The Strange Story Of Remdesivir, A Covid Drug That Doesn’t Work
....Remdesivir is not effective for Covid
News media prematurely reported that patients were responding to treatment.
But the published data lated showed that “remdesivir was not associated with statistically significant clinical benefits [and] the numerical reduction in time to clinical improvement in those treated earlier requires confirmation in larger studies.”
The controversy surrounding remdesivir therefore revolves around whether the drug is actually an effective treatment.
Early studies produced conflicting evidence on remdesivir’s effectiveness. Some found that Covid patients who received the drug recovered faster and fewer people died, but other studies showed that it didn’t reduce the length of hospitalization or death rate.
What’s weird about remdesivir is that it hasn’t been held to the same standards as other drug candidates......

Do a little research and get off the golf course or the 19th hole you might learn something.
Great catch Jane.
What happens if a patient already with breathing difficulties is given 10 times the normal dose, as was alleged by the OP?
Ha! your online legacy is COMPLICIT. Cheers
My son is a physician at a Boston hospital and he will say the same thing. It’s the unvaccinated who are filling up the ICUs.
So what Doctor Reardon is saying is, if a person isn't helped by a nasal cannula, pull the plug? Sounds like he's a certifiable idiot.
Yeah because these guys are actively treating patients — oh wait, they are not. They do not even know the class of drugs that they are claiming are causing problems. It is laughable, and you are following blindly their idiocy — it is lovely to see.
Alleged being the key word. No evidence, just more web posting to make a name for himself.
Yes, but there are a zillion idiots right here who hero worship anyone who supports their obviously uneducated claims and allow them to feel as if they have a modicum of knowledge.
Participation trophies for all of them. It is comical at this point to watch.
if they are on a ventilator? nothing. they will be comfortable. But there is an issue with the “normal dose”. It varies widely with the patients tolerance and degree of discomfort of the procedure or treatment they are receiving. The OP admits they are not medical and have no way to evaluate the dosing clinically. I have seen patients that have developed a tolerance take doses many times higher than those that have not to achieve the same level of sedation. This is true not only with midazolam but with all benzodiazepines and opioids
He is not a medical doctor but a pharmacologist. His statements certainly show that. He has no clue about respiratory physiology or treatment of respiratory failure
Mr provaxxer gas.dr has not been so visible of late.
Their plan is to cull the heard.
That means you and i
You missed my point, but Mom covered it.
Noted.
I have been visible — I have been making sure to award participation trophies to those of you without any foundation to comment. There is no point in trying to educate those who are happy in their ignorance. But since you are feeling left out — here is your participation trophy. You are important.
Fair enough, sorry I missed your point. Glad Mom covered it.
Hey — isn’t this the point that bagster should show up and start with his memes — oh wait...
I think bagster is back. I saw him in a thread earlier calling people trolls
Ahhh
2:00 penalty is over I guess
Well maybe he will learn and not incur a game major
