VIDEO: Donald Trump Says 'Catching Coronavirus Was A Blessing From God’

The President of the United States, Donald Trump was seen in a video claiming that catching coronavirus was a "blessing from God" and vowed to make the experimental antibody drug Regeneron free for all Covid patients.


The US president was rushed to the hospital on Friday October 2, after testing positive for the virus. He took an experimental drug Regeneron and on Monday he returned to the White House, with his doctors saying he felt much better and stronger.


Regeneron, which was given to President Trump in an 8-gram injection last week, is an experimental drug that hasn't received emergency use approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.


The patient is injected with the drug, which contains lab-enhanced antibodies generated to mimic how the body would react to an invading virus.


The purpose of injecting the antibodies is to boost the body’s immune system so the virus can be destroyed.


Shares of the pharmaceutical company climbed to almost 5 percent after the president's remarks.


In a video clip shared on his Twitter late Wednesday night, October 7, Trump described how he "felt good immediately" after taking the emergency antibody cocktail, which he praised as a "miracle."
