At this point, I’m just so glad Dr. Fauci isn’t involved in the president’s recovery in any way.

Amen

praying that his doctors are patriots

I remember the miserable day when President Reagan was shot in March of 1981.

In the ER, President Reagan asked one of the doctors,
“I hope you’re a Republican.”

The doctor replied, “Mr. President, today we are all Republicans.”

The title is misleading, implying Trump is unable to mount an effective immune response. But they’re using it on him because of it’s potential to boost immunity. Famotidine is an anti-heartburn med that has been shown to boost immunity. I’ve taken it for years when I first I get a cold (best done at onset). OTC it is labeled as Cimetidine. Tagamet is another.

Anyhow, reading the quoted part below is encouraging. That’s why I think Trump will be OK within a week (not 100% better, but will dodge a bullet).

——President Trump’s White House physician, Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley, reports that Trump is being treated with a Regeneron monoclonal antibody cocktail and has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.

Just this Tuesday, George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stated about the still in test phase new monoclonal antibody cocktail:

“After months of incredibly hard work by our talented team, we are extremely gratified to see that Regeneron’s antibody cocktail REGN-COV2 rapidly reduced viral load and associated symptoms in infected COVID-19 patients. The greatest treatment benefit was in patients who had not mounted their own effective immune response, suggesting that REGN-COV2 could provide a therapeutic substitute for the naturally-occurring immune response. These patients were less likely to clear the virus on their own, and were at greater risk for prolonged symptoms. We are highly encouraged by the robust and consistent nature of these initial data, as well as the emerging well-tolerated safety profile, and we have begun discussing our findings with regulatory authorities while continuing our ongoing trials.”

There were 275 individuals enrolled in the test and no unexpected safety findings have been reported by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee.

I wish he had just taken HCQ and zinc again. I do not trust these Big Pharma goons. Remember Trump has slammed them in speech after speech.

Weird picture. I could interpret it either as 1) A large furry biped like Saquatch, or 2) A big eagle or condor swooping down from right to left with its wings spread.

“CNN now blathering on and on how Trump’s infection is his fault. I didn’t realize that COVID infections are the fault of patients until now.”

But HIV infections are NEVER the fault of the infected.

Unfortunately, the organizations they belong to are leftist. And always remember the government controls the questions asked and the treatment given. Yes, even if you are insured through work or self pay.
There are protocols set up for providers so they can push the easy button and order most of your treatments based on the initial assessment. The overwhelming majority of patients are medicare medicaid. So those questions and treatments are driven by their mandates.
Almost all staff are forced into mandatory flu vax because Obama attached compliance to the string of medicare reimbursement.
If you, like our family has experienced a life threatening bad decision from more than one doctor, now you know.
Our universities are rolling out compliant academics who need an easy button and algorithms.
/rant. After decades working in healthcare, i miss the God gifted doctors who provide life savibg care.
Our care facilities have turned in to manufacturing plants. Okay /rant off for real.

“Why is Trump not taking Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)?”

Perhaps he is taking it.

Just like AIDS wasn't the fault of fags' lifestyle.

Somehow, T believed that some time ago the president told us he was already taking HCQ and there was a n uproar then.

“Maybe because better drugs have been invented since then.”

But none as well researched and proven by multiple doctors and thousands and thousands of cases to be effective.
