So again this goes back to my previous statement that the president of the United states should have a higher standard of what information he is giving publicly. Off label approval isnt even a real thing yet he said and now people all over the country are saying as if it's true. He needs to be more careful when he talks and not just try to always make himself sound smarter than he is.
Either way, he needs to realize that he's not an expert and his opinion isn't worth that much when it comes to the science behind tackling this issue.
I'm just saying that a 350 out of 350 cure rate by a family practitioner sounds like pure ********.
Oh I agree, I'm just saying his words matter. What he says and how he says it matter. And he just doesn't seem to grasp that.
That's a gross oversimplification. If he says something he needs to be smart about what he is saying. He has a tendency to both over exaggerate and counter what his experts are saying. Just say we're doing our best, we're looking into possible treatments, here is Dr. Fucci our expert. Easy
Agree with that. Also without confirming by testing, 350 out of 350 may not have had covid 19.
The VP went to great lengths to say that they made changes under these unprecedented circumstances for the FDA approval of "off-label" use. They way I understood it is this is an emergency provisional use. The full studies have not been submitted and reviewed, and, therefore, the indication remains unchanged.
No not be a politician, just dont make things up or exaggerate. In a time of crisis or mass panic exaggerating makes things worse. No one up to that point had used the term game changer in any manner about these drugs, so why say it? Say what you know, then let the expert say what he knows. It has nothing to do with being a politician.
And once again, people who should know better mis-spoke and caused further confusion. What is actually true is that "The FDA cleared the way for New York to experiment with the malaria and lupus drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic Zithromax (generic name azithromycin) as a treatment for COVID-19". The FDA has not made any changes to its processes for drug approval and has not changed its stance on off-label use.
You dont see the difference in telling people something might be helpful or that something might be a game changer? That's like coach Brown telling the Blue lot this team might be national champs next year. They could possibly be, but then again they might just be slightly above average. Why say it with such strong wording? What good does it do anyone?
We are all actually more alike than we are different.
