Somewhere in the bashing of Remdesivir which we know is Fauci's drug, it was lost in the shuffle that President Trump took it when he had Covid in October 2020. I argued this with nurse caring for him and I was convinced I was right and that Trump did not take it and I did NOT want my dad to have it after I saw it hanging on his IV bag (I was ticked!). After a simple search though, I found out Trump did in fact take Remdesivir for 5 days. I think hospital staff is only getting objections about Remdesivir from Trump supporters/antivaxxers so they bring up that Trump took it, hoping it will make us feel better (shut us up). So just be prepared for this response, if you're going to object to it.
Anyways I'm not here to argue is effectiveness or danger but I don't want anyone to feel stupid like I did. 🤦🏻♀️ I was still upset they gave it to him. Prior to being admitted for severe dehydration amd weakness from Covid, I had him taking ivermectin, Hcq, zithromax, c, d, zinc and ,nac. He never needed oxygen and recovered nicely.
But when your loved one is in the situation my dad is and they say Trump took remdesivir and you argue that he didn't (like I did), it doesn't help you look like you've done your research. It was almost as if the nurse used that response on me because she was told to. And I fell for it and argued back, looking foolish. When I should have said I don't give an F. That was Trump, this is my dad. We know more now than we did then.
It was the Regeneron that helped Trump and most likely offset the effects of the remdesivir.
Thank you for sharing. I did not know he took it. I still won't allow anyone in my family to ever take it.
I didn't know they gave it to my dad until I visited and saw hit hanging empty on his IV stand. I was ticked! That's when the fight started...and I was confronted with it was one of the drugs Trump took at Walter Reed. My dad did well but I don't credit Remdesivir for it, I think it's the Ivermectin, Hydroxychloriquine (HCQ), Zithromax, C, D, Zinc and NAC I gave home the day he tested positive.
