If so, they may have had the solution all along! (Universal Images Group\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Monica Almeida, 37, became infected with COVID-19. She was previously vaccinated for COVID. Her health became worse and reached a point to where she needed to go to the hospital. She ended up in ICU and she was subsequently placed in a medically induced coma. Her doctors provided her with Viagra, which was followed by her emerging from her coma. She was able to return home before Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Forbes:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The New York Post story included a quote from Almeida telling The Sun, &#8220;It was definitely the Viagra that saved me. Within 48 hours it opened up my airwaves and my lungs started to respond.&#8221; She added, &#8220;If you think how the drug works, it expands your blood vessels. I have asthma and my air sacks needed a little help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Take a wild little blue pill guess as to who else reported on this case. Yes, FOX News host Tucker Carlson had covered this story on his show &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; along with a &#8220;this-isn&#8217;t-exaggerating-anything-is-it&#8221; headline that said &#8220;Little Blue Miracle&#8221; hovering over his left shoulder:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/et4r-mAnyr4\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, in the segment, Carlson said, &#8220;Who thought Viagra would save us from the pandemic?&#8221; Marc Siegel, MD, FOX News Medical Contributor, who joined Carlson on the show concluded the segment by saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m getting ready to try it out.&#8221; All right, maybe that last statement was TMI. Regardless, did Carlson and Siegel seem a little too happy to see this news about Viagra? Before you make 2022 an &#8220;erection&#8221; year or even a mid-term &#8220;erection&#8221; year, take a closer look at what specifically was said on the segment.<\/p>\n<p>Siegel described how Viagra can &#8220;improve blood flow to the lungs. It improves oxygen in the lungs.&#8221; He went on to say that &#8220;it makes something called nitric oxide. Now nitric oxide is something that the Covid virus decreases and Viagra increases.&#8221; He first cited a study from Chile on the use of Viagra and then quickly moved to citing several studies that supposedly showed that &#8220;if you inhaled nitric oxide, you lungs did a lot better with Covid.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t really provide details on the studies such as the journal publications that may have described them, the designs of the studies, the number people in each study, or the studies&#8217; limitations. Nevertheless he concluded that &#8220;I think this is the beginning of something and further studies are going on, and I think this is a potential treatment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/brucelee\/2022\/01\/08\/nurse-says-viagra-saved-her-from-severe-covid-19-coronavirus-infection\/?sh=6b750c62b164\">Forbes<\/a>, the New York <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/01\/03\/uk-nurse-recovers-from-covid-19-after-being-given-viagra\/\">Post<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/17200254\/mum-woke-coma-covid-viagra\/\">Sun<\/a> have more details on the story.
