After sleeping for a few hours, his temperature was still 38.61 degrees Celsius and he felt nauseous in his bathroom, then he fainted while on his way back to the bedroom. Fortunately, he was with his girlfriend to prevent his head from hitting the ground.

He insisted: "There is no failure here - which is a great reason to conduct clinical trials. Even safe medicines cannot be taken in 10-fold doses." He also said that his medical condition was never "life threatening".
The study, conducted with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, tested 45 patients between the ages of 18 and 55. Initial results showed that the drug created levels of antibodies equal to or greater than those in patients who recovered from "Covid-19".
