In other words: The drug that probably saved the president’s life isn’t available to more Americans because of his failure to govern.

It is deeply unfortunate that we head into Fall without enough doses of this drug. Many of us were talking about this as early as March. Regeneron did extraordinary work to secure their own manufacturing, but we needed a concerted industrial effort to get the supply we needed.

1. I struggle to believe he was sick.

There is no one else who can be in hospital so sick they need oxygen and 2 weeks later back to a full travel schedule. Covid patients that sick are reporting a month later just getting a shower and dressed is exhausting.

Trumpy may be super human but I am not buying.

This said... good info. Thanks for posting.

2. I'm not buying that he could show up negative so fast.

I've read story after story that people were showing positive results WEEKS after systems were gone.

3. Yeah, I'm not buying that he was ever in any danger.

If he even had it to begin with, and it wasn't a cover story for something else.

13. Antibodies are difficult to make.

This sort of treatment has always been very expensive.

7. That is a completely different drug.

Not antibodies. Regeneron is the name of the company, by the way, not the name of the treatment.

9. It's an article about a completely different drug that was never given to Trump.

Regeneron is a company. It tested more than one drug.

10. Thanks

11. Sorry.

I thought he received Regeron and antibody treatment.

[LisaL]

12. Regeneron is the name of the company that makes antibody treatment.

Trump received antibodies made by Regeneron, and anti-viral drug made by a different company.
