In 2 Trials, Failed anti-African Ebola Remdesivir Flops also on COVID Virus, but Lobby pushes FDA
In 2 Trials, Failed anti-African Ebola Remdesivir Flops also on COVID Virus, but Lobby pushes FDA

*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).

Before the end of 2009, France and Germany will take strong initiatives to open "new Horizons" needed by Europe and the World, going well beyond the current Crisis' management, anounced French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angie Merkel, reassuring that both a judgement on Lisbon Treaty by nearby Karlsruhe German Federal Court, and the forthcoming National Elections in Germany would confirm their capacity to act.
They were replying to Press questions in Berlin, after key-regional elections on Sunday, where Merkel's ChristianDemocratic party kept everywhere a strong 1st and won the possibility to forge a New Majority with Liberals at the largest of 3 Landers : Saxony (4 millions inhabitants), while its main competitor, the Socialdemocrat party fell to unprecedented lows : Tackled by the small "Linke" (left) party in Saarland (1 million inhabitants), it became even smaller than it in Saxony and Thuringen (3 million inhabitants), where SPD arrived only third. While its usual partners, the "Greens" also fell down, contrary to CDU's new partners, the FDP Liberals, who go up.

- "At any case, at the end of the year (2009), if things go as scheduled, we shall take strong initiatives, showing that Europe needs a Franco-German axis, as well as the World, even if it never excludes other" countries to join, replied Sarkozy to a question if France and Germany will revive the "European dream", by "relauncing the EU motor" for the Future, with actions going further than the mere management of the global crisis, (as it was done fex. in the Past with the creation of the "Euro" Monetary zone, etc).
- "I am convinced that the Franco-German friendship must be constantly nourished by New Projects", he added."There are many areas of cooperation where we intend to take, very soon, some Franco-German initiatives, which will allow to open more Horizons" to the EU, Sarkozy stressed.
But if "we don't speak about that now, it's only in order to avoid interfering in important elections coming in Germany", he observed. However, "we have already started to consider the Future with the (German) Chancellor, and what we can do in order to honour our predecessors". "We are already speaking about that, and we are preparing things". "I am working very well together with Mrs Merkel, and I wish that it goes on", Sarkozy concluded.

- "It's important for EU's credibility that France and Germany advance forward together", stressed Merkel from the outset. "Don't worry about Germany's capacity to undertake initiatives" with France, she added. "France and Germany will be perfectly able to make proposals" for the EU.
- "After-crisis" plans must be prepared, meanwhile, with measures "advancing progressively", Merkel anounced. And, for the short term, we must deal also with EU Citizens' dismay since they feel that it's a Scandal for some in the Financial Markets to be paid with excessive "Bonuses", etc, she agreed with Sarkozy.
- "Abuses in financial markets must stop", stressed also Sarkozy. Backing Merkel's announcement that France and Germany call for an EU meeting to forge "a crystal-clear European position" in view of the G-14 Summit at Pittsburg, he warned that "everyone will have to undertake his responsibilities, in front of World's Public Opinion. particularly those who don't want to make the same effort of regulation as France and Germany".
Moreover, "Global Trade cannot be correctly dealt, without taking into account also Environmental and Social rules", Sarkozy added, referring to recently expressed positions against Unfair Competition via Environmental and/or Social Dumping, (See earlier "EuroFora"'s publications).
Such moves are obviously linked to the need to ensure at least an elementary respect for Human Rights by Third Countries, (f.ex. exploitation of Children's work, etc) in order to avoid, precisely, any such Social Dumping.
- "EU has Values, protecting Human Rights and Human Dignity", and "it cannot close its eyes" in front of grave violations, particularly "Torture and/or killings", added, indeed, Sarkozy.
Thus, "the time comes, where decisions must be taken". But, in case of "Sanctions", "all International opinion should be convinced of the need to take action", he observed.
Expressed on the occasion of recent developments in Iran, the same principles should logically apply also to other similar cases, including fex. that of Hundreds of ECHR judgements' condemning f;ex. Turkey for grave crimes, (as Torture, brutal Killings, Enforced "Disappearances", Destruction of Family Homes, harassments and oppressive violations of Freedom of Speech, etc).
Meanwhile, questioned on (EU Commission's chair) Barroso's bid to succeed himself for a second mandate, they both expressed a "wish" or a "feeling" that "EU Parliament"'s various political Groups might fix a date for decisions "during September". However, is he is endorsed before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, it will be legally necessary to re-vote anew for a full term of office afterwards, according to EU Legal Experts, revealed recently in Strasbourg the experienced former President of EU Parliament's Constitutional Committee, German Socialist MEP Jo Leinen. And Germany will not vote for Lisbon Treaty's ratification but only "on September 8 and 18", revealed Merkel, ( i.e. after EU Parliament's plenary session in Strasbourg).
- Therefore, "for EU Commissioners' appointment, it's too early yet, because we must wait for the ratification of Lisbon Treaty" by all 27 EU Member countries, including naturally Ireland's Referendum on early October, said to "EuroFora" the influential President of EU Parliament's largest group of MEPs, Joseph Daul, expressing, however, the hope that a controversial deal with the head of the Socialist Group of MEPs, Martin Schultz of Germany, might hold for Barroso alone, at a forthcoming vote due to fix the Strasbourg plenary's Agenda.
But MEPs reportedly just "postponed" for 1 week all their previously scheduled group meetings (See : http://www.euractiv.com/en/future-eu/barroso-unveil-summer-homework-week/article-184825 );
However, while the choice of a new EU Commission's President by EU Parliament is supposed, according to many MEPs' wish, take place according to EU policy issues, paradoxically, this would mean that Barroso's bid would pass before even the anouncement of France and Germany's "initiatives" for EU's "new Horizons"...
