Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

I'm coming out of my cone of silence to say that I somehow made it through that video.  It adds nothing to any evidence that Leronlimab does anything in the severe cytokine storm phase of COVID.  It's a pure anecdote, and as the narrators of the story admit, neither was directly involved in the care of the anecdotal case of Mr Estrada.  So we and they don't know what else was done for the patient that might have effected his favorable outcome, besides also kismet.  I fervently hope that Leronlimab is a good drug in severe COVID, but the proper studies need to be done, or if such a study has been done, it needs to be formally reported in a reputable peer-reviewed journal (not Youtube) before one can draw any conclusion.  Note that one comment on the video states that even the Philippines FDA has not authorized the drug even for emergency use.

Also has been used in the US..people need to ask more questions instead of big drug companies influencing the FDA.
Several American doctors have  come out in favor of this drug for covid use..including Dr. Bruce K Patterson who has over 138 research papers many related to Covid Hiv and Cancer. One doc stated that over 100,000 Covid patients could have been saved with the use of this very safe drug if it was eneacted over a year ago.
This drug disrupts the CCR5 receptor which squelches the cytokine storm. People need to know..Tom

theaudiotweak,

Mr. Ledermann has implied that he would like to put this thread to rest. At least that is how I understood it.

Why not respect his intentions about the thread started for him?

As far as the drug you are advertising goes, please take it to some other venue where minutia of cytokine storm treatment can be discussed ad nauseam with more people who have actually seen one.

Gluppy as you are so lovingly and often referred to on these forums.  Your everyone's great grand mother in law. She though can probably explain to you in simple terms the conversion properties of a transducer something you so boldly failed to recognize recently on another thread. Peter builds some of the finest mechanical to electrical transducers on Earth. Take good care Peter.   

I am out of here stage left. Tom

Audiotweak, Why do you think it is referred to as a "Cytokine Storm"? Because dozens of different Cytokines are involved, is the answer, and CCR5 is only a minor player.  So far, no single cytokine suppressor or method of suppression has done more than a little good for patients in end stage disease. Some of them work well enough to have received an EUA from FDA.  Such an effect has not been formally shown for Leronlimab. For sure, you have no idea what it means to differentiate anecdotal evidence, including "testimony" from doctors you can find on the internet, from scientific evidence that is sound enough to use as a basis for a regulatory decision.  Your persistence in this matter causes me to wonder whether you have a financial interest in the drug.  Peter recovered, thankfully, without the benefit of Leronlimab.  May I use that as evidence it is not needed? By your standards, I could.
