"There is both a critical human need as well as a strong political driven influence that will expedite ANY effective CV19 therapeutics and treatments knowing that a safe and effective vaccine is very questionable in the short term and possibly even in the long term."

Mo...I could not agree more with this statement. The current administration clearly would love to have an effective therapy to announce ahead of the election. If B gets some attention through the RBLs and perhaps a grant, this could move quickly. I wonder if the announcement today on the potential pull ahead on the trial dates was a result of political influence?
