Researchers Say Plasma May Help COVID-19 Patients, But Lack Proof

The video discusses the potential use of convalescent plasma from COVID-19 survivors to help treat the virus. While past studies, like those from the Mayo Clinic, show some promise, there is no definitive proof or protocol for its use. The FDA's expanded access program aims to increase participation in experimental therapies, but challenges such as varied hospital settings and patient refusal to participate in placebo-controlled studies hinder progress. Plasma shortages further complicate research efforts. President Trump and Dr. Fauci urge recovered patients to donate plasma to aid in treatment efforts.
