WHY ?
Remdesivir is an expensive drug
The drug is administered over 5 or 10 days. A five-day course of treatment costs around $2600 per person.
So for a hospital with hundreds of Covid patients, that would amount to millions of dollars for one antiviral.
That price could be cost-effective if remdesivir saved lives,
but it was useless, and known to be useless, before , during and after.
