I apologize sincerely if I have been responsible for any rumour regarding cyclosporin and tacrolimus. It was most certainly not my intention. I thought I had made it perfectly clear that the efficacy of these drugs was against coronavirus ( a generic term for a whole number of viruses) and definitely not against Covid-19. I did not think that my message was 'questionable' in any respect or I would not have sent it to you all. I hope it is now abundantly clear that these drugs do not kill Covid 19 but that perhaps immunnosuppressant drugs may play some part in the search for a cure.

I had assumed that our readers would take my words at face value and not jump to unwarranted conclusions. This is obviously not the case and I, for one, have most certainly learnt my lesson on sharing information online.
