On April 29, 2020 Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the leads on the coronavirus Task Force for the White House on Covid-19, said that there is “clearcut evidence” that Remdesivir works for Covid-19, and that it is now the new “standard of care.”

Here are the results of another study that questions whether this is true or not.

A randomized, placebo-controlled Chinese trial found that 15% of those with Covid-19 given remdesivir died versus 13% of those given a placebo.

In other words, people given remdesivir were more likely to die than those given a placebo.
