There was already a drug available in pill form, in Japan, that likely would do the same thing.

The pill doesn’t do the “same” thing as it has a different mechanism, but that’s not the real point.

The point is, these small bio tech firms have struggled with funding and have developed these treatments on shoe-string budgets and a small trickle of military research grants.

Now these companies are being eyed by deep pocket investors AND the FDA has to fast track them because if they don’t, the “rayciss” card will be played. It’s already all over the lefty media.

So Samaritan’s Purse didn’t waste $2 million dollars bringing their sick people home for treatment. They saved their lives and brought a serious need to world wide attention and pulled off a PR coup that goosed the FDA and juiced the research dollars.

Ann Coulter completely misses this in her screed. God is an iron.
