So why do DJT’s doctors tell the world what medicines they are giving him? It seems it just leads to a lot of (often incorrect) speculation about his condition, as well as second-guessing.

The statement is incorrect and misleading.

We will not know Trump’s actual viral load and immune response until he has been tested.

Regeneron is used for people who (1) have mounted effective immune responses and (2) those that are not effective “yet”. So in the second category it’s given to help the system while building an effective immune response.

“The treatment is for two groups as described here:

As hypothesized, patients in the study consisted of two different populations: those who had already mounted an effective immune response, and those whose immune response was not yet adequate. These populations could be identified serologically by the presence (seropositive) or absence (seronegative) of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and/or by high viral loads at baseline.”

Various responses from Drs about this..some skeptical

https://texags.com/forums/84/topics/3142469

such as this

“I agree I am surprised Leronlimab was not used instead of REGN-COV2. Knowing that Covid-19 is a probable RANTES disease and Leronlimab disrupts the RANTES pathway in addition to decreasing the viral load like REGN-COV2.”

Damn right it’s his fault! Just like HIV was Reagan’s fault –and had absolutely nothing to do with bad transfusions or deliberate behaviors…

Nah. They are using it because he’s over 70

It’s a shot in the dark. Maybe it helps. Maybe it will reduce of prevent viral load

They are being cautious

Precisely

He’s over 70. Even at that there is a greater than 94% recovery rate

Fauci sponsored the gain-of-function experiment at the Wuhan lab that resulted in the pandemic. <<

and got paid for it too......

I believe Jefferson spoke of a loss-of-function experiment that should be done from time to time with a rope and the tree of liberty...

An average person isnt going to take this drug right now unless they are having serious problems with Covid or are being paid to take it.

But the leader of the Free World might

That's what I'm thinking. They're doing it to prevent a large viral load. Anyone else, they'd just see how they're coming along but President - totally different.

Are you sure you’re interpreting that as the right Thursday?
