While the president of the United States says he wants to make sure that the corona treatment he received is provided free of charge to the elderly, The New York Times reveals that it has been developed with a method that he himself has condemned.
After Donald Trump was hospitalized last week with coronary heart disease, doctors began comprehensive treatment. It includes the following medications:
** You have been given a large dose of an experimental antibody drug developed by the US company Regeneron.
** He also completed a five-day treatment with the antiviral drug Remdesivir, the first drug to be approved for emergency use against Covid-19.
** Since Saturday, Trump has also been treated with the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone.
Trump himself is in the clouds for the treatment he received.
– I was very sick. I took this drug and it was amazing. It could come out the next day, if not sooner, the president said in a new video Thursday.
– Free
In the same video message, he argues that he wants the treatment to be available to the country’s elderly, completely free of charge.
“You will get it for free and you will get it soon,” Trump said.
He had previously called it “a blessing from God” and a “cure.”
At the same time, The New York Times reveals that the drug Regeneron was developed using fetal tissue from abortions. This is a practice that the president of the United States condemned in 2019.
Therefore, he ordered the country’s Ministry of Health to stop these procedures.
Remdesivir, which is the second drug Trump received, is also developed with the same cells.
The White House has not responded to the newspaper’s request for comment on the information.
New debate
Trump himself has said that he feels “fantastic” and that he is ready to start the election campaign again. It comes at the same time he refuses to participate in a virtual debate on October 15, something the commission has proposed because it can still be contagious at the time.
– I will not sit in front of a computer in the debate. That’s ridiculous, he said.
His wife Melania and much of his staff have also been confirmed infected with the coronavirus.
Biden’s staff, for their part, say they will then meet for the next debate on October 22. He has consistently tested negative, although the two met for discussion two days before Trump announced he was infected.
