"I want them to try it. It may work, and it may not work. But if it doesn't work, it's nothing lost by doing it. Nothing. Because we know long-term what I want. I want to save lives, and I don't want it to be in a lab for the next year-and-a-half as people are dying all over the place. In France, they had a very good test. They're continuing. But we don't have time to go and say, gee, let's take a couple of years and test it out, and let's go and test with the test tubes and the laboratories. We don't have time. I'd love to do that, but we have people dying today. As we speak, there are people dying. If it works, that'd be great. If it doesn't work, we know for many years malaria, it's incredible what it's done for malaria. It's incredible what it's done for lupus, but it doesn't kill people."
