“It is the most incredible thing I have ever seen,” said the president in an interview with the popular radio program of conservative journalist Rush Limbaugh.
Regarding the composition of the drug cocktail, led by Colombian doctor Faisal Alfonso Fakih, the British newspaper The Guardian says that Donald Trump enters into a contradiction, as he opposes abortion and the medicine he is taking to cure himself of COVID- 19 is based on cells from unborn human fetuses.
The media notes that this drug is experimental and has not yet been approved by the FDA as an effective cure against coronavirus.
Regarding his apparent speedy recovery, the US president said, quoted by Efe agency: “You know, I was not in the best physical shape. A day later he was fine; maybe not perfect, but fine; but a couple of days later, now I am free (of coronavirus) ”.
And he added: “Now I feel perfect, I’m not taking anything; I’m out of the regimen they gave me, but it was mostly this drug, “said Donald Trump, who announced a week ago that he had contracted COVID-19.
For this reason, he pointed out that his Administration is going to send Regeneron’s experimental cocktail and that of the pharmaceutical Eli Lilly “to all hospitals” in the US: “I’m going to get them approved really very quickly,” he stressed.
And he continued: “It is the most surprising thing, it is not Remdesivir, it may help a little, but Remdesivir is not the same. This is so good that it eliminated the virus. “
At another point in the interview, the president assured that the cocktail they gave him at the hospital is even better than the future vaccine.
Trump announced Thursday that he planned to organize a rally this Saturday in Florida and thus restart his campaign after his hospitalization and convalescence from COVID-19, which has not yet been confirmed by either the White House or his electoral team, although media outlets Communication have indicated that he may not be able to travel until at least Monday.
Will Trump be able to return to the campaign this Saturday?
His doctor Sean Conley said yesterday that the president will be able to participate in public events this Saturday given his positive evolution.
Trump has shown no symptoms of coronavirus since Tuesday after being hospitalized for the weekend after his diagnosis and suffering from fever, fatigue and at least two oxygen drops.
Yesterday the biotechnology company Regeneron, owner of the monoclonal antibody treatment that the president has received, asked the regulator for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US for emergency authorization so that its therapy is available to the entire population.
Trump received an 8-gram dose of an antibody cocktail from Regeneron shortly after his positive was confirmed and despite the fact that its use was not authorized by the FDA.
In addition, he has been treated with the steroid Dexamethasone to compensate for the drops in blood oxygen saturation, which he also suffered, and with the antiviral Remdesivir.
On Wednesday, the president announced in a video posted on Twitter that he wanted his treatment to be available to all Americans.
According to the US network CNN, Regeneron’s co-founder and CEO, Leonard Schleifer, has been a member of the Trump Golf Club in Westchester (New York).
The channel estimates at 450 million the funds that Regeneron received as part of the operation “Warp Speed” (speed of light) that the Trump government has launched to promote the development and supply of treatments and vaccines against the coronavirus.
