In response to protests from medical experts, U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner Stephen Hahn apologized Tuesday for exaggerating the significant benefits of treating COVID-19 patients with recovering plasma.
Scientists and medical experts have rejected claims about the remedy since President Donald Trump’s Sunday announcement that the FDA had made the decision to include an emergency authorization for convalescent plasma, taken from patients who have recovered from coronavirus and are rich in antibodies.
Trump praised the resolution as a historic step forward, even though the price of the remedy has not been set. The announcement on the eve of Trump’s Republican National Convention raised suspicions that he had a political motivation to make up for the president’s complaint about the president’s handling of the pandemic.
Hahn echoed Trump’s saying that another 35 out of 100 people would suffer from coronavirus if treated with plasma. This statement largely overestimates the initial findings of the Mayo Clinic’s observation.
Ultra-Orthodox young men were among the first participants in it and constituted a significant percentage of plasma donors.
The 35% figure led to the conviction of other scientists and former FDA officials, who asked Hahn to correctly order the search.
“I was criticized for my comments Sunday night on the benefits of convalescent plasma. The complaint is entirely substantiated. What I have said greater is that knowledge shows relative relief in risk, not absolute relief in risk,” Hahn tweeted.

Democratic Secretary of State Mike Pompeo advanced his speech at the Republican National Convention in Jerusalem.
An aide to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who worked for the State Department, called Pompeo’s speech “completely embarrassing. Assistant Bill Russo says it’s “an abuse of taxpayers’ money.”
Another Biden DEPUTY, Kate Bedingfield, called Pompeo a “career boy” from President Donald Trump and said he had a record of “repeated and flagrant use of his own for openly political ends.”
Secretaries of state travel abroad in the name of the agenda of a U.S. administration, but Pompeo’s speech at a party conference on foreign soil is an atypical case.
Pompeo is in Khartoum, Sudan, but pre-recorded Monday night’s speech from the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, using the city as a backdrop. Trump’s management has used his pro-Israel policies similar to Jerusalem’s popularity as Israel’s capital as a talking point for the campaign.
Russo called in Pompeo’s explanation that he will face republican conference in non-public time. Russo notes that the speech remains a component of “official travel” and that taxpayer cash “took him there” and “pays for his protection” and for “the ground” with him.
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Pompeo’s resolution “violates its own policy.” Booker referred to Pompeo’s “memorandums and instructions” recently sent to workers in his branch that prohibit hard political work on official travel, even in his own time.

Erdogan met on Saturday with Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hamas commander Saleh al-Arouri to hold closed-door talks.
“The continued awareness of this terrorist organization only serves to isolate Turkey from the foreign community, undermines the interests of other Palestinian people and undermines global efforts to save them from Gaza’s terrorist attacks,” Foggy Bottom said in a statement.
“We continue to express our considerations about the Turkish government’s relations with Hamas at the level. This is the moment President Erdogan has welcomed Hamas’s leaders to Turkey this year, and the first assembly will take place on February 1,” he added.
Erdogan also spoke by phone with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday.

He called Tuesday’s progress “a failure for Americans, who think they can force a fragile and deficient country like Sudan to normalize relations with Israel.”
“But the Sudanese government has reacted wisely,” he says. Sudan “is already sufficiently divided, there is no desire to go up with (the one of) normalization with Israel, on which there is no consensus. Sudan has other fish to fry with all the disorders it has.”

Israel’s first advertising flight to the United Arab Emirates will be from Israel to Abu Dhabi, probably on an El Al plane, according to U.S. officials. It will bring a U.S. delegation led by President Donald Trump’s most sensible adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and national security adviser Robert O’Brien, authorities said.
They say the Israeli delegation would be made up of experts in the fields of aviation, space, fitness and banking.
