When I am King, anyone who writes phrases like "The retrospective design of our pharmacovigilance analysis has several limitations..." will face the wall.

A very dodgy way to write, "we fucked up".

Yes. They had clinical trials to use it for Ebola and it wasn't approved because half the people treated with it died.

Of course Remdesivir bad, ineffective or worse. Read Spartacus latest screed or look at the numbers. https://archive.ph/7xcjP

"In Bangladesh, Ivermectin costs $1.80 for an entire 5-day course. Remdesivir, which is toxic to the liver, costs $3,120 for a 5-day course of the drug. Billions of dollars of utterly useless Remdesivir were sold to our governments on the taxpayer’s dime, and it ended up being totally useless for treating hyperinflammatory COVID-19. The media has hardly even covered this at all."

The World Health Organization recommends not using it: https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/who-recommends-against-the-use-of-remdesivir-in-covid-19-patients

"Work on this began on 15 October when the WHO Solidarity Trial published its interim results. Data reviewed by the panel included results from this trial, as well as 3 other randomized controlled trials. In all, data from over 7000 patients across the 4 trials were considered.

The evidence suggested no important effect on mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, time to clinical improvement, and other patient-important outcomes.

The guideline development group recognized that more research is needed, especially to provide higher certainty of evidence for specific groups of patients. They supported continued enrollment in trials evaluating remdesivir.

Updated 20 November 2020
* A conditional recommendation is issued when the evidence around the benefits and risks of an intervention are less certain. In this case, there is a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir. This means that there isn’t enough evidence to support its use."

It kills people and does nothing for Covid. It reminds me of Tamiflu. Completely worthless for the flu, and kills people, but every time there's a flu outbreak governments buy billions of dollars of it, then kill people with it and throw out the remainder when it expires.

Oh look both drugs are developed by the same company.

Ivermectin has worked successfully in India and Zimbabwe:

"Uttar Pradesh beats all other states (except Bihar) with the lowest COVID deaths and infections because of early and preventative Ivermectin use IN ALL FAMILY CONTACTS. This is despite Uttar Pradesh having only a 4.9% vaccination rate, one of the five lowest of all states in India. On the other hand, Kerala ranks in the top five most vaccinated states. Kerala has vaccinated 70% citizens 45 years and older, and almost 56% of its population has had at least one shot. "



LINK 2 - https://newsrescue.com/the-undeniable-ivermectin-miracle-indias-240m-populated-largest-state-uttar-pradesh-horowitz/ key paragraph below:
"As you can see, COVID has been dead in Uttar Pradesh with the exception of a very brief six-week spike in the early spring. Uttar Pradesh likely would have been the first world experiment of what a given area would have looked like had they been taking ivermectin from day one before a wave hit. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of seasonal migrants fled Mumbai and other big cities when the Delta wave hit and all settled back in their villages in Uttar Pradesh, giving them the same spike that every other state got because those people were not on ivermectin. As the AP reported in mid-April, during the surge in Uttar Pradesh, many of these seasonal workers who work half the year in the big cities returned home to their villages. They were likely not taking ivermectin.
But when the state began distributing the drug to everyone, cases plummeted quicker and sharper than anywhere else we’ve seen in the world, and the gains have held for months with record low cases. Dr. Surya Kant Tripathi, head of the Respiratory Medicine Department, King George Medical University, Lucknow, told the Financial Express Online in April that the state began giving ivermectin to everyone who was in home isolation (rather than telling them to do nothing until they can’t breathe, like we do here in the United States)."

Remdesivir was created by Ralph Baric and Baric Labs. These guys are at the center of the creation of SARS Cov 2. They were as instrumental and perhaps more instrumental in the genetic engineering of the covid virus than the Wuhan Institute. RB co-wrote many coronavirus papers with Wuhan scientists. He is one of our very tippy-top mad scientists. He helped create and infect “humanized mice” made from abortion body parts. These are the virologists you should trust goy.

afaik it's a last resort type of medicine. It will fuck you up but it also might help
