Totally Under Control • 2020

I called my scientific team
in BARDA, and they said, "No way." There was no data to support
that they had any benefit against the coronavirus. They pushed back,
but Dr. Kadlec reiterated that directive to us and said,
"Get on it, get it done." We came up with option of an
emergency use authorization. We could put boundaries in it, restrict the drug

I called my scientific team in BARDA,

00:00:03.402 --> 00:00:05.805

and they said, "No way."

00:00:06.973 --> 00:00:10.244

There was no data to support that they had any benefit

00:00:10.277 --> 00:00:12.078

against the coronavirus.

00:00:12.813 --> 00:00:16.717

They pushed back, but Dr. Kadlec reiterated

00:00:16.075 --> 00:00:20.388

that directive to us and said, "Get on it, get it done."

00:00:21.822 --> 00:00:25.693

We came up with option of an emergency use authorization.

00:00:25.725 --> 00:00:28.461

We could put boundaries in it,

00:00:28.495 --> 00:00:30.798

restrict the drug to only be used

00:00:30.831 --> 00:00:34.134

in people who are hospitalized.

00:00:34.166 --> 00:00:36.997

And I was proud of our team

00:00:36.998 --> 00:00:38.237

for coming up with that compromise

00:00:38.271 --> 00:00:42.997

that we thought would protect the Americans.
