"A new study finds that remdesivir, the first new medicine approved for treatment of COVID-19, is not associated with improved survival, but is associated with longer hospital stays for patients."
“The Safety Board pulled remdesivir from the [Ebola] study because it killed more people than any of the other three drugs,” Dr Bryan Ardis said, “remdesivir killed 54% of all the people that got the drug.” And, note that Reuters quoted a study which reported “a” – one – patient with coronavirus who had shown improvement after taking remdesivir.

Check out Dr Ardis' story. Remdesivir overworks the kidneys in some patients leading to fluid retention. The fluid retention causes the pneumonia, Yes, there might be covid pneumonia but giving remdesivir without also administering a diuretic is known to cause fluid buildup in the lungs and elsewhere within the body.
Good question, no Im focused on Remdezivir … and not so much its efficacy or ANY of that shit. The post claimed hospitals are getting a 22% boost in their patient billing for using it. I know for an immutable fact that is total bullshit. I called it out, and the nutjob mob here on GAW came after me. No so different from the woke mob.
Dude you are wrong. It’s not 22% it’s 20% and it is for Medicare patients and maybe Medicaid but that is government funding and the only place the government could add those incentives.
Here is the CMS details - next time use common sense
From the CMS page titled, “New COVID-19 Treatments Add-On Payment (NCTAP)”
CMS issued an Interim Final Rule with Comment Period that established the New COVID-19 Treatments Add-on Payment (NCTAP) under the Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS). The NCTAP, designed to mitigate potential financial disincentives for hospitals to provide new COVID-19 treatments, is effective from November 2, 2020, until the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE).
On August 23, 2020, the FDA issued (reissued on November 30, 2020, and revised on March 9, 2021) an EUA for the use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for treating COVID-19 in hospitalized patients
On October 22, 2020, the FDA approved remdesivir (Veklury) for the treatment of COVID-19 for adults and certain pediatric patients requiring hospitalization
On November 19, 2020, the FDA issued an EUA for the use of baricitinib (Olumiant), in combination with remdesivir (Veklury), for the treatment of suspected or laboratory confirmed COVID-19 in certain hospitalized patients
For eligible cases, the NCTAP is equal to the lesser of these:
65% of the operating outlier threshold for the claim
65% of the amount by which the costs of the case exceed the standard Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) payment (including the adjustment to the relative weight under Section 3710 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
Coding for NCTAP
NCTAP claims are those that are eligible for the 20% add-on payment under Section 3710 of the CARES Act. Eligible claims have both of the following:
ICD-10-CM diagnosis code U07.1 (COVID-19)
ICD-10-PCS codes for remdesivir (Veklury), COVID-19 convalescent plasma, or baricitinib (Olumiant) in combination with remdesivir, as described below
Everyone I know who had COVID and pneumonia but dodged Remdezivir and ventilators didn't end up drowning in lung fluid, they recovered and are still alive now. Hell one got sent home after only two days and this was back in 2020.

Are you confusing remdesivir with regeneron?
Now this is a GREAT fuking reply.

Fuck off. Go away. You are not correct.
Actually, I am 100% correct. These illogical leptons on this thread that dont even know what the fuk the context is blow my mind.
In other words, you do not know shit and are deflecting. I accept your surrender.
