Original Note:
The claim remdesivir treated patients are dying at a higher rate is not supported by scientific evidence. Trials show mixed results for effectiveness and improving patient outcomes, but they have not shown the antiviral worsens outcomes or kills patients at a higher rate. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/feb/10/nicole-sirotek/no-hospitalized-covid-19-patients-werent-killed-re/ https://www.factcheck.org/2022/04/scicheck-clinical-trials-find-no-increase-in-mortality-among-covid-19-patients-treated-with-remdesivir-contrary-to-viral-claim/
