PSA: Every time the subject comes up, I feel it necessary to remind everyone that the brand name for remdesivir is VEKLURY. Do not let any medical "professional" fool you or a loved one into taking this because it's somehow "better", or "different."
EXACT. SAME. DRUG.
(and btw, it's 'paxlovid', not 'paxlovir.' Prob just a typo.)
Thank you for this reminder. They tried fooling us when my dad was hospitalized. I honestly think the nurses even thought it was different. I asked them to find out and they came back and told me I was right. Veklury is Remdesivir.
Translation: the old vaccine won't help you, natural immunity won't help you, you need the new vaccine and our proven drugs (remdesvir and paxlovir).

There’s another drug related to remdesivir that they are trying to authorize now- GOHIBIC (vilobelimab). Linked tweet with more info: https://x.com/realdefender45/status/1693807284705489365?s=46
They just never quit, do they? Thanks for the update; I'll add it to my notes.
