Just look at how great Remdesivir has been for the world. This is from a Washington Post email, so there is no link to post.

According to findings from researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Long Island School of Medicine, two kidney transplant patients were treated with remdesivir after developing covid-19. They were readmitted to the hospital after developing symptoms including fatigue, cough and a fever, despite being vaccinated.
When doctors tested the patients, they identified a gene mutation that wasn't previously present and appeared only after the patients took the antiviral treatment. The mutation made the virus more resistant to remdesivir.
Remdesivir — developed initially to treat hepatitis C — is one of the few antiviral therapies approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat hospitalized coronavirus patients.
“In the future, physicians might also screen for such mutations before making treatment decisions for their most vulnerable patients,” Adriana Heguy, one of the study authors, said in a statement.
