    That's good that he believes it saved him, but it is not proof that the drug works.
    It is wholly irresponsible for Trump to tout an unproven drug. The doctors do not need Trump to provide an education and they also do not need patients coming to them to demand an unproven drug.

    Let people die while they take years to do trials or leave it up to dr. and patient to take it. It's saving lives. It's not just huge coincidences that these people recover from the brink of death, so yes, that's enough proof that it's working.

    I can't believe this even needs to be debated. Wait, yes I can.

    Dr. Fauci got up and immediately said those reports are based on anecdotal evidence and that patients should not be clamoring for the drugs unless it is, at a minimum, in the context of joining a drug trial so that the larger community can learn something more than anecdotal evidence.

    I had read that that was one of the reasons that China and South Korea had so little deaths as they were giving it but last night I heard that Chinese scientists said it did not save lives.

    Everyone in ICU is on the "brink of death" and many have recovered without that drug. There is no evidence that the drug saved his life

    The Gov could be exposing the voters in NV to a wave of wrongful death suits.

    Yes, actually there is. Sorry

    Wth people, this is a global pandemic, I would think even dems would be glad to hear about positive news regarding a medication that may fight coronavirus, but you're so hung up on the fact that Trump is the one who is talking about it that you refuse to accept it. Unbelievable

    Yes he did, because he has to since there is red tape that must be followed, but he did say he agreed that it's showing promising results. It's just not yet fda approved for use on coronavirus so Fauci has to make that clear.

    He went from "couldn't breathe" to normal in hours. Probably just luck, huh?

    You may call it "Red tape," but it is, in actuality, just "medical ethics."

    Call it what you want, if it may save someone from dying, use it.

    What a load of crap. My partner is a nurse in an ICU ward nursing victims and I'm worried sick about her. I don't give a toss about who would get credit if an antiviral is proven to work. The way you talk, you'd think that Trump discovered the drug! News for you, it was tried in France well before Trump talked about it.

    People who are close to dying from the virus have had their lung cells destroyed by the virus leading to blood leaks into their lungs. They don't go from "couldn't breathe" to normal in hours! You're delusional

    No, that's how the dems are referring to it. Get over it! If it might save people, use it.

    Some of you are really proving my point. It makes you very uncomfortable to talk about a medicine that is showing great results.

    Most of the South appears to be exploding now, from Los Angeles to Florida. The Mayor of Los Angeles just announced that people need to prepare to stay in their home until May. Michigan is entering crisis mode along with Louisiana.

    Educate yourself on this medication and the tests that doctors have done so far. If you choose not to, that's your choice.

    From Herewegoagain post above, 112,000 have recovered, none were given that drug. But hey, you found one patient who recovered and you claim it was because of the drug! Is it above your intelligence to consider that he might have recovered anyway?

    It has been in testing for some time. They are rushing to verify efficacy and then to start mass production if successful.

    Doctors are rushing this and doing everything they can. Trump has nothing to do with it. Republicans and Democrats have nothing to do with it. This is up to the medical experts. And they are doing everything they can as fast as they can.

    This is why the world needs those liberal educated idiots. ;) They are your only hope now.
