Organ failure can be caused by a lot of things. While remdesivir was pretty useless, waste of money, and the liquid form was to be excluded in kidney failure, it is not the poison that killed everyone. Many remdesivir patients were able to leave the hospital through the front door.

For one, the pharmacists were supposed to talk doctors down from the drug in cases of the patient having COVID over 7 days, kidney or liver impairment. This is because people had already learned it was a mess for the ultra dehydrated Ebola patients who had preexisting organ failure. Two, the people “dying of COVID” generally had numerous comorbidities. Three, applying the ventilators right away (initially with the idea of protecting staff), was a bad move. Isolating patients from visitors was the worst move, in terms of patient outcome. Second worst was denying the drugs that were more effective.
