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.
i thought trump was given regeneron, not remdesivir
He took both. The Whitehouse doctor discussed his treatment and it was reported widely. Easy to find online by searching Trump took remdesivir. Remdesivir is an antiviral. Regeneron is monoclonal antibodies.
Yes I think hospital workers could be seeing only Trump supporters objecting to Remdesivir and so they remind us that he took it hoping that will shut us up.
My response to that is. Omg they could’ve killed Trump!! Thank God he was one of the less than 50 % who weren’t killed by it. Also. Remdesivir is an antiviral. It’s possible it helps some/doesn’t do as much damage if taken early enough. But once you’re really sick, which Trump was not, the virus is not the issue. It’s the pneumonia. And it will not help at that point.

Remdesivir is what they tried with ebola and it did not work out. They are now doing experimentation with "Covid19" and also finding it is not that effective.
