U.S. FDA Announces Authorization Of Covid Convalescent Plasma

Hi there, I’m Tigger, of the New News Newshour.

Buckle up for this interesting news about a convalescent plasma that is made from the blood of recovered Covid-19 patients, and could, maybe, treat the disease.

It was issued emergency use by the American FDA, Food and Drug Administration, and has been given to over 70,000 patients, saying the “known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product.”

I think that if you're not a normal citizen, then making plasma like this one needs to be tested multiple times, and telling the users the risks and benefits, and also where that info comes from, let the users decide if they want to use it, so that they’ll have something to count on.

So that's today's Newshour, bye!
