Remdesivir appears to save lives if administered BEFORE things get bad (usually around day 8). This applies to high risk patients.

https://www.foxnews.com/health/fda-acts-expand-treatment-covid-patients-mild-to-moderate-disease

In my experience, very few doctors care about things administered BEFORE things get bad. For example, monoclonals were available long before the average doctor cared enough to recommend them, in high risk patients before things got bad. For example, even if a home test kit was showing negative, a PCR would be needed to try to see if there was the beginning of covid.

And one's covid test would have to come back BEFORE the patient's symptoms worry.

It should not be necessary to say this, but as the article points out, this is no substitute for vaccines.

Exactly why the pandemic had to be in basically year 3 before someone ran this study, I will never know.

Healthcare is a business here, there's no money in preventing these diseases before they get bad. I've become very anti-doctor/pharmaceutical over the years, try to do as much self care as I can. I got the vaccine but I don't ingest any pills or medicines unless I absolutely have to because you're just putting toxins in your body. I let my body go mano a mano with illness and I have come out on top so far.

Dude. No offense, but take a wander through r/HermanCainAward. Your post is screenshot 1 of 8 where it fades from "I don't trust doctors" to "OAN told me...." to "Pray for my dad, he's sick" to "As some of you know, my dad died from Covid".

I don't watch OAN, Fox, MSNBC or any other news network. I made my opinion by watching mostly cancer stricken relatives. The ones that went in for chemo suffered long, drug out deaths and suffered greatly whereas the ones that accepted their fate and let themselves go naturally suffered much less. My grandfather died of lung cancer and he did his own taxes the day before he died. My grandmother spent the last 8 months of her life as an incoherent vegetable. I've also had some bad personal reactions to medicine and have found that for me personally, self care works better.

I can't speak to that site but one doesn't have to be an anti vax/right wing nut job to think that the big pharma/insurance/hospital complex doesn't necessarily always have the patients best interest at heart.

It never hurts to be skeptical.

My career is right in the middle of how healthcare is set up systematically in this country and the only nut jobs would be the ones that are not skeptical. The supply/demand curves and financial incentives are all out of wack. "Doesn't necessarily always" being they key, as there are of course many counter examples of doctors that are doing the best they can on behalf of their patients (although they are often limited in what they're allowed to do anyway).

For sure.....but that bit at the end about being a big strong man and fighting the virus without medication is peak misinformation nonsense.
