If you're an M.D., did doctors at Walter Reed "stumble" on to a cure for COVID-19, with the 2 unapproved drugs they gave Trump?

Remdesivir, an antiviral, is the second drug prescribed to Trump.

Earlier Friday at the White House, the president received an experimental antibody cocktail produced by Regeneron, which has shown promise in reducing the viral load in positive coronavirus patients and alleviating their symptoms. 

The drug is called Regn COV2. The drug is a cocktail of something called monoclonal antibodies.

Regeneron, the manufacturer, said it provided a single eight-gram dose for Trump. 

“He got the highest dose, which at least in the early studies appears to be very effective,” said Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, Stanford infectious disease epidemiologist.

He is also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and aspirin.

    I think they should have given Trump the cure that he came up with right out of his bigly stable-genius brain. Pour a gallon of Clorox down his windpipe so that it would (in his exact words) "really do a number on the lungs," then make him eat an ultraviolet-light bulb. I'm pretty sure that would guarantee that he would NEVER die of Covid. What a tool.
