While several studies, including a final report from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have concluded that remdesivir in coronavirus patients can speed the recovery process, a new study published in JAMA says it may not shorten hospital stays for all.
The study, which focused on U.S. veterans who were hospitalized for COVID-19, concluded that remdesivir was not associated with improved survival, but was associated with longer hospital stays.
The drug was granted emergency use authorization by the FDA for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in May 2020, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America and NIH currently recommend it for patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19. However, the drug’s effectiveness has been called into question previously after a World Health Organization (WHO) panel advised against using it.
The advisory came after the drug was shown to have "little or no effect" during the agency’s multi-country Solidarity Trial.
The new study, which used data from the Veterans Health Administration on 5,898 patients who were admitted across 123 hospitals, suggests that remdesivir may actually prolong hospital stay for some patients.

MORE DETAILS FROM THE REPORT:
Among the study participants, 2,374 received remdesivir, while 3,524 did not. Remdesivir recipients and matched controls were similar in age – around 66 years old – predominately male, and required similar levels of care. About 20.7% of those who had received remdesivir were admitted to the ICU versus 19.1% in the control group, and 5.9% needed ventilator support versus 3.8% who did not.
The research team found that remdesivir was not associated with reduced mortality risk, and that those who had received it actually had a longer median time to discharge when compared with matched controls. The patients who received remdesivir averaged about six days in the hospital versus three days for those who had not.
“In this cohort study of U.S. veterans hospitalized with COVID-19, remdesivir treatment was not associated with improved survival but was associated with longer hospital stays,” the researchers concluded. “Routine use of remdesivir may be associated with increased use of hospital beds while not being associated with improvements in survival.”
I believe this was known early on. Very early on.
But hey, someone gets money for it. Who? Who was involved in the development of Remdesivir? Who?
Who?
Who?
A friend, who was hospitalized with Covid-19, unknowingly received remdesivir and is suffering its side effects.
Why do you think the FDA just approved it for home use?
I made a thread weeks ago about our employee who was hospitalized with COVID. She started coughing blood AFTER that idiot quack doctor told us that it’s “not FDA approved” and prescribed remdisvir.
We told this staff we are taking her home and some Freepers mailed us ivermectin pills (TY Freepers) to save our employee.
They even make it sound like we “cant” get her out of the hospital. Until I had enough and said “it’s like you dont want us to leave here, did I hear you correctly?” They even deliberately took HOURS to make us sign a waiver to get her out of the hospital.
She’s recovered and fine. Hospitals are murder houses.
You just follow the money.
If money is involved it’ll lead you to the problem every time
I don’t give a crap what the FDA approves or doesn’t approve they have proven themselves to be TOTALLY incompetent!! I will stick with supplements and ivermectin the fact that the FDA refuses to recognize or even mention this drug PROVES to me it works
FDA approves use of antiviral drug remdesivir as an outpatient therapy for people with covid

But gee, the Biden FDA is doubling down on this toxic drug by pushing it into nursing homes and infusion centers / while cutting access to monoclonals

Fauci is wrong again.
I faintly recall president Trump received remdesivir when he was sick with covid. I could be wrong on this, my memory is no longer my strong suit.
Just saw an interview of Kristi Noem and she was bragging that they are following the same protocol for treatment of Covid 19 for over 2 years. Yet 41% of Covid PCR test positive. What rock have these politicians been hiding under. Are they so narrow minded that other treatments are available that are saving lives in other countries around the world. Several eminent Virologists are openly talking about other effective medical treatments that are inexpensive and proven to work without side effects. Big admirer of Ms. Noem but this is ridiculous.
This is what my 84yr old dad was given
He’s doing fine now, was in bad shape when we took him in
Whether his dr was BSng or not, he said would treat my dad same way he would his own

Anne Quiner’s Husband Dies in Texas Hospital After Legal Fight to Get Him Transferred
By Matt McGregor January 22, 2022 Updated: January 23, 2022 biggersmaller Print
Anne Quiner’s husband Scott died in an undisclosed Texas hospital on Jan. 22 after Anne sought legal counsel to have him transferred out of Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, where doctors planned to take Scott off life support.
“We got him too late in the process,” Quiner’s lawyer, Marjorie Holsten, told The Epoch Times. “We should have gotten him sooner. He was malnourished, dehydrated, and 30 pounds underweight.”
Holsten said that doctors in Texas reported that they were shocked by Scott’s depleted condition when he finally arrived.
Doctors at Mercy Hospital told Quiner they were taking Scott off his ventilator because they believed he would not recover due to what they said were his “destroyed lungs from COVID pneumonia,” and that their attempts at decreasing sedation only caused him pain.
“Anne is devastated,” Holsten said.
Quiner had told The Epoch Times that she began to question Mercy Hospital’s medical plan for Scott, who was admitted for COVID-19 complications in November, when they refused alternative treatments while keeping him on sedatives and the opioid fentanyl.
Her petitions for alternative treatments, as well as to keep Scott on a ventilator, had been met with contempt, Quiner said.
In addition, Quiner had been experiencing discrimination from the hospital because of Scott’s unvaccinated status, she said.
She had received several random phone calls from people stating they “hope Scott dies; he should have gotten vaccinated,” Quiner said.
Quiner said some doctors at Mercy Hospital expressed disdain for his unvaccinated status, as heard in one phone call Quiner recorded in which a doctor stated, “Unfortunately, if we could turn back time and he had gotten the vaccine, then he wouldn’t be here.”
The recording of this conversation that Quiner uploaded on YouTube has now been removed for what YouTube said was a violation of community guidelines.
Quiner has not disclosed where in Texas Scott was transferred because of the phone calls she had received and the negative media reports, she said.
Scott contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in October and was hospitalized at Mercy Hospital in November.
When doctors notified Quiner that they would be taking Scott off the ventilator on Jan. 13, Anne contacted Minnesota State Rep. Shane Mekeland, who then contacted Stew Peters of The Stew Peters Show.
Quiner went on his show to discuss her situation, then Peters and his audience called Mercy Hospital by the thousands, Quiner said, which led to the hospital shutting down its phone lines.
“Our audience flooded the hospital and Frederickson & Byron Law Firm (the firm that represents Mercy Hospital) with calls, making them all aware that the world was watching,” Peters told The Epoch Times previously.
The Stew Peters Show put together a group that coordinated with a doctor to take Scott’s case at the hospital he was transferred to on Jan. 15.
Holsten filed a motion for a temporary restraining order that prevented the hospital from taking Scott off the ventilator.
Mercy Hospital then hired its own law firm that objected to the temporary restraining order on the basis that Holsten and Quiner’s position isn’t “supported by medical science.”
Because of this, Mercy Hospital requested that the court issue an order authorizing the hospital to take Scott off the ventilator.
The judge sided with Holsten, issuing the order based on the standard that irreparable harm would result if not issued, Holsten said.
Both Holsten and Quiner said that doctors in Texas were “horrified” by Scott’s condition when he arrived.
“One doctor said he didn’t know how Scott made it out of that hospital alive,” Quiner said. “He looked at his chart and said, ‘I can’t believe the heavy sedating drugs they put him on.’”
Allina Health, the hospital system encompassing Mercy Hospital, previously told The Epoch Times that it “has great confidence in the exceptional care provided to our patients, which is administered according to evidence-based practices by our talented and compassionate medical teams. Due to patient privacy, we cannot comment on care provided to specific patients.” It wished “the patient and his family well.”
After Scott’s arrival in Texas on Jan. 20, Holsten said that Scott became responsive and began “making tremendous progress.”
Holsten said the Quiner family expressed gratitude “for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.”

I think he got Regeneron
I think the WH physician shielded him from this
They knew from the drug trials this was a toxic, dangerous drug
Trump got monoclonals plus what else we don’t know
State Secret if he got HCQ or IVM
His symptoms were serious but his disease was caught and treated early
You cannot get it at home unless a Dr comes there to transfuse you
It’s IV only
But they will use it now in care homes without hospitalization
Will increase deaths, imo
