and is it because he's high on an experimental cocktail of *conflicting drugs that he comes out with such crap as 'I consider it a blessing from God (catching covid)' and declaring himself as having beaten it?
*regeneron, remdesivir, dexamethasone
has the drug given to trump ever gone through the proper clinical trials to prove its efficacy on human patients? edit: it has entered a phase 3 in its clinical trials
is it considered 'safe', given its experimental (non-fda approved) status? edit: unknown though, so far, it doesn't appear to be dangerous
how does he (trump) know it's regeneron that's making him feel better and not the other treatments he's receiving?

Now, i'm not saying it's ineffective. I have no idea. IF it's the good stuff, then great..let's get it properly cleared and got out there at a price that's affordable for those most in need.
what i am getting at, is--given the reluctance to state when he was last tested negative--how do we know he wasn't already 10 days into disease's manifestation and was fortunate enough to have a mild case, which means (by now) he should not be highly infectious and recovering anyway without any drugs at all? how can we know just how effective regeneron is in this case? unless independent medical bodies familiar with trump's case can confirm the nitty gritties of any of this, it's all just supposition and holds about as much credence as hydroxy.
The simple fact trump's pushing it so hard has me suspicious and thinking
well there ya go:
wonder which party schleifer's been donating to this election-round, though maybe it's more subtle than that
*regeneron, remdesivir, dexamethasone

- who will benefit most financially from him doing this?
- who has promised kick-backs for his coffers?
- what link has regeneron's financial health on the stock market got with trump?

https://ktvz.com/money/2020/10/05/t...maker-regeneron-and-now-its-stock-is-surging/President Trump received a high dose of an experimental antibody cocktail from Regeneron as part of his Covid-19 treatment. Now the drugmaker’s stock is up sharply — and questions are swirling about the president’s ties to Regeneron‘s billionaire CEO.
Trump’s team revealed Friday that the president received the drug, called REGN-COV2, which is being used to alleviate symptoms and reduce viral load. Shares of Regeneron surged 7% in midday trading Monday, bringing the stock’s year-to-date gain to more than 60%.
Regeneron CEO Dr. Leonard Schleifer and President Trump are acquainted: The CEO has been a member at Trump’s golf club in Westchester, New York, and his company also received $450 million in government funding in July as part of the president’s Operation Warp Speed plan to quickly develop a vaccine and other treatments for Covid-19.
Meanwhile, Trump also recently owned shares of Regeneron — as well as Gilead Sciences, maker of the antiviral drug remdesivir that the president is also taking. Both stocks were listed as assets on Trump’s 2017 filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, though neither were holdings on the president’s most recent filing for 2020.
“Len and President Trump are acquaintances from both living in the Westchester area for many years but didn’t have any regular contact until this year, when they’ve discussed matters around Covid on occasion,” Regeneron told CNN Business in a statement.
According to Forbes, Schleifer is now worth $2.5 billion, up from $2.1 billion in the middle of March. Schleifer primarily donated to Democratic political candidates and PACs in the 2016 and 2018 elections, according to Federal Election Commission records.
