The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved Gilead Sciences antiviral drug remdesivir as a treatment for the coronavirus.
In May, the FDA granted the drug an emergency use authorization, allowing hospitals and doctors to use the drug on patients hospitalized with the disease even though the drug has not been formally approved by the agency. The intravenous drug has helped shorten the recovery time of some hospitalized Covid-19 patients. It was one of the drugs used to treat President Donald Trump, who tested positive for the virus earlier this month.

It is not a magic bullet. So far there are no magic bullets. But combined with other treatments we are making steady progress on the mortality rate. We need to use what we have, not what we wish we had.
This is why we cannot have nice things. Some people just need to shit all over positive developments.
So in your medical opinion what drug[s] helped Pres. Trump beat Corvid so quickly?
I am not paid any differently to use remdesivir or not use it. How many patients have you treated and what were you paid?
It helped (Not sure if it saved) but it really helped my boyfriend.
Congratulations to the Fauci family!
The very expensive drug that is widely reported to have minimal beneficial impact gets FDA approval.
The very cheap, old, safe, and proven drugs that are widely reported to have BIG impact do not have FDA approval for COVID.
Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Anything at all?
Does this stuff work better for some patients than the other therapeutics available?
I imagine since not all patients are the same, having a choice of meds that can be better tailored to individual patients is a good thing.
That said, Fauci better be cleaner than Caesar’s wife.
Sollozzo : Thirty percent. In the first year your end should be three, four million dollars. And then it would go up.
I am not surprised given the deterioration that has occurred over the last 20 years. As long as they vote Trump.
Treatment? There can be no treatment, only a vaccine approved by Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci can save us all from immediate death, resurrection, and re-death. This virus is so deadly that it kills you at least twice. We are all already dead multiple times. Vaccine only! Because Science!!
I thought this stuff is weak, at best.

...but very expensive.
Wow, you and I seem to share the same luck when it comes to buying stock.
How do you know?
Remdesivir save my wife’s life when she got Covid a few weeks ago. She is highly immunosuppressed due to a transplant she received and was in grave danger. This stuff really worked to knock the virus down. Not a cure, but an effective tool to give patients an edge in fighting off the power and aggressiveness of Covid.
Whats not to like? Zero efficacy and expensive.
Winning!
Exactly. Lousy drug. Little improvement in late phase disease
Kick backs are illegal and I assure you we are not offered $15,000 vacations.
