Thanks... From the article: "From November 20, 2018, to August 9, 2019, a total of 681 patients were enrolled and underwent randomization at Ebola treatment centers in Beni (335 patients), Butembo (243 patients), Katwa (46 patients), and Mangina (57 patients)."
That suggests that these were ebola-positive patients already at ebola treatment centers.
Remdesivir failed miserably. BUT, it is not stating that the Remdesivir killed them. I don't doubt that it expedited the death and increased the death rate, but it's not as explicitly stated as I would like to see, or how it's summarized in that Twitter clip.
I just don't want to be accused by someone smarter than me about this stuff that I fell for a talking point that was a misleading summary.
My understanding is that Remdesivir can cause the kidneys to shut down. Then fluid can collect in the lungs and a patient can't breath. We can't discount the financial incentive to prescribe Remdesivir and deploy the ventilators.
I don't doubt that. In fact, I am familiar with how R caused kidney failure among Covid patients, and the docs all thought it was covid (or they were told it was) yada yada.
Remdesivir is NOT GOOD. In fact, it is VERY BAD. I know!
My point is that this study and headline is misleading.
You’re 100% right, your comments should be the only ones on this post. The guy in the video is spewing fake news that delegitimizes the truths we speak.
You're exactly right in your interpretation. The study results do not show that remdesivir killed them, but rather than remdesivir failed to stop ebola virus from killing them.
Even then i wouldnt say it failed miserably. It performed similarly across the board to zmapp, within 3%.
The study wasnt apples to apples either. The REGN group was 12% smaller, so the group sizes werent even the same, and 10% of the other groups were later found out to have malaria.
