Then why is Remdesivir being discussed and used worldwide even though the WHO warns against it and clinical efficacy cannot be proven? One reason may be that the US pharmaceutical giant GILEAD is behind it, has the best connections to the US administration, which is still in office, and thus has a say in the public discourse. e.g. Joseph Grogan, a member of Trump’s Corona Task Force heading the department responsible for pricing the new drug, was previously a lobbyist for Gilead Sciences:
"The special orphan designation, was given to Remdesivir despite hefty support by the government for the development of the drug.
