FDA approves use of antiviral drug remdesivir as an outpatient therapy for people with covid-19
Washington Post ^

Federal regulators Friday approved the use of the antiviral drug remdesivir for covid-19 outpatients at high risk of being hospitalized, providing a new treatment option for doctors struggling with shortages of effective drugs to counter the coronavirus.

The FDA is now every bit as corrupt as Fauci.

One of the Covid protocols I’ve seen suggests Nigella Sativa (black cumin seed oil) as an alternative to Ivermectin. It is cheap and readily available on the Internet. I’ve even seen it in Rite-Aid.

There ain't no money in a bullet to the base of the skull.

Plus, Little Lord FauFauchleroy wants to see his victims writhing in agony before they die. He got used to that back in the halcyon AZT days...

Remdesiver has been removed from the use against coronavirus in many countries because it causes more damage than initially thought...

Why are we not using Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine makes no sense at all?

Death is a side effect.

He only cares about the money.

Yes it is. It is well known as a kidney killer.

Remdesivir and Acute Renal Failure: A Potential Safety Signal From Disproportionality Analysis of the WHO Safety Database

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, April 2021. This is the flagship journal of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

Abstract

Remdesivir is approved for emergency use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and authorized conditionally by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Its benefit-risk ratio is still being explored because data in the field are rather scant. A decrease of the creatinine clearance associated with remdesivir has been inconstantly reported in clinical trials with unclear relevance. Despite these uncertainties, we searched for a potential signal of acute renal failure (ARF) in pharmacovigilance postmarketing data. An analysis of the international pharmacovigilance postmarketing databases (VigiBase) of the World Health Organization (WHO) was performed, using two disproportionality methods. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) compared the number of ARF cases reported with remdesivir, with those reported with other drugs prescribed in comparable situations of COVID-19 (hydroxychloroquine, tocilizumab, and lopinavir/ritonavir). The combination of the terms "acute renal failure" and "remdesivir" yielded a statistically significant disproportionality signal with 138 observed cases instead of the 9 expected. ROR of Acute Renal Failure (ARF) with remdesivir was 20-fold (20.3; confidence interval 0.95 [15.7-26.3], P < 0.0001]) that of comparative drugs. Based on ARF cases reported in VigiBase, and despite the caveats inherent to COVID-19 circumstances, we detected a statistically significant pharmacovigilance signal of nephrotoxicity associated with remdesivir, deserving a thorough qualitative assessment of all available data. Meanwhile, as recommended in its Summary of Product Characteristics, assessment of patients with COVID-19 renal function should prevail before and during treatment with remdesivir in COVID-19.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. We are now dealing with a virus variant that’s killing no one and running out of steam, so the corrupt FDA approves an antiviral drug that has a track record of killing people right and left.

Perfect.

I made a thread weeks ago about our employee who was hospitalized with COVID. She started coughing blood AFTER that idiot quack doctor told us that it’s “not FDA approved” and prescribed remdisvir.

We told this staff we are taking her home and some Freepers mailed us ivermectin pills (TY Freepers) to save our employee.

They even make it sound like we “cant” get out of the hospital. Until I had enough and said “it’s like you dont want us to leave here, did I hear you correctly?” They even deliberately took HOURS to make us sign a waiver to get her out of the hospital.

She’s recovered and fine. Hospitals are murder houses.

What I know about remdesivir, could be etched on the head of a straight pin and leave a lot of room on the head of the pin.

Last year, two people, we know and who didn’t know each other received this drug on an experimental trial basis, and in a few days left the Covid ICU in our local hospital.

They are approaching their one year anniversary re remdesivir in a few months.

One is an over 80 year old guy, who needed to lose 40#’s.

He was given this drug in the hospital, and, he was discharged from the hospital after a couple of days later. One of his daughters, an RN completed the course of therapy in her home, where he now lives. A couple of weeks later he got a pace maker and is doing well.

The other patient is a late 40 something woman. She passed out while being driven home from the school, where she was a teacher. She was admitted to the same hospital/ER/Covid ICU, and she was treated with remdesivir and was discharged. She was being considered for a pacemaker before the covid. She had a pace maker installed about 2 weeks later as an outpatient.

She is in her words, “Better than ever, post pacemaker!”

Friend got through Covid-19, but now suffers the side effects of this drug.

Absolutely true about hospitals. I have ivermectin kits that I have given out, and our family have used ourselves. One couple I knew, the husband went to the hospital and was give remdesivor, he died. The wife took the ivermectin and she of course lived. Very tragic.

When the worm turns and its time to take heads of the guilty...

Any doctor prescribing remdesivir should be arrested and tried for attempted murder. And if the patient does die, murder in the first.

The information against remdesivir is widely enough available that no doctor can have “I didn’t know” as an excuse.
