Claim: The intravenous antiviral drug remdesivir (sold under the logo called Veklury) has been deapproved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has failed its trials.
After talking about Elon Musk and his enmity with World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab, the video posted via Facebook user “Elon Musk Zone” on December 12 revived false claims about the COVID-19 pandemic. He claimed that the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, such as central attacks and blood clotting, were hidden from the public in the first place, but claimed that they turned out to be safe, before mentioning the existing false claim that was verified.
Why we reviewed this: The Facebook video making the false claim has over 173 reactions, 37 comments, and 5100 perspectives at the time of writing. The video did the fake to show how Musk would have been needlessly persecuted compared to other billionaires like Bill. doors
The Bottom Line: The U. S. FDAhas not disapproved of the use of remdesivir to treat COVID-19 patients. It revoked its emergency use authorization when the New Drug Application (NDA) for remdesivir was approved on April 25. Remdesivir is still indexed in the U. S. FDA database. UU. de drugs approved under NDA 214787.
Conditional: On November 20, 2022, the World Health Organization had opposed the use of remdesivir to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients because there was inadequate evidence that it improved patients’ condition at the time. But the advice was updated on April 22, 2022.
WHO’s “living guidance” for COVID-19 remedy recently includes conditional advice for remdesivir to treat patients with severe COVID-19. The WHO, however, has not yet presented the drug for critical patients with COVID-19. – Pola Regalario/Rappler. com
