A few minutes ago on MSNBC's 7 PM show with Steve Kornacki.

an ICU with a severe case of CV19, but much less dangerous if relative healthy, taken in small doses, and closely monitored. People take it long-term for RA, Lupus.

There are still docs that think it might be beneficial prophylacticly, mixed with other meds.

I’ll take my chances without, though.

Thousands of cured COVID patients are donating plasma, and I have only heard of rat tests here and there. The rat results are good.

I have a 'Conspiracy Theory' that the 'Ubers' are getting the antibodies from the Covid cured patients. They r not scared cuz they have 80-95% immunity with regular doses of plasma from cured Covid patients.

He probably thinks saying that gives him superior credibility on it which in his "mind" gives him cover for firing Dr. Bright and counters the pushback from scientists after he recommended it.
