- The antiviral drug remdesivir, brand name Veklury, is approved for use against COVID-19 despite research showing it lacks effectiveness and can cause high rates of organ failure

- Beaudoin received all the death certificates in Massachusetts from 2015 to 2022, finding 1,840 excess deaths from acute renal failure from January 1, 2021, to November 30, 2022, which he believes may be due to remdesivir
- A study published in The Lancet found “no clinical benefit” from the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients
- The U.S. government pays hospitals a 20% upcharge on the entire hospital bill when remdesivir is used
When my Dad was hospitalized in late ‘20, he did not have covid. After a week in their care they said they tested him & it was positive. I questioned at the time about using the hydroxy combo or ivermectin, but got lectured on how that could be DANGEROUS! They were going with Remdesivir. He was gone in 3 days. The hospital was desolate at the time, they probably needed the government bonus incentives. Change my mind.
