I think this is a subtle slight to the fda. He is taking "experimental" drugs that fda won't approve that have better safety profiles and longer usage history than the drugs they have approved. There really are miracle drugs available that aren't getting approved because of fda games such as leronlimab and avitdapil. Medical tyranny of big pharma is coming to an end.

FDA is slow, slow for real world reasons, too many scumbag scammers looking for fast money - HOWEVER I think they really need to speed up, right to try is a good step

Absolutely. But they are purposely slow right now on drugs that have great results and quickly approving drugs that reduce chance of death by only a little

Right to try is very good for the medical industry.

A lot of gains in science were done to unwilling test subjects.

There are so many potential subjects that are willing to try things even if it has a chance to make things worse or cause a different problem.

People can be in so much pain from debilitating but not fatal disease that they'll try experimental treatments in an effort to curb the pain. This is really good for medical science.

Trump is benefiting from his own "right to try" program, I just realized.

Yup, this was a genius move. Many anti Trump people are glued to the screen waiting for Trump news. Him getting sick really brought out the humanity in a lot of people. Don't subscribe to the god emperor time traveler stuff but reminds me of when Jesus was carrying the cross and is hung between two criminals. One recognizes his holiness and ends up in heaven, the other spews hatred and ends up in hell
