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 see that I didn't save the report, sadly, but recall a physician reporting that remdesiver had been a part of trials with Ebola and that there was something like a 40-50% chance of developing major organ failure so they discontinued including it in the trials.....so I suppose one can look at it the opposite way and say there is a 50-60% chance that it won't cause harm. I agree that I wouldn't want to use it!
It was a disaster with ebola!
