I am greatly appalled at the medical advice that Trump and some of his group keep giving. First it was bleach that was going to cure the virus, then it was hydro-chloroquine which can be very deadly and now it is convalescent plasma. Trump even got the head of FDA to give an emergency authorization for the use of this plasma in patients with the corona virus. The doctor was trained as an oncologist, but then became a hospital administrator. Even most medical students know you do not prescribe a new treatment that has not been put through standard double blind tests on thousands of people to show it would be effective and not dangerous. I guess it is more important for Trump to say there are new treatments for the virus, so he can be re-elected. In doing this he is putting people's lives in real danger. I wonder what will be the next wonder drug or treatment he will push?
If he tries to push a vaccine before it is safe, there will be illnesses and deaths. People will also be afraid to have the vaccine if and when it is actually safe. I certainly understand that. We have enough problem now with parents who will not let their children be vaccinated for diseases like measles, polio, tetanus and diphtheria and other illnesses. These children are being put at great risk. because of this.
