Mexico will not necessarily follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in approving Gilead Science Inc's antiviral drug remdesivir for use in COVID-19 patients, a top Mexican health official said on Friday.

Mexico’s health regulator Cofepris has already twice denied approval for the drug with a “non-favorable” opinion, deputy health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell told his regular nightly news conference. The FDA approved remdesivir on Thursday, making it the first and only drug approved for the disease in the United States.

The World Health Organization’s Solidarity drug trial last week concluded remdesivir has little or no impact on a patient’s chances of surviving COVID-19, and a top WHO scientist on Friday recommended the FDA consider all available evidence.

This is telling. pretty sad when Mexico’s government does more to protect their citizens than US.. early trial flops, some befits seen in some.future trials. Lack of diversity in trials, but sure FDA approves it for the Administration share holders ..

The people wouldn’t be able to afford it anyways

Doesn't mexico have its own fda? Or cartel....why would another country use our guidelines?

O.

The most effective drugs for the treatment of new crowns, hydroxychloroquine and dexamethasone.

'The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Solidarity drug trial last week concluded remdesivir has little or no impact on a patient’s chances of surviving COVID-19'

Since Ku Klux Don put his political operative in charge at FDA they are as likely to kill people as help them, maybe more. The FDA, CDC have lost their credibility for decades.

ohm!!

Meaning?

The coming winter can be a horror.

thanks

That’s it. Now that these Republicans have turned this country into a Banana Republic; where Mexico 🇲🇽 has higher safety standards. . . They’re Party needs to be called the Banana Republican Party.

Something fishy as to why they won't approve ...maybe because it was not properly tested..

Gilead is a big donator to Trump.

Most of this thread seems super... culty.

So they are ignoring the WHO finding Remdesivir is a waste of money?

Welp, that should be a red flag for Americans. I’m not taking anything until Dr. Fauci says it’s safe. I trust him, none of Trump’s unqualified sycophants.

Smart. I would not trust anything coming from the Trump admin

Will FDA Heed Its Outside Experts' Advice On COVID-19 Vaccines?A panel of doctor and scientists raised questions about the expedited regulatory path the Food and Drug Administration is considering for COVID-19 vaccines. Times of widespread health exist. Without an FDA. Or it's outside experts. When people did more of the preventive & curative antibacterial, antiviral & antifungal actions. Fact things we don't learn. If a company disguised them internally first, who'd notice? Fastest vaccine development in history, thank you Trump! Safety is over-rated. Especially for a treatment we are planning to give to every living human.
