Below is a transcript of every word uttered by Fauci tonight in response to a direct question about therapeutics.
Someone, please tell me where he could possibly be referring to LL Mm or SC trial.
LL is not even mentioned by description.
Transcript Fauci 7-23-20 CNN
Wolfe: Beyond the vaccine we're also talking about therapies. So therapeutic issues that potentially might not prevent you from getting coronavirus, but might prevent you from getting really sick and God forbid even die. Where does that stand right now? Because there are a bunch of therapies out there that are being studied right now. Which ones give you the most optimism?
Fauci: Well, there are two that randomized placebo controlled trials will have already shown to be beneficial. One was a trial of remdesivir, which showed in people who are hospitalized with lung disease that diminishes significantly the time it takes to recover. Another randomized placebo controlled trial showed that the steroid dexamethazone in people on ventilators and requiring oxygen diminishes significantly the death rate.
What we do need now, and there are multiple trials that are ongoing or that will soon be initiated to what happens if you treat people early.
One of these is monoclonal antibodies or a natural product that the body makes that directly attacks the virus. That's one trial, and there are multiple candidates for multiple companies that are looking at that. We're also trying to evaluate the efficacy of the passive transfusion of convalescent plasma. And in addition, there are a whole bunch of drugs that are being screened for and developed that are directed against the virus so that we can hopefully block it early on so that people don't go on to advanced disease. A lot of activity going on right now, even as we speak.
Wolfe: Yeah. From what I hear, the potential therapies out there are very, very encouraging. Let's hope that they work. Another issue, the school year, fast approaching.
