Gilead Falls After Phase 3 Remdesivir 10-Day Trial Failed To Reach Significance

One week after the New England Journal of Medicine found mixed results in its pivotal study of Remdesivir in covid-19 patients which "found no marked benefit from remdesivir for those who were healthier and didnโ€™t need oxygen or those who were sicker, requiring a ventilator or a heart-lung bypass machine" and only "significantly helped those on supplemental oxygen", concluding that "given high mortality despite the use of remdesivir, it is clear that treatment with an antiviral drug alone is not likely to be sufficient", moments ago Gilead announced its own results from a Phase 3 trial of Remdesivir in patients with moderate Covid-19 and which, similarly, appeared to disappoint because while the press release was quick to point out that "patients in the 5-day remdesivir treatment group were 65% more likely to have clinical improvement at Day 11 compared with those in the standard of care group," this was not relevant, and what did matter is that "the odds of improvement in clinical status with the 10-day treatment course of remdesivir versus standard of careโ€ฆ failed to reach statistical significance."

Two 'Unusual' COVID-19 Features Convincing Scientists It Was Man-Made

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/health/two-unusual-covid-19-features-convincing-scientists-it-was-man-made

 

Two unique features of SARS-CoV-2 are convincing a growing number of scientists that it was man-made, and not the result of natural evolution, according to the Daily Telegraph.

First, the virus binds more strongly to human ACE2 enzymes than any other species, including bats.

 

Second, SARS-CoV-2 has a "furin cleavage site" missing in its closes bat-coronavirus relative, RaTG-13, which makes it significantly more infectious - a finding we reported in late February.

 

According to Israeli geneticist, Dr. Ronen Shemesh, the Furin site is the most unusual finding.

 

"I believe that the most important issue about the differences between ALL coronavirus types is the insertion of a Furin protease cleavage site at the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2," he said. "Such an insertion is very rare in evolution, the addition of such 4 Amino acids alone in the course of only 20 years is very unlikely."

 

Shamesh, who is working on a treatment for COVID-19, believes the novel coronavirus was most likely created in a lab, and did not evolve in nature.

 

"There are many reasons to believe that the COVID-19 generating SARS-CoV-2 was generated in a lab. Most probably by methods of genetic engineering," he said, adding "I believe that this is the only way an insertion like the FURIN protease cleavage site could have been introduced directly at the right place and become effective."

"This is fucking lunacy โ€” conspiratorial madness of the worst kind โ€” but it's delivered by a Serious Obama Official and a Respected Mainstream Newscaster so it's all fine," Intercept journalist Glenn Greenwald fired off in response to a CNN segment blaming "foreign interference" for the still raging George Floyd protests and riots.
