You aren't kidding. Back in August, when my elderly, double-vaxxed parents had a bad case of the Delta COVID, and their doctors had offered them NOTHING to relieve their suffering and potentially save their lives, I offered to drive to their house with my personal stash of a certain horse drug, but my mom said, "What??? That's poisonous!" I checked the FDA & CDC websites, and sure enough, as you note, that's pretty much what they said about the drug. I could only face-palm and hope the parents would change their minds if they got worse. Fortunately, my parents didn't go to the hospital, so they didn't have a chance to be actually poisoned with Remdesivir, and they survived.
Also, I love your tongue-in-cheek humor, John Roark!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep up the ridiculous humor. On the Remdesivir, it's outrageous that the CDC was recommending it despite it's much worse safety record than antivirals like Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. I hope people start to wake up and realize they can't trust the FDA or the CDC on these things - one of the themes of my Substack is that what we are told is "the science" and what it actually says are often very different.
Japan is using it, as well as an influenza drug called Favipiravir which they were already prescribing for influenza. But of course, if there are alternative treatments available then the FDA can't issue an emergency use authorization for vaccines.

Thanks. Isn't Japan using it now , on Covid, too? Any other countries using it?

It's still banned in Australia (unless you have scabies). So hard to understand why, unless there is a fix in...
I'm considering a new career in drug smuggling - pharmaceutical instead of recreational.
Ah! A get-famous-quick scheme?
