Coalition of Over 30 Attorneys Representing Over 1,500 Remdesivir Victims Blast ABC with Cease and Desist Over Dangerous ‘Miracle Cure’ Claim in New Show
by Jim Hᴏft Dec. 21, 2024
A coalition of over thirty attorneys representing more than 1,500 individuals harmed by the failed Ebola drug Remdesivir (also marketed as Veklury®) has sent a scathing cease-and-desist letter to ABC.
The letter demands the immediate removal of content from the pilot episode of ABC’s new medical drama, Doctor Odyssey, which portrays Remdesivir as a “miracle cure.”
The legal demand obtained by The Gateway Pundit accuses ABC of promoting the drug through misleading and dangerous claims, potentially influencing viewers to trust and pursue treatments that have caused severe harm, including acute kidney injury, liver damage, and even death.
It should be noted that in November 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients, citing evidence suggesting it had little or no effect on mortality or other important outcomes.
In September 2022, lawsuits were filed against three California health care providers on grounds they used failed Ebola drug Remdesivir on patients without obtaining informed consent, resulting in the wrongful deaths of several patients
The attorneys, led by Jamie Scher, Stephen Scher, and Michael Hamilton , argue that their clients, many of whom suffered life-altering injuries, were coerced into using Remdesivir under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) guidelines.
They claim these individuals were denied informed consent due to misinformation and the deliberate withholding of critical risk factors.
The letter outlines a series of demands, including:
Immediate Removal: Dub or delete any mentions of Remdesivir from Doctor Odyssey.
Financial Transparency: Disclose any agreements between ABC and the drug’s manufacturer, Gilead Sciences.
Victim Compensation: Establish funds for individuals harmed by Remdesivir after viewing the misleading content.
Public Apology: Broadcast an apology across ABC-affiliated stations, warning viewers about the drug’s risks.
Failure to meet these demands by December 31, 2024, will result in legal action, according to the attorneys.
