Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to Jerusalem on Monday, greekcitytimes.com reports.
During the press conference following the meeting, Netanyahu took a vial out of his pocket, which contained medicine against COVID-19. He labeled it a “miracle drug.”
It is an inhaled preparation, which has been tested on patients in Israel and, according to Netanyahu, has impressive results.
“If you’re infected by corona and are seriously ill and have a lung problem, take this, inhale it, and you come out feeling good,” he added.
Mitsotakis expressed Greece’s willingness to take part in clinical trials.
“Assuming that we can overcome the regulatory hurdles, Greece would be happy to participate in clinical trials,” he said, adding “We would all be very relieved if we could find a drug that could cure the disease itself.”
A whopping 29 out of 30 moderate-to-severe COVID-19 patients who were administered the EXO-CD24 treatment by Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital) as part of a Phase I trial, recovered from the disease and were released within three to five days.
The drug is an innovative compound based on enriched CD24 exosomes and is inhaled directly into the lungs to eradicate the cytokine storm that results from the COVID-19 virus.
