Study: Remdesivir Does Not Reduce COVID MortalityBy Ralph Ellis
October 19, 2020 --
A large study sponsored by the World Health Organization found that remdesivir doesn’t help hospitalized patients with COVID-19 survive and doesn’t even shorten the recovery time of those who do survive."
"
The WHO-sponsored study was conducted from March 22 to Oct. 4 and involved 11,330 patients from 405 hospitals in 30 countries. Patients were given remdesivir and three other drugs singly or in combination."
"
But the WHO-sponsored study said remdesivir and the other drugs just didn’t work."
“The unpromising overall findings from the regimens tested suffice to refute early hopes, based on smaller or non-randomized studies, that any will substantially reduce inpatient mortality, initiation of ventilation or hospitalisation duration,” the study said.
