How did Rudy get Trump's velvet-rope COVID treatment?

It may be the dying days of Trump’s presidency, but some are getting lifetime benefits.

Rudy Giuliani, currently convalescing in a Georgetown hospital bed from COVID-19, called into his native WABC radio station on Tuesday for an update on his treatment for the deadly virus.

Rest assured, the wheeler-and-dealer feels fine. Particularly, Giuliani, 76, said, after having received the same cocktail of drugs given to President Trump in October.

It comes after President Trump himself in October got the same course that Giuliani says he received: remdesivir, dexmethasone, and, to top it off, the most promising of them all, regeneron — a newly developed monoclonal antibody treatment that beefs up the body’s immune response to the virus.

Giuliani's access to Regeneron's REGN-COV2 - the same monoclonal antibody treatment and immune booster Trump received in October - has led to suspicions the president ordered that Giuliani be availed of the as-yet publicly unavailable treatment.

He got it because of wealth and privilege, how else.
