Lawmaker demands formula used by federal government to ration remdesivir

Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Texas Democrat who chairs the House Ways and Means health subcommittee, said on Wednesday that the government's"distribution of remdesivir seems akin to winning the lottery -- a random stroke of luck rather than a medically-informed decision."Doctors face 'nearly an impossible situation' as they ration remdesivirHis comments came in a letter addressed to US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, whose agency is distributing the drug.

He also appeared to acknowledge the government's early missteps with the drug."The administration heard that on the first couple of distributions -- supplies were not always getting to hospitals most in need," Azar said.Testifying before Congress on Tuesday, FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said:"I think we can all agree upon the fact that we've learned a lot of lessons from the remdesivir situation.

Very good demand from congresdional health committee and the entire world need to know the formula used by your federal gov to ration remdesivir, an experimental drug shown to speed recovery, 👀👀👀

'Shown to speed the recovery' Where is this shown? Know what actual doctors who used something report success with in speeding the recovery? Hydroxychloroquine and zithromax.

What formula? jaredkushner can’t organize his sock drawer how in the world would he be able to coordinate this? We know he screwed up the vents and masks!

Why look into that? Trump already gave us the cure. half a cup of bleach & 50cc of Lysol. lmao

I thought CNN said this stuff doesn't work?

Этому можно верить?

100% they distributed it to his millionaire and billionaire 'friends'

Why? So they can sell it to China ?

Most go to friends of Trump.

Shouldn't the medical community as a whole be sharing information. It doesn't matter who develops and delivers the cure and vaccine. God gave us science not for notoriety but to protect us.

Greta said it was ok.

I know! 3 parts water to one part H2O. 🤣
