    Fancy a shot? Trump's so called miracle cure for Covid 19.

    'Mr Schleifer, who trained as a neurosurgeon, founded Regeneron in 1988, setting up its headquarters not in New York City where he was born, but instead in Tarrytown, farther north on the banks of the Hudson River.

    For years, the company looked like a dud, failing to produce a single successful drug in its first 20 years of existence.

    But then Regeneron made a huge breakthrough, discovering a way to inject human DNA into mice so their immune systems would spit out human antibodies when injected with a virus. This platform was the reason the company was able to move quickly when Covid-19 came along: it injected mice with the virus, and out came antibodies it could test in humans.'
