monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

How much credence and prescience are you giving Navarro? Asking for a friend...

“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.”

I've heard far more of his documented 13000 plus lies, mistruths, exaggerations, bogus statistics, and outright fabrications

Some of the drugs only available on named patient basis or not properly tested yet

None of the treatments the four US “genius” drug companies that Donald Trump claims could help Boris Johnson recover from Covid-19 are clinically tested for coronavirus or available on the market, it has emerged.

Trump said he had spoken to four companies working with the US government on Monday and had asked two of them to “contact London immediately” about assisting with the prime minister’s treatment.

Downing Street has indicated it does not wish to take up Trump’s offer of experimental drugs.

Nonetheless, one of the companies, Gilead, which made the drug Remdesivir that was used in trials for Ebola treatment, confirmed that the president had spoken to its chief executive. But it said its therapeutic drug had not yet been clinically tested, a process that was under way.

“He did call our our CEO in the day yesterday but we cannot go beyond that,” said a spokeswoman.

Trump implied that drugs that could help the prime minister were on their way to St Thomas’ hospital in London where Johnson remains in intensive care.

“I’ve talked to four of them today and they speak a language that most people do not understand but I understand something … they’ve really advanced therapeutics and therapeutically and they’ve arrived in London already, their London office has whatever they need and we will see if we can be of help.

“We’ve contacted all of Boris’s doctors and we’ll see what is going to take place but they are ready to go,” he said.

But on Tuesday a spokeswoman at Gilead’s London’s headquarters said its drug, Remdesivir, had not been tested yet and would only be available if a patient’s doctor specifically requested it.

It was developed more than 10 years ago after a decade of research around hepatitis C and respiratory syncytial virus.

Research scientists have explored the compound for multiple potential uses to help address urgent and unmet medical needs around the world, including Ebola, Sars, Marburg, Mers and most recently Covid-19.

Laboratory trials for its use as a treatment for Sars were successful in 2014 but as the virus burned itself out clinical trials could not take place.

“It is critical we do these clinical trials [for Covid-19] and show its efficacy. It would be irresponsible to make it widely available,” the company said.

It has made it available to 1,700 on a “compassionate” basis but only when a physician requests it for a named patient.

The company said yesterday it planned to donate 1.5m doses of Remdesivir to ongoing clinical trials with hopes that it can produce enough for a million treatment courses by the end of the year.

The White House confirmed the president had spoken to three other companies yesterday Genentech, Amgen and Regeneron but none of their products are available even on a compassionate basis.

Last week the Californian biotech company Amgen announced it was teaming up with the Seattle-based Adaptive Biotechnologies to try to identify virus-neutralising antibodies which would help them engineer a treatment – but this investigation is only at the starting blocks. DeCode Genetics, an Iceland-based subsidiary of Amgen, will provide genetic insights from patients who have recovered from Covid-19.

Genentech, a subsidiary of the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche which is credited with the success of testing in Germany, is in advanced stages of investigation into an arthritis drug Actemra as a treatment for coronavirus.

The first patients enrolled in a phase three trial in France and Spain. Participants have to have severe cases of Covid-19 marked by pneumonia and require hospitalisation. Initial results are expected in the summer, according to Reuters.

The company has teamed up with Sanofi in France to expand a trial of its rheumatoid arthritis drug Kevzara to patients outside the US where trials have just started. It is now enrolling patients in Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Canada, and Russia. The US trials began last week.

Trump’s claims that an antimalarial drug could be used to treat coronavirus have previously been discounted.

They've only been discounted by the liberal media and TDS.

Well, it certainly might be that the UK's MHRA (Medicines And Health Products Regulatory Agency) is wrong.

You’ve been told how the studies are flawed and of the deaths caused by ingesting this substance,

And the people it’s killed.

You grumpiest really are bloody stupid.

You’ve been told how the studies are flawed and of the deaths caused by ingesting this substance, but you’re so desperate to lick Trump’s shitty ringpiece that you refuse to see the truth.

You grumpiest really are bloody stupid.

Epidemiologist: Coronavirus could be ‘exterminated’ if lockdowns were lifted

Going outdoors is what stops every respiratory disease’

A veteran scholar of epidemiology has warned that the ongoing lockdowns throughout the United States and the rest of the world are almost certainly just prolonging the coronavirus outbreak rather than doing anything to truly mitigate it.

“[W]hat people are trying to do is flatten the curve. I don’t really know why. But, what happens is if you flatten the curve, you also prolong, to widen it, and it takes more time. And I don’t see a good reason for a respiratory disease to stay in the population longer than necessary,” he said.

“With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children.
Asked about Anthony Fauci, the White House medical expert who for weeks has been predicting significant numbers of COVID-19 deaths in America as well as major ongoing disruptions to daily life possibly for years, Wittkowski replied: “Well, I’m not paid by the government, so I’m entitled to actually do science.”

Indoctrination.
