Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

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.

I am also thankful that Peter has  recovered.     ..82%..Tom

Gluppy as you are so lovingly and often referred to on these forums. Your (sic) everyone’s great grand mother in law.

FWIW, I enjoy @glupson’s clarity and sarcasm. I don’t get GGMIL vibes.

noromance,

Well, thanks. I did not expect it.

For the record, in this particular thread, I curbed myself. It was not my intention to be sarcastic, but rather informational (taking and giving) and respectful of Mr. Ledermann.

I also was trying to be informational and not to be shot at. The world needs both vaccines and therapeutics the one I mentioned may potentially be the turnaround short and long term. That's all. Tom
