'The Dr. Oz Show' host Dr. Mehmet Oz joins 'Hannity' to discuss how COVID-19 acts in a patient's body
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
As we continue
as we continue,
President Trump made a
triumphant return to the
White House today, where his
doctors that he can get all the
treatment he needs for his
covid 19 diagnosis, including
his fifth and final treatment of
remdesevir
here, to explain the presidents
course of treatment hes the
host of the hit show just
starting his new season. Dr Oz
is with us
Regeneron Remdesevir steroidal
inhalers.
Dare I even say the word words
Hydroxychloroquine with zinc.
I guess the jury is still out in
some peoples minds.
They seem to be the four major
therapeutic breakthroughs.
Your thoughts on what the
president has done, especially
with regeneron and Remdesevir
ive, got the chief scientific
officer of regeneron on the show
tomorrow
he is a Columbia alum.
We were talking about this
30 year, history,
its not an overnight success.
Theyve been working on this
technology,
basically its a antibody
cocktail.
I made an animation that I think
can explain: regeneron also
remdesevir and dexamethasone
there. You are
those virus particles
thats. What the CDC says can be
aerosolized
there. It is getting into the
presidents nose. It happened
about a week ago, through his
trachea and lungs,
the virus particles try to
attack ourselves.
Regeneron blocks the particles
from latching onto those
receptors,
the antibodies getting the
bodys immune system a chance to
recover.
Survivors, replicates and
remdesivir prevents that from
happening
Heres. The big breakthrough
idea
dexamethasone
your immune system. They cause
havoc, but they overreact.
Sometimes
the purple alveoli. They look
like grapes.
You want to stop that reaction.
Steroids prevent what you are
witnessing
filling up the lungs with fluid
the combination of preventing
the virus particles from getting
the Bobby and then preventing
them from reproducing when they
are in the body with the
different drug,
providing an overreaction of the
body
thats. What the doctors used at
Walter Reed
does the CDC
classification of it being
airborne impact the debate,
my question to any doctor: what
would you do
whatever you do is what I
believe is probably the best
course.
The CDC announcement today
that the virus is spread not
just on droplets of saliva, but
aerosolized means it can spread
a lot further, especially in a
nonventilated room
thats. Why, especially indoors, I
always wear a mask.
I would encourage that to
anybody
social distancing, of course,
being the best
you can do that much more
readily outdoors, but as the
weather cools, we are going to
have to get comfortable with
masks everywhere. We go.
We spent much time indoors
in terms of treatment,
dexamethasone for sure.
Remdesevir has good data.
Emergency use. Authorization of
the Fdi
ive got to hand it to the
physicians. Regeneron is a novel
idea,
its been used in other
illnesses.
They have medication coming up
for Ebola, for example
its a wise move, because it is
analogous to convalescent plasma
which we have talked about on
the show
its an old idea.
Take the plasma people survived
the virus, whatever got them to
survive it.
It might be beneficial to you
too, and injected into the
patient.
The scientists brilliantly have
looked at exactly which parts of
the plasma work
they perfected. What to pull out
of it and thats with this drug
represents.
I have encouraging thoughts
about it going forward.
The FDA has to do its homework
to make sure its safe and
effective enough for most
patients
phase. Two human trial
showed us that they have found
the optimal dose of the vaccine.
Some of these phase three trials
began in late July,
so the fact that they are
ongoing tells me they have the
optimal dose.
Nobody is dying,
antibodies like in phase two are
being created, and people
with minimal side effects
that all has to be a good sign.
Am I missing anything?
There is a data safety
monitoring board that would shut
trials down if they have a lot
of side effects.
We are waiting for enough
information about efficacy.
You can only find out if the
vaccine works, if you have enough
illness around, but you can
prevent
the last members of these. Thirty thousand
people should be enrolling this
week next week.
Youve got to wait about a
month month and I have to make
sure you have enough data to
ensure its safe.
Most complications will happen
early
and to make sure its working to
reduce the chance of infection.
As soon as that happens, there
will be a russian to getting
medications out to
first responders doctors and
nurses,
also the most vulnerable members
of population.
Once you protect those groups, it.
