    Regeneron CEO: Trump ‘is a case of one’ and ‘weakest evidence’ for Covid-19 treatment

    He says “large clinical trials” are still needed.

    Excerpt...

    It seems like the POTUS is doing relatively well but how much of that is based on the steroids and cocktail of medications to aggressively fight the virus in his system? It's interesting that the CEO of Regeneron openly states that it's too early to tell and more testing is needed. It's honest, anyway.

    What do you think?

    He's right. It was also fairly irresponsible to use the President as a guinea pig for a new treatment. I assume (hope!) the military has been doing some classified testing that we don't know about before just giving the Pres this new, untested drug...

    ...tho I do have to admit, the apparent success doesn't leave me with a lot of room to complain. It did work, after all.

    I have a feeling that the Trump camp is responsible for him getting the medicine. If I was a pharmacuetical company with a drug that had had only minimal human testing at that point, I wouldn't want it going to the highest profile person imaginable and potentially failing in such a public way. They either had huge faith in the drug or they were pressured.

    Obviously worked out well for both them(their stock price surged) and Trump and I hope the treatment is a successful treatment for COVID-19.

    @Eleuthera, Looks like it's going up quickly.
