And to think all this time we could have been saving lives...

As awesome as Dr. Lalezari's letter is (and the man himself), your sentence above underscores how tragic and sad it is that he had to write the letter in the first place.

NIH, Operation Warp Speed, the FDA... every single one of these entities should have been overturning every rock in search of treatments for every stage and aspect of Covid. Vaccines AND therapeutics. The fact that the FDA saw what LL could do and disregarded it while remaining open to more data is beyond tragic and borderline criminal. Any biotech (big or small) with anything promising, even if it didn't pan out, should have received help in an all-hands-on-deck kind of way. You need funding? How much? You need to run a trial? Okay, this ICU will be dedicated to testing out your drug and your drug alone. Etc. Etc.

I know I've expressed this same kind of sentiment before, but at some stage, the world will become aware of LL (and maybe other effective treatments) and hindsight will not be favorable to the United States and its healthcare regulatory system.

Quite the opposite in fact.
