Re: drugs getting approved that don't work, I'll forever be shocked that the poison called "remdesivir" was approved by the FDA (and the EU) as a "first in class" drug. Everything I've read about it suggests it 1. doesn't work against whatever disease it's thrown at and 2. has a high likelihood of dangerous side effects, including death.
And with practically zero (or in fact zero) SAE's and all kinds of disease-slaying potential, LL awaits further trials, further testing, further reviews...
