Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
President United States of America, Donald trump, will be admitted to Walter Reed Military Hospital for several days after receiving an experimental drug for COVID-19 on Friday (2/10).
“On the recommendation of doctors and medical experts, the president will work from the presidential office in Walter Reed for a few days,” said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
US presidential physician Sean Conley claimed that Trump received a dose of the experimental drug Covid-19 from the company Regeneron shortly before being transferred to the hospital.
“She is being evaluated by a team of experts and we will make recommendations to the president and the first lady on the best steps to take,” Conley said in the statement. AFP.
Some experts have criticized the White House medical team’s move for providing an untested experimental drug for Covid-19.
“We should not give the president a treatment that has not proven effective,” said physician Jeremy Faust.
In line with Faust, the professor at the University of California, San Francisco, Vinay Prasad, also considered the decision of the medical team very bad.
“Scientifically bad, medicine is bad and ethics is bad because it gives unproven things to people in power that it doesn’t even give to ordinary people,” he said.

“All I can say is that they asked to be able to use it, and I am happy to comply with that request,” he said.
He went on to explain that Trump was not the first to receive treatment with these antibodies.
“However, when the president of the United States uses it, of course we are very concerned,” he said.
