The FDA ORDER EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION for use of Convalescent Plasma

Our Trump Frankenstein wanta be scientist is now abusing his emergency powers to push blood transfusions on half dead Covid patients instead of imposing national mandates on mask usage and social distancing and tracing that we all know is the solution at the time.  All of Trump's solutions are not working since we now are approaching 177,000 dead Americans. Most folks don't even know what is Convalescent Plasma. 

It is created from the blood of recovered patients. Transfused into seriously ill patients. Yes the antibody-rich plasma may help fight off infection but it was used to treat MERS, SARS, the flu and Ebola. Covid is none of those diseases Trumpie! We really DO NOT KNOW YET if this treatment is good for fighting Covid . So STOP TRUMPIE abusing your power to force government treatments on unproven remedies like your FEMA Hydro pills, drinking bleach and investments on pill production in Kodak. 

He is basing this authorization based on a August 12 posting of treatment before peer review publication based on the first 35,000 patients that went under this treatment with expanded access. Yes it was done under the watch of great scientists and was done if you got the plasma earlier rather than later in your death bed diagnosis. If you got higher doses of it earlier you did better. It does look promising but it is not ready for widespread use. There are folks who died from this treatment to simply bad transfusion reactions. This uncertainty of various treatments MUST STOP. We need the gold standards from clinical trials and nothing less before we have a unhinged ignorant President pushing his magic potions as we all continue to die. 

Trump needs to look at the NIH treatment guidelines, the Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines and the IDSA treatment guidelines of which NONE OF THEM have changed  their guidelines that Trump still refuses to listen to. They all say they do not have enough proof for or against covalescent plasma treatments. DUMP TRUMP. He is too high maintenance.
