Trump receiving experimental treatment

President Donald Trump’s doctor says Trump is being treated with an experimental drug aimed at supplying antibodies to help fight his coronavirus infection.

 

Antibodies are proteins the body makes when an infection occurs. They attach to a virus and help it be eliminated. But it can take weeks for them to form. The drugs are purified versions of ones that seemed to work best in lab and animal tests.

 

Trump is receiving a two-antibody combo drug that’s currently in late-stage studies from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. The company previously developed a successful treatment for Ebola using a similar approach.

 

It’s given as a one-time treatment through an IV.

 

Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said the drug was being given “as a precautionary measure,” and that Trump also was taking zinc, vitamin D, an antacid called famotidine, melatonin and aspirin. None of those have been proven to be effective against COVID-19.

It was hard to find Pepcid AC months ago because of the famotidine. 

 

Apparently, poor people in China were recovering much, much quicker than the rich folks there, and they were puzzled as to why. 

 

Then they found out the poor people were taking famotidine somehow, which made Pepcid AC and everything else with it get bought up like crazy. 

 

Some shit like that..

desperate times I guess.

 

 

 

hopefully Dr. Atlas and the my pillow guy will get to examine him and give advice too

 

 

for top donors, I think the Trump campaign should offer exclusive access to a few nanoliters of his blood after he beats this is 24-36 hours

 

he could prob cure 25% of the population using his superior antibodies by Easter of next year, with regular donations
