Whas up wid dat boyos?
Anyone want to take a guess as to what it was or maybe one of our more connected posters knows?
I wonder if Prime Minister Johnson got a shot of hydroxychloroquine, aka Trumpicillin?
The people have a right to know.
If I came down with a case of the Chinese Kung Flu, that's what I would ask for, to try and keep me out of the hospital.
No, the people do not have a right to know. There is no right to the details of another person's medical treatment in the US. Where do you think such a right derives from?
Why wouldn't a doctor make available the results of a successful therapy, particularly with a disease that so little is known about? If Johnson was given the Trump Cure, I can't think of a single legitimate reason why the people shouldn't be informed.
Many reasons.
First of all, any medical procedure anyone goes through is entirely confidential under the HIPAA laws.
No doctor can reveal anything about the medical treatment of anyone, by law.
Second is that what works for one could kill another,so it would be irresponsible,
Third is it could be complex, and not only hard to describe, but hard to know what actually helped from a series of things all tried at once.
Forth is that it could lead to criminal activity. For example, what if antibodies were taken from those who recovered? Do you want wealthy people to kidnap recovered individuals, in order to steal their antibodies?
There have been cases of it working on patients afflicted with the virus and it was reported and their name was reported....now the patient may have agreed to release the info....anyhow....I do not think Boris would mind releasing the info.
