You know, the one you won't get, since trailer trash don't get $100,000 treatments when they go to the ER.

But keep voting Republican! Freedom!

Fuck socialist healthcare amirite!

...but wait, we need to also give you that $265 stimulus check to hold you over for 6 months since your unemployed ass can't get back to work at Taco Bell until the fake Kung Flu is over!!

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said Friday he became "desperately ill" from Covid-19, but now believes he is "out of the woods" after receiving an antibody treatment.

Carson, 69, was among the latest Trump administration officials or campaign advisers who have tested positive for Covid-19. Carson tested positive last Monday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
In a Facebook post Friday giving an update on his condition, Carson shared that he was "extremely sick" with the virus and that he initially saw "dramatic improvement" from a product he took, which is not FDA-approved or a proven treatment for Covid-19.
"However, I have several co-morbidities and after a brief period when I only experienced minor discomfort, the symptoms accelerated and I became desperately ill," Carson wrote.

Carson claimed that President Donald Trump was monitoring his condition and cleared the secretary to receive a monoclonal antibody therapy given to Trump in October when he was diagnosed with Covid.
Carson wrote that he believes the treatment saved his life.

I think they approved one of them. But there was only like 50k doses by EO2020 or something since it is complicated to make. Your random hospital in Nebraska won't have much of it. And it sure as hell isn't going to just anybody. Trump got it because he knew the CEO. Cletus the TrumpTard doesn't know anyone besides his cousin.

Hopefully Ben Carson recovers so he can also be kicked out of government in January, tbh...

Sounds like dumbass Carson was feeling OK then got hit with the well-known cytokine storm.

None of my business, but he volunteered that he has "several co-morbidities"?

I have two friends who were diagnosed positive for COVID-19. They were both treated with remdesivir. They are both fine now. One had influenza at the same time. The flu created more issues for him than did the COVID but YMMV.

"you lost me at 'I have two friends'"

The ‘very, very bad look’ of remdesivir,

the first FDA-approved COVID-19 drug
Oct. 28, 2020

The bottom line from the trials so far is

there simply isn’t enough evidence that remdesivir works,

says Jason Pogue, a University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, researcher who is president of the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.

Pogue believes

FDA made a mistake

and, unless more data emerge, EMA should not give the drug full approval.

“There are more questions than answers about the efficacy of remdesivir in hospitalized patients,” he says.
