The antiviral medicine remdesivir from Gilead Sciences failed to speed the improvement of patients with Covid-19 or prevent them from dying, according to results from a long-awaited clinical trial conducted in China. Gilead, however, said the data suggest a “potential benefit.”

A summary of the study results was inadvertently posted to the website of the World Health Organization and seen by STAT on Thursday, but then removed.

No, I have seen Drs who think it helps. One has dealt with over 1000 Covid patients in two states and his hospital in NY is buying up the available pills

This was news last Thursday when the market Jumped, after hours. Market only reacted to the story as positive, when the last weeks story was very negative. As in 1 in 4 serious side effects and no real benefit. We are witnessing market manipulation. Expect no real treatment for China Flu, except what we have now, for a year. Time to go with herd immunity.

Is this the same China and WHO that lied about COVID-19 so that 60,000 Americans would die?

That China?

That WHO??

It’s an expensive flop.
Developed for Ebola, it flopped at that.
Now it has flopped at this.

What has been working is the inexpensive HCQ + zinc, but there’s no big money in that.

But don’t worry, Bill’s vaccine will work 100%.

It will probably also make you infertile.

$GILD Because the study was stopped early because it had too few patients, she said, it cannot “enable statistically meaningful conclusions.” However, she said, “trends in the data suggest a potential benefit for remdesivir, particularly among patients treated early in disease.”

@jimcramer
Jim, why did China file for their own patent for Remdesivir back in January if the drug had no efficacy?

NIH panel on COVID-19 decided not to recommend hydroxychloroquine.

But 9 panel members disclosed financial ties to $GILD, the maker of remdesivir, its competitor.

Also, their financial disclosure was strange >> https://defyccc.com/gilead-remdesivir-hcq/
