    I suspect he’s not wrong. However, the evidence for convalescent plasma for #COVID19 is incredibly weak. Certainly the @MayoClinic preprint is NOT particularly compelling evidence of efficacy, although it does support doing an RCT.https://twitter.com/PeterHotez/status/1297716603983929346 …

    Thread 1/5: I suspect the reasons behind the POTUS Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for plasma Rx may have an ulterior motive: They are working to lower the bar for EUAs in general, in order to push what they really want - an EUA for a COVID19 #vaccine

        Given what we have seen a ploy such as this is not beyond them even though it would be completely irresponsible and despicable. That actually makes it seem more likely really.

        We test therapies based on science - and don’t approve based on notions.

        Don't see how this travesty doesn't up with *less* plasma being donated. It has the Trump stain now, so science-driven patients will think they're aiding his agenda by donating. Can't imagine Trump supporters flocking to make up the difference.

        (Conforming w/Dr. Hotez's idea that it's laying groundwork for EUAs in general, not plasma.)

        From the peanut gallery... EUA's are unmanaged and provide no data that can be used to even generate a SWAG. We need a documentation process for off label and EUA's. Someone said 300 patients recovered fine. Someone needs to check their health, check their antibody titer... etc.
