Remdesivir's worthlessness is a representative indictment of American public health

COVID-19 fully demonstrated the corrupt incompetence of American leadership

 

And by way of minor (but tasty) example, you will recall that Anthony Fauci (in April 2020) emphasized how great remdesivir was going to be in treating COVID-19.

 

He joined American public health agencies, generally — as well as the World Health Organization — in condemning the use of cheap generic drugs that have been (often successfully) repurposed to fight SARS-CoV-2 infections early in the coronavirus illness.

 

In light of all that, remedesivir's now proven worthlessness is darkly amusing:

 

 

In this cohort study of [2344] US veterans hospitalized with COVID-19, remdesivir treatment was not associated with improved survival but was associated with longer hospital stays.

 

Routine use of remdesivir may be associated with increased use of hospital beds while not being associated with improvements in survival.

With remdesivir, if you are destined to die of COVID-19, you will — but you will be at the croaking process longer and more expensively. Plus, you'll be taking up hospital space that someone else might (more efficiently) use.

 

If you are not destined to die, you won't — but your hospital bill will be massively higher, than it would have been had you had not been dosed with remdesivir.

 

 

That's a win-win for Corporate Avarice . . .

 

. . . as well as corrupted US public health and Big Government, isn't it?

 

Of this upside-down state of governance affairs, Daniel Horowitz stated the obvious:

 

 

After 62 studies, 32 of them randomized controlled trials, establishing ivermectin as an effective treatment and an even more effective preventative to keep people out of the hospital in the first place, our government refuses to endorse its use and Big Tech continues to censor it.

 

They claim they need more studies. Yet not a single randomized controlled trial showed remdesivir to be effective before they dove in headfirst and the NIH made it the only approved antiviral treatment for COVID.

 

[A]fter 16 months of research by doctors on numerous helpful antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as more effective corticosteroids, the government has ensured that we have not advanced one iota in treating this virus.

 

This is truly criminal and probably the gravest scandal of COVID.

 

Contrast this [for example] to ivermectin, which is available for $25.

 

A Cochrane-standard (the highest level review) meta-analysis of ivermectin against COVID-19 by Bryant-Lawrie, which has been published in the American Journal of Therapeutics, concluded that ivermectin reduced fatality in hospitalized patients by 62%.

 

[And used early in the infection process,] the study found that "ivermectin prophylaxis reduced covid-19 infection by an average 86%."

Criminal and on purpose.

 

 

The moral? — US culture is based upon parasitizing the American public

 

We ordinary folk are guinea pigs to be bled, impoverished, unremittingly propagandized and (frequently enough) murdered — so as to advance the economic and power-wielding positions of American and World elites.

 

Censorship works to keep the lid on. People won't revolt against what they don't see.
