*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- Astonishingly, Even if Two (2) Different New Trials (one inside China and anOther Outside) in fact Show that the Old and Failed, initially anti-African Ebola, Drug of "Remdesivir", appears to make a Flop also on Nowadays' CoronaVirus, Nevertheless, Company Pressure and Grossly Misleading Presentations in several US Establishment's Medias added to a Controversial Technocrat, currently seem to Push USA's Food and Drugs' Administration (FDA) to practically rumber-stump that Controversial Expensive commercial product, in a Hurry, reportedly Starting from the Next Few Hours !

Both these 2 Recent Studies were Supported by Remdesivir's Company "Gilead", but Both appear, in Substance, InConclusive, Despite UnSubstantiated Claims for the Contrary, on the 2nd one, Too Hastily MisPresented by some, (See Infra).

In Fact, the Chinese Tests' results, Explicitly Critical, faced attempts to be Muzzled, while the 2nd Study was presented by some in a blatantly Misleading way, (i.e. as if it would show a ...Triumph for Redmdesivir, while in Fact, it rather Confirmed its Failure to Save Human Lives, and/or appeared still much More UnCertain/UnTrustworthy than the 1st one)...

Indeed, even the "World Healh Organization" (WHO) was Obliged to Withdraw a Publication at its WebSite which resumed the Negative Conclusions of that 1st Study in China !  

But, soon Afterwards, it's Even the Prestigious Review "The LANCET" which went on to Publish those Critical Results of that China Test, in FULL TEXT...

Meanwhile, However, several US Establishment's Medias inundated the Web with repeated Quotes of some Astonishing Claims made by Controversial Technocrat Dr. Fauci, (Notorious for having Criticized US President Trump, against the popular HCQ Anti-Virus Treatment, a cheap Competitor to expensive Remedesivir), now reportedly Boasting that "Gilead" Company's 2nd Study would ..."Proven" (sic !) that Remedesivir "can Block (re-sic !!) this Virus", and "this is Opening the door to the Fact that we Now Have the Capability of Treating (re-re-sic !!!)", as he said.

Nevertheless, Facts are Facts, and they All Point to the Contrary :

- That 2nd Study (Mis-Presented as Triumphaly Positive : Comp. Supra), in Fact, does Not even Claim that Remdesivir might, eventually, Save More Human LIVES, than any Other routine Treatments against Coronavirus ! Instead, it seems that it Focuses ONLY on a Controvesial and Different Issue about the TIME (Number of Days) used by various Treatments...

But, that Different matter, had Already been Noted, even by the 1st, Chinese Critical Study (Comp. Supra), and finally Dismissed, as "Statistically Not Significant", "Requiring confirmation". At Any Case, it's Obviously NOT that matter which might "Stop" the currently Galoping Massive Tragic Deaths caused by the Virus, (not even according to that 2nd Study, Mis-presented as Triumphaly "positive" by some).

- The 1st Study, made in China, in a Crystal-Clear way, Denounced the Fact that "Remdesivir was NOT associated with ...Clinical Benefits", and "has Not been proven effective for treatment of patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)".

- On the Contrary, its Results even Noted about ...+1,2% MORE DEATHS with Remdesivir, than withOut ! On the Contrary, the 2nd Study, made Elsewhere, reportedly found -3% LESS Deaths with Remdesivir, but this "has Not reached statistical significance", even Dr. Fauci reportedly Acknowledged. 

-  While Neither of those Studies hasN't yet been submitted to Peer Review, However, that 1st Study in China has been Published (initially by WHO, and Afterwards by "The LANCET", But the 2nd Study, made Elsewhere, has Not been Published anywhere (except from a Gilead's brief Press Release)...

+ In Addition, that China Study found that + 6,5% More Patients treated with Remdesivir, than those who took only a Placebo,  faced "ADVERSE EVENTS" which made them ..."Stop early" these Tests, and Go Away...

Among the "Most common" such Adverse Effects" of Remdesivir, it's mainly "Nausea and Acute Respiratory Failure", which were Cited by Gilead itself. (In fact, that Drug has been Tested at least Since 2015, initially as a former Candidate against African Virus of "Ebola", in vain)...

237 Hospital Patients at that 1st Study in China, and More reportedly at the 2nd one, Astonishingly Dispersed ... 68 Hospitals, accross Various Other Locations, Both in the USA and Many Other Countries in the World (so that, Obviously, it becomes quasi-Impossible to ensure Equivalent Conditions between the Remdesivir and Placebo Groups),

could Not Hide, Moreover, the wider Fact that, apparently, People doN't run to Test Remdesivir at all, but, rather, prefer to Go Away : F.ex., +2 Other Tests, previously Scheduled in China, were, Finally ...Abandoned, because almost Nobody was found Willing to Participate as Guinea Pig to them !

Such Facts inevitably Remind also a Previous "Flop" that Remdesivir notoriously Faced Already in the Past, when, after having been Initially Presented as a Drug against African "EBOLA", it was Finally Rejected by Congo as "significantly LESS Effective than (Other) Treatments". +Meanwhile, among the 2 Last Patients reportedly still remaining at a Congo Hospital for Remdesivir Trials, at least 1 (i.e. ...50%), suddenly Run Away...

--------------------------

 + Moreover, while one of its Stronger Competitors, the HCQ (HydroxyChloroQuine, Together with Azithromycine antibiotic, and Zinc vitamin), currently Costs Only ...5,20 €uros per parcel, and is Free of any CopyRights, (so that practically Everybody may Produce and Sell it to the Market), on the Contrary, Remdesivir would have a Much Higher Price (some reportedly speak about ...800 €uros per Treatment !), and it would be Subjected even to Exclusive "Rights" held by Gilead Compagny, with a quasi-Monopole on its Production...

Remdesivir is a Drug Based mainly on Artificialy provoked Genetic Manipulations, which was Financially and Politically Backed by the Former US President Barack Hussein Obama (a "Socialist"/Liberal of now Opposition Dems Party) since 2015, through an US Army outlet, Initially against "Ebola", But this Failed and it was Dropped on 2019 (Comp. Supra). On the Contrary, promising HCQ-based Treatment (Comp. Supra), is reportedly seeking to Reduce Viral Charge and, particularly, to Strengthen the Natural Human Immunity protection system.

Controversial Dr Fauci, (one among the Members of White House's Anti-Coronavirus Team of Experts), had been Initially Hired at USA's Federal Administration during Former "Socialist/Liberal Dems' Party POTUS Jimmy Carter's era, (while being also reportedly Familiar with controversial Millionaire Soros, Bill Gates Sr., and the Bilderberg circle).  Since then, he has been reportedly continuing Research for a "Vaccine" against HIV, withOut Finding Any, since the 1980ies :  i.e. During about 40 Years  !

Fauci's latest Prognosis for an eventual Vaccine against the CoronaVirus, currently is, at the Best, around 1,5 Years...(And he had Already Singled out and Praised "Remdesivir" as a "Promising"Drug, as Early as Since 2 Months Ago, since the very Beginning of March).

Meanwhile, notoriously, Too Many Thousands of People Die from that Virus, Every DAY, (while FDA has Not Yet really Authorized the World-Popular HCQ).

Facing a 70% Abstention threat in 2009 Election, EU endorses EuroFora's idea for Citizens' debates on crucial EU decisions !

- Different views on "Europe's Future", should be debated among Citizens at June 2009 EU Elections, thanks to political Parties' "Manifestos", says EU Parliament's Report


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
A main idea, initiated and promoted by EuroFora's founders since 1997: the vital need to develop European Citizens' democratic right to actively participate in multilingual debates on EU decisions, is formally endorsed by the EU from 2009 !

The move is a key attempt to overcome "catastrophic" Polls which warn that only ...30% of Citizens are ready to vote in the forthcoming June 2009 EU Election !  This was revealed by EU Commission's vice-president, in charge of Communication policy, Margot Wallstrom, during a "hot" meeting of EU Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education, during the December 2008 Strasbourg session.

Wallstrom faced criticism, but also suggestions from various MEPs, naturally worried by Abstention threats which herself found even "worse" than in 1999 or 2004...

A Report on "Active Dialogue with Citizens",examined at the same time, presented some useful practical tips, on "facilitating Interviews"; etc., but also a  potentialy important call to "incorporate the conclusions of ...debates...into (EU) policies, and take into consideration the expectations that Citizens have of the EU when deciding". An amendment even implies that Citizens' participation in debates on EU decisions is a democratic "Right".

More importantly, it finds that  a Debate "on the Future of Europe", (as French President Nicolas Sarkozy has asked since 2007), would be a good idea " for the 2009 European parliamentary Elections", because "clarifying the political differences between the EU political parties would help citizens to identify themselves with, and choose between various concepts", for which "all parties (should) present their Manifesto".

A "Joint political declaration on Communicating Europe in Partnership", co-signed by "the European Parliament, Council and ... Commission", confirms that they "attach the utmost importance to improving communication on EU issues", by "enabling European citizens to exercise their right to participate in the democratic life of the Union, in which decisions are taken as openly as possible and as closely as possible to the citizens, observing the principles of pluralism, participation, openness and transparency".

This should "enable Citizens to exercise their right to express their views and to participate actively in the public Debate on European Union issues", while also "promoting the respect of multilingualism". In this regard, EU confirms its "wish to develop synergies with national, regional and local authorities as well as with representatives of Civil Society".

    It's since 1997 that a group of EuroFora's founders have officially presented a pioneer Project (then called "EIW", for "Europe in the World"), which aimed to develop Strasbourg's "Polyphonic music", by providing "Interactive information", on "main issues ... during the Decision-making process of European Organizations which engage in Transparent and Public Democratic Debates"

    This should be done, inter alia, by "exploring the potential of New Communication Tools (mainly Internet)", as well as classic-form debates, the 1997 EIW pioneer project's anounced in its "Synopsis". It was formally "accepted for evaluation" by EU Commission in Brussels in order to be examined for a grant in the framework of the "Research/Technology/Development (RTD) Programme in the field of Information Technologies", then called "ESPRIT", as a "Best Practice Pilot Project".

        But the vital, urgent Political need for EU to search new, efficient ways to reach the People and interact with European Citizens, was really felt in Brussels and elsewhere only after the unprecedented in History 1999 and 2004 Majority Abstention in EU Elections, followed by 3 "NO" in Referenda in France, the Netherlands and Ireland, on 2005 and 2008...
    In this New Political Landscape, we prepared a new, actualised and more developed version of our initial idea, in a simplified and more efficient form, thanks also to a large Experience accumulated during many years of EU/CoE/UNO Press work and Multi-lingual debates, with the New project "EuroFora" :

    On 2006 we presented in Public its main lines during Questions/Replies that we raised at two Press Conferences by EU Commission President, Jose Baroso, and mainly EU Commission's vice-President, in charge of Communication policy, Margot Wallstrom, together with EU Parliament's vice-president, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, in Strasbourg, (Videos available), and we reminded it at various brief contacts with Commissioner Wallstrom in 2007 and 2008.

    Meanwhile, a new Text was also presented for "EuroFora" Project mainly to certain Political and other personalities, at European, National or Regional/Local level, mainly in 2007, but also in 2008..

    Now, after the unexpected 2008 Irish "NO", and before the 2009 EU Elections, which are due to be of exceptionally crucial importance for Europe's Future, the moment has obviously come to launch that project, progressively, but in real practice.

    Whoever really cares for Europe and its Citizens is welcome to join, in one way or another. Only anti-European, anti-democratic, obscure or ignorant groups might oppose or attempt to "steal" and deviate the main idea.

    But European Citizens, incited by enlightened political leaders, are those who will finally write the real History.

Polls

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?
