The First Case of COVID-19 in the US Treated with Remdesivir Was in late January – Two Weeks Later China Was Mass Producing the Drug – The Firm Gilead Sciences and Dr. Fauci Are In the Middle

The first known case of COVID-19 showed up in the US in Washington state on January 19, 2020. The individual had traveled to visit family in Wuhan, China, and had returned on the 15th. The patient was immediately placed under surveillance and after declining health, he was finally given a drug being developed, remdesiver.

Treatment with intravenous remdesivir (a novel nucleotide analogue prodrug in development) was initiated on the evening of day 7, and no adverse events were observed in association with the infusion.

Soon after treatment the individual recovered.

The Washington State patient was lucky that the clinic that he first attended provided his samples to the CDC. It’s certainly unique that the patient was recommended remdesivir for treatment. He was then advertised as the first COVID-19 infected patient to recover from remdesivir.

By mid-February a Chinese company started mass- producing remdesivir:

On Feb. 12, 2020 – that is correct, Feb. 12 – 10 days after Trump initiated the China travel ban, Bloomberg reported:

“A Chinese drugmaker said it has started mass-producing an experimental drug from Gilead Sciences that has the potential to fight the novel coronavirus, as China accelerates its effort to find a treatment for the widening outbreak.

Then in late February, a study began in Nebraska, to evaluate remdesivir (which all sounds a$$ backwards):

A randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational antiviral remdesivir in hospitalized adults diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has begun at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha. The trial regulatory sponsor is the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. This is the first clinical trial in the United States to evaluate an experimental treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory disease first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Looking back, it’s curious how the doctors in Washington state became aware of the use of remdesivir for COVID-19. What information did they receive that would lead them to try this relatively unknown drug? Then how could the drug begin being mass-produced in China before trials even occurred in the US?

Perhaps the answer is related to the firm that produces remdesivir – Gilead Sciences. It’s mission is – “To advance therapeutics against life-threatening diseases worldwide”. Gilead is a also a large company that spends millions in its lobbying efforts annually:

Gilead is also connected to Wuxi AppTec and George Soros according to WND:

And just who, or what is Gilead Sciences? Gilead is partnered with Wuxi AppTec, an international pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device company. According to Wikipedia, “The company covers the development cycle through five core operations, including small molecule R&D and manufacturing, biologics R&D and manufacturing, cell therapy and gene therapy R&D and manufacturing, medical device testing, and molecular testing and genomics.” And where, you may ask, is the company located? Wuxi AppTec was begun in Shanghai by Dr. Gi Li now with facilities also in Wuxi City and Suzhou, China, as well as facilities in St. Paul, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Wuxi AppTec is owned in part by none other than America’s own – George Soros.

We reported a month ago, that the China coronavirus was connected to the above players and to China’s Communist Party:

In addition, WND reports Gilead is related to UNITAID:

Holding this web together is the fact that Gilead has endorsed and is engaged with a drug purchasing group, UNITAID. UNITAID is an outgrowth of the United Nations, Millennium Declaration of 2000, which is now the U.N. Global Compact.

The large investors in UNITAID include WHO, George Soros, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and a partnership relationship with the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Both Drs. Fauci and Birx are associated with the Clinton Health Access Initiative.

The one person behind the promotion of Gilead’s remdesivir is the doctor who has worked with Gilead for a long time, Dr. Fauci. He also has downplayed and criticized the use of the much cheaper drug hydroxychloroquine:

Can there be any uncertainty as to why Dr. Fauci, who worked closely with Gilead, is strongly promoting its more expensive and less effective medication, which has already failed against Ebola, over a readily available, markedly affordable medication with a 91% success rate?

How long has the production of remdesivir been in the planning? Why is this drug so highly touted by Dr. Fauci? The answer appears to be related to Gilead Sciences.

WHAT??? With no clinical studies? No double-blind taste tests? Not even anecdotal evidence?

Well, the fact that the patient for this trial recovered is ONE anecdotal evidence ( as opposed to THOUSANDS for Hydroxychloroquine ).

Gilead has been working on remdesivir for over 4 years - developing it for MERS, SARS and ebola and a few other respiratory bugs.

They are working in China as it has the most cases of MERS and SARS. Gilead also has been working with the chinese virologists on Hepatitis C for which Gilead developed a cure for and China had many cases.

Kinda bad optics to be working in a place on a respiratory bug and VIOLA a respiratory bug is mysteriously let loose on an ill-prepared planet.

Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro

Remember that the medical Pharmo establishment is all about vaccines

whether or not they work

weatger or not they hurt or kill you

they want millions and millions of healthy people to line up and get a $100 shot and that’s how they’re going to make billions of dollars

for the most part they don’t want any of these therapeutics - especially hydroxy Clora Quinn because it’s 70 years old well proven and works very effectively and is about four dollars a dose

I will chime in here and his shirt without question that silver nano particles also are very effective at killing bacteria and viruses and the government is run misinformation campaigns about that for decades as well because guess what ? it’s free

When you go and see your doctor they make 10 times as much money if you get a flu shot or some kind of shot versus not

Exactly. By definition, there couldn't've been any anecdotal evidence. They just took a flyer.

And it worked! What are the odds?

Sayyyyy, you don't suppose...?

Nahhh. That would be the craziest conspiracy theory since the "moon landing".

RE; Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro

Since we are into IN VITRO studies, I can show you this for Hydroxychloroquine:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41421-020-0156-0

TITLE: Hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic derivative of chloroquine, is effective in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro

so, why the excitement over Remdesivir in vitro and not Hydroxychloroquine?

Okay. So they gave it to the first patient and he or she recovered with no ill effects.

What about the second patient? Or the third or fourth?

What did they treat them with?

Or did they just have one dose of Remdesivir laying around in the junk drawer?

Oh. Wait. No. I figured it out. Once they had their first success story, that became "anecdotal evidence" and that treatment was halted until clinical studies could be conducted.

Damn, man. I missed my calling. I could've been an "expert".

You missed two important points from that study

First of all , the DATE

Second, it used a quinoline

RE: First of all , the DATE

The date was March 18,2020. I don’t know why that would matter. If it works in March, why wouldn’t it work forever?

RE: Second, it used a quinoline

Why does the title of the study have Hydroxychloroquine in it?

The date is Feb 4 and it is Bat lady indicating she has already figured out what to do and includes the class of drugs.

Maybe you dont understand what Quinoline means as a Class of Drugs.
