTUAL, real docs - not the FRAUDci/gov’t hacks - are the ones explaining it’s proven efficacy, this time.

= = = = =

HCQ and zinc prophylactically works, as well.

Probably why most docs, especially front line, are on it.

I wouldn’t doubt if FRAUDchi and Birx are on it, too.

“Not by… politicizing the FDA”

Says the woman who, with Obama, has politicized EVERYTHING — IRS, FBI, CIA, USPS, the military, CDC, etc., etc.

"One told me that average time from beginning to being available on the market is around 7 years. Does anyone know if that’s correct?"

That is, indeed quite correct. If anything it tales longer than that. It also costs the drug company that invented it around 1 to 3 billion dollars. That's billion, with a B. It's almost all because of government regulations which require actual demonstrations through multiple actual trials that the drug is both "safe and effective". This also eats away nearly half the 20 year patent protection given to the drug. Patent law requires telling the world what it takes to produce the drug. After 20 years any one who wants can make a generic version of the drug, at minimal cost. The inventing company must make enough profit on the drug to cover the billions in cost to get the approval, along with the billions more it took to invent the drug.

Next time you want to blame someone for high drug costs, blame government regulations, not the drug company.

Time is $$$, as the old saw goes...

The FDA adds billions to the cost of drug development each year...

The drug application/approval process could be really helped by the use of AI...

Heard from an inside source: “A Snickers a Day Keeps the Virus Away”.

I’m going to try it.

Then he needs to fire their a$$es!

I’m sorry to talk ugly but enough of this crap. He’s tolerated more junk from his own cabinet than any president in recent history.

Enough is enough!

He’s been long suffering plenty. I hope to the good Lord he’ll finally clean up the executive branch in his 2nd term. Gee!

> “Trump to reveal coronavirus ‘breakthrough’ therapeutic”

For those that believe in federal bureaucrats, add this ‘therapeutic’ to the ‘anecdotal’ file because it’s a thrapeutic and not a vaccine.

And G_d forbid an existing non-vaccine cure such as HCQ + Zn.

Please sign the Zelenko petition for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA):

First hint that this new therapeutic is effective: Dims will start saying,
