Re: FDA issues emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma
#3My issue with Emergency Use Authorization is by how many people use that to mean “FDA Approved”.
The public is not smart enough to tell the difference between something that passed 3 clinical trials and things that did not but are available for use.
The FDA brand is diluted now. I think this needs legislative intervention.
Another damaging thing is that this is used outside of the country, people who shouldnt care will look at the mere acknowledgement by the FDA as validation.
Its really shocking to me.
I’ve seen it ALOT amongst fly-by-night procurement brokers during the pandemic.

Can you expand on your comment. Why is this controversial? Is it because it’s in phase-3 vs approved or is it because there is hope but no concrete evidence that this treatment works?

There is no risk in blood plasma treatment. The FDA did an analysis of 20,000 patients who received the treatment, out of 70,000 total. If it does not end up helping people it's much ado about nothing. There is no reason for the FDA to get in the way of a potentially helpful treatment with essentially zero risk. 180,000 Americans have died, let us try anything that we can.

He could cure cancer and CNN will come out with an article on why cancer is good.

Your average joe doesn’t get to just decide what treatment they get. Doctors do, and those doctors assume liability for their decision.
FDA decisions like this are for healthcare providers and hospital systems.

That is flat wrong. Ever heard of getting a second opinion?
