Former FDA chief Scott Gottlieb on President Trump getting a dose of Regeneron antibody drug: 'if you have available therapy, I think you deliver it'
"I would have thought they would use remdesivir because there's more data around that drug at this point and we are seeing that drug be used earlier and earlier in the course of the disease," Gottlieb said, adding that he is "optimistic" about Regeneron's drug, but it's still very early.However, Gottlieb pushed back on any suggestion that Trump receiving Regeneron's treatment should be cause for alarm.
Some doctors are skeptical, however, of the decision to treat Trump with the antibody drug. "It is bad science, bad medicine and bad ethics to give unproven things to powerful people," wrote Dr. Vinay Prasad in a Twitter post. Prasad is an associate professor of medicine and practicing hematologist-oncologist at University of California San Francisco.
