Two years into a pandemic and with a death toll exceeding a reported 900,000 Americans, it is unacceptable that the FDA and NIAID are needlessly delaying a treatment for late-stage COVID-19 with a remarkable track record of success.

The FDA’s disparate review processes for different treatments that appears to favor large manufacturers is troubling.
