desperate times call for desperate measures and doctors can't be persecuted for--you know, I use off label medicines every day

I really--for Senator Sanders' team, I think we should have NIH come in--and I am not pointing--I am pointing a finger, but it is their processes.

I couldn't be more disappointed in what is coming out of the CDC right now.
