You have to vote for Trump, to be able to see what's in it!

Taking a page out of the Obama-Pelosi playbook, so quit whining when the shoe is on your foot.

Hardly a major therapeutic breakthrough, or even a rigorously tested treatment. Trump’s hype is bad.

If there really was a major breakthrough wouldn't it be published in NEJM or JAMA first?

I have nothing against the use of convalescent plasma, I don't have a problem with fast tracking it. I have a BIG problem with the President making medical decisions. The FDA can fast track or grant an exemption, no EO needed. For the President to issue an EO regarding a medical treatment is dangerous precedent.

He's announcing it once the wall is built!

Convalescent plasma has been used for years. They used it with MERS and SARS. People need to donate more plasma.

(oh look, I made it sound like the haters actually have principles )
My principles are to listen to prevailing medical sentiment. If the docs and the data support whatever he’s peddling, I’m all for it. So far he has been pitching snake oil. If this time is different, that’s a good thing. It doesn’t make him any less full of it.
