If an end to the covid emergency is "declared", what happens to the status of covid treatments and even rapid antigen testing which are subject to emergency use authorization?
I'm not asking rhetorically or politically; I'm asking if there is linkage.
@frankp Damn good question.
@countZZero @frankp
Because I researched this for an institutional client I will share knowledge.
Answer: There's no correlation. EAU's remain in place along with the data tracking of these products. EAUs generally have 1 of 3 outcomes: they are studied further, they are granted permanent Authorization Use OR they are withdrawn as a treatment option due to lack of efficacy.
In December, monoclonal antibody drugs had EAU withdrawn authorized because they're not effective against COVID-19.
@Bliss @countZZero Superb info - thank you!
