EXCLUSIVE: Can an Oral Polio Vaccine Help Stop the Coronavirus? | Amanpour and Company

People around the world are desperate for a vaccine, cure, treatment, testing – anything that could offer some hope. In 1984, world-renowned virologist Dr. Robert Gallo helped identify HIV and determine how it causes AIDS. Now he is turning his attention to the fight against coronavirus, leading an initiative to repurpose the oral polio vaccine for a short-term treatment. He believes it could provide a couple of months of immunity, buying time for anyone infected to develop the antibodies to fight it. It still awaits FDA approval, but Dr. Gallo believes there is cause for hope -- as he explains to Walter Isaacson in an exclusive interview. Originally aired on April 13, 2020. ..............................................................................................................................
