Israel Among First To Try Experimental Japanese Coronavirus Drug by olatade(m): 8:30pm On Apr 10, 2020
The drug is to be tested on a total of 80 patients at Hadassah, Sourasky, Poriah Hospital in Tiberias and Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, together with researchers from Hebrew University.


Israel is among the first countries to receive an experimental Japanese drug to treat coronavirus and is testing it at hospitals, the Foreign Ministry said Monday.
Testing in China has found the flu medicine Avigan, produced by Japan’s Fujifilm Holding Corp., is helpful in treating COVID-19 in its early stages, shortening the time the patient is sick and preventing the illness from becoming more severe.

Netanyahu, Gantz say talks will restart…

Israel recently received a first shipment of the drug. That followed weeks of work by Ambassador to Japan Yaffa Ben-Ari; Prof. Ran Nir-Paz, an expert on infectious diseases at Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem; and Dr. Esti Sayag of Sourasky Medical Center’s Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
The committee on clinical trials on humans met at Hadassah on Monday to review some promising drugs being tested on coronavirus patients and authorized experimenting with Avigan.

It is to be tested on 80 patients at Hadassah, Sourasky, Baruch Padeh Medical Center in Poriya (near Tiberias) and Soroka-University Medical Center in Beersheba.
Avigan, which was developed for influenza, is meant to shorten the duration of the illness and decrease the likelihood of other patients in the hospital catching coronavirus, Nir-Paz said.

“The medicine is being used in the front lines of care in Japan,” he said. “The goal of Israeli research is to examine if the medicine is effective for this indication.”
Avigan seems the most promising out of the drugs being tested for treating coronavirus patients in early days of the infection and can help flatten the curve of patients and allow hospitals to provide better care to those in worse condition, Sayag said.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz praised the work of the embassy in Tokyo, the Foreign Ministry and Health Ministry for “successfully bringing this groundbreaking research to Israel.”
“In this challenging time, the Foreign Ministry is on the front lines of the battle against coronavirus and is leading, together with other ministries, Israel’s efforts to find necessary medical supplies and medical solutions to the virus,” he said.
Ben-Ari said she would continue working to get more doses of Avigan to Israel to help prevent infected people’s condition from deteriorating. She thanked Fujifilm for recognizing the high level of medical research conducted in Israel.
Japan plans to stockpile two million doses of Avigan, up from its current level of 700,000, Japanese media reported Sunday. It also plans to prioritize the clinical-trial process of the drug so it can be formally approved to be used in treating coronavirus patients.

While the world brainstorm how to stop Corona, over here we are killing ourselves with the correlation with 5G.

Talking much of "end time" stories. One world government, anti Christ, 666 etc.

Honestly if the world is left for Africa, everyone will vanish in 2 months. Had these apocalyptic people being around during the time malaria was killing people in droves the medicine will never be found.

And it annoys me most when they draw the name of our holy father Pope Francis in their madness.
We all need to repent of our sins and worry less of events that will mark the coming of Jesus.
You can die any time any day of so many things aside corona and your world ends that day. Next will be judgement.

What do you mean?? Africa should have jumped up in joy and applaud the racist French doctor for the trial proposal in Africa??

Do you know how much vetting the Isreali's Govt. Must have done to approve the test of the Japanese drug on her citizens?

Our leaders can't be trusted to vet the trial drug to international required standard. Our leaders are corrupt, lack integrity and can't be trusted.

You may as well volunteer yourself and family to those French doctors for the trial....

The problem most of us have is misinformation, did u watch the video?
The doctors was speaking french most people didn't even know what they were saying, we just believed what the person that interpreted the video said.

The video was a 6 min video, but was edited cutting out all what the doctors said, leaving only the part where the doctors said the vaccine should be testing in Africa.

The vaccine testing they are doing it's already happening in uk, china and America. The doctors only suggest that it should be done in Africa as well.
Besides the doctors don't have say on where vaccine should be tested. It's govt that determine that.

I appreciate you understand and obviously more informed than us, as you claim.

However, your defence for them makes no sense,
If famous French speaking Africans, like Football star Didier drogba, Samuel Etoo Fil, Demba and the peripatetic public speaker Professor Lumumba amongst others, have bluntly condemned and spoke out against it.

Moreso, the doctor has apologized as quoted below,

“I want to present all my apologies to those who were hurt, shocked and felt insulted by the remarks that I clumsily expressed on LCI this week. "

Hence, I don't understand why you holding brief for them, trying to paint us as been ignorant and not well informed and your claim that the video was edited.

Like I said, who make the decision on where vaccine should be tested. You think the French will just come to Nigeria and test their vaccine.

Am not holding a brief for anyone, vaccine and antibodies are being tested everywhere in the world right now.

Am not even having this argument with you. Since u can't get my point.

Very true vaccines are tested everywhere now, but the manner and context he made the remark clearly was derogatory which sparked the outcry. Overall, he apologized which shows that he had said something wrong.

It's a known fact that Africans are considered less valued by the white, hence this skepticism and apprehension when they talk about trial here when the epicenter is at their end.

Also remember the Pfizer vaccination case in Kano, which resulted in injuries and death. If the government was proactive they should have vetted the drug to ensure it was safe for trial on its citizen, like the US is does on drugs thru the FDA.

So people here don't trust the system to safeguard them in times like this and are reluctant to give themselves for trials, hence the outcry.
