Glass Particles Prompt Another Recall of Remdesivir, the Controversial Drug Hospitals Used to Treat COVID Patients

An investigation by Gilead, maker of remdesivir, confirmed the presence of glass, according to the company recall notice posted on the FDA website warning the contaminated vials can cause stroke and “even lead to death.”

remdesivir bottles and word "recall"

Pharmaceutical giant Gilead recalled one batch of its COVID-19 antiviral drug Veklury, the brand name for remdesivir, after glass particles were discovered in vials of the drug, Newsweek reported.

A company investigation, prompted by a customer complaint, confirmed the presence of glass, according to the company recall notice posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website.

Gilead distributed the batch, identified as Veklury lot No. 47035CFA across the U.S. beginning on July 16. The batch isn’t set to expire until November 2025.

If a product containing glass is injected, it may result in localized swelling or, “the glass particulate can potentially travel, through the blood vessels, to various organs and block blood vessels in the heart, lungs or brain which can cause stroke and even lead to death,” the company warned in the recall notice.

Gilead said it is informing distributors and customers via a letter sent to UPS Next Day Air. The letter advises facilities that have the recalled drug to stop using it and return the vials to the company following the instructions in the letter.

Gilead said it has not received any reports of adverse events related to this lot.

The company didn’t say where the lots were manufactured or by whom and did not respond to The Defender’s request for comment on those questions.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Similarly to the fact COVID tests and gene therapy injections should ALL be recalled and destroyed with a public apology, Remdesivir has been nothing but a major problem since it was rolled out as part of the ‘Fauci Death Protocol.’ 

For more:

Going back to 1997, Donald Rumsfeld chaired the Board of Directors at Gilead and after 2001 he held share packages valued at $5-25 Million. Gilead originally developed Tamiflu. George P Shultz, US Secretary of State also was on the board. He sold stocks at a value of more than $7 million. CA governor’s Pete Wilson’s wife also sat on the board.

“‘I don’t know of any biotech company that’s’ so politically well-connected [as Gilead],‘ Andrew McDonald, of the analyst firm Think Equity Partners, told Fortune.” (Source: “Virus Mania, How the Medical Industry Continually Invents Epidemics Making Billion Dollar Profits At Our Expense”)

  • Approximately $70 million in U.S. taxpayer funding began Gilead’s partnership with the U.S. Army, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop remdesivir. Initially for treating Ebola, it failed to show benefit and was shelved. If remdesivir is used to treat COVID-19, Gilead shareholders, not the taxpayers, will profit.

Please remember:

  • There were more than 500 deaths in the first year of remdesivir usage.
  • There have been 20 deaths in 19 years of ivermectin usage.
  • The FDA, spurred by “multiple” reports of ivermectin ‘poisoning,’ lied when it put out a post on it causing “serious harm, seizures, coma, and even death”.  When the author inquired on how many is “multiple,” she was told FOUR.  Yet, the FDA had no trouble approving remdesivir which has caused far more deaths.
  • CDC also bad-mouthed ivermectin and pushed the “calls to the poison control center” narrative. The problem is they gave no data to support this claim.

Agency Capture & Corruption: Conspiracy to Silence Online Dissent & ‘First Do No Harm’

Recently a plethora of articles have exposed how American healthcare is corrupt, broken, and lethal. The US pays the most for worst health outcomes.  There are numerous reasons for this including agency capture and corruption.  

Neither party has made any concerted effort to reign in the corruption of corporate campaign funding and do what is sensible, financially feasible and morally correct to improve Americans’ quality of health and well-being. ~ The Townsend Letter article by Gary Null, PhD and Richard Gale

Proof of this fact is the recent court decision on a more than 70 year controversy over the harms of fluoride in drinking water.  How many have been harmed in this manner over the decades?

The Vast Pharmaceutical Conspiracy to Silence Dissent Online

Millions of dollars were spent to weaponize the public against all of us

A Midwestern Doctor

Sep 25, 2024
Story at a Glance:
  • There has been a coordinated campaign to attack and defame anyone who has spoken out against the COVID-19 response. This has primarily been restricted to social media (e.g., getting people deplatformed) but it has also been weaponized in real life (e.g., getting medical licenses revoked).
  • This coordinated campaign was the result of a “non-profit” known as The Public Good Project (PGP), which was actually directly linked to the pharmaceutical industry. The PGP used the industry funding it received to defend industry interests.
  • Vaccine safety advocates were able to get into the group where these campaigns were coordinated. There, they discovered numerous public figures working hand in hand with healthcare workers to descend like a hive of bees on anyone “promoting misinformation.” Likewise, we learned that the most belligerent doctors we keep encountering on Twitter belonged to these groups.
  • Some of the influencers advancing PGP’s message through “Shots Heard” (and its sister United Nations initiative “Team Halo”) were hucksters who faked their own credentials. My overall impression from looking at everything was that this group operated in a very similar manner to many of the sleazy internet marketing operations I’ve seen in the past. Fortunately, the public appears to be seeing through what they did.
  • Earlier this year we exposed them. Unfortunately, their abhorrent tactics continue and recently have been aimed towards Angela Wulbrecht RN because she advocated for a patient with a widely publicized vaccine injury.  (See link for article)

AGENCY CAPTURE: Purdue at SCOTUS, George Watts v. DoD

Former CDC director acknowledges “Kennedy is right;” Sackler family gets break at Supreme Court, DoD judged to have sovereign immunity.

John Leake
Sep 26, 2024

Article Excerpts:

Today’s theme is AGENCY CAPTURE—something that RFK, Jr. has been writing about for years. A couple of days ago, former CDC director Robert Redfield paid Kennedy the following compliment in an editorial he penned for Newsweek.

Kennedy is right: All three of the principal health agencies suffer from agency capture. A large portion of the FDA’s budget is provided by pharmaceutical companies. NIH is cozy with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies and its scientists are allowed to collect royalties on drugs NIH licenses to pharma. And as the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I know the agency can be influenced by special interest groups.

Speaking of agency capture, fellow Substack author Sasha Latypova just reported the appalling news that George Watts v DOD case dismissed by federal court claiming “sovereign immunity”

For readers unfamiliar with this story—a perfect expression of President Eisenhower’s warning about the undue influence and power of the Military-Industrial Complex—the 24-year-old college student George Watts, Jr. died (autopsy confirmed) of vaccine-induced myocarditis. His family sued the Department of Defense for propagating the fraudulent claim that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is safe. A federal court just dismissed the lawsuit under the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

In other words, when it comes to matters of so-called “public health,” injured citizens will have one hell of a time getting justice from U.S. agencies. Uncle Sam is above the law in this domain. (See link for article)

Recently a train of articles have come out on how research and medicine have been hijacked and are completely being driven by an unholy alliance with Industry, government, and University research facilities.  Besides being unethical, which should be troublesome on its own, it causes patient suffering.  A recent example of this is a study which tested “how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions”.  They took the best performing messages and tested them on a nationally representative sample, and then proceeded to use this crafted propaganda  and weaponized it against an unsuspecting public to guilt them into taking an experimental gene therapy injection.  This also proves that the anger towards the unvaccinated was planned, intentional psychological manipulation, all on the taxpayer’s dime.  The University study even required a ethics exemption by the University.  So if ‘the powers that be’ can conduct a study to see which pressure points work best and then carefully craft mountains of propaganda funded by the taxpayer to turn family and friends against one another, ponder what else “science” can do.

I could go onto infinity with this.

Take away: the corruption is complete.
There is no transparency or truth in mainstream media, science, medicine, public health, or scientific journals.

Resolving Persistent Spike Protein Syndrome

https://townsendletter.com/resolving-persistent-spike-protein-syndrome/

Resolving Persistent Spike Protein Syndrome

Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD
Orthomolecular Medicine News Service

6/1/23

Article Excerpts:

As the acute cases of COVID have continued to decline, the prevalence of the Persistent Spike Protein (PSP) syndrome has continued to increase. The spike protein is that part of the COVID pathogen that attaches to ACE2 receptors throughout the body and permits the entry of the entire virus into the newly infected cell. There appear to be no cells, tissues, or organs in the body that are completely spared from this PSP attack once enough of it has been introduced into the body.

The persistent presence of the spike protein has been shown to be secondary to the inability to completely resolve a bout of COVID (chronic COVID or long-haul COVID) as well as the spike protein exposure from mRNA inoculation(s). And as more time has passed, the PSP syndrome following one or more mRNA shots has emerged as the most common reason for PSP, especially following a booster injection. Not surprisingly, the likelihood of developing a PSP syndrome relates directly to the total amount of spike protein exposure, and the amounts delivered by repeated inoculations substantially exceed the amounts that result from incompletely resolved cases of COVID.

The goal of any therapy designed to eliminate a chronic spike protein presence in the body needs to address its presence in the blood, its presence on the many ACE2 binding sites throughout the body, its presence inside the cells, and the mechanisms that allow it to replicate itself and keep it from being eliminated completely in the body. It has been shown that the sickest of PSP patients have intact spike protein circulating in the blood.1 

Multiple autopsy studies have revealed the presence of spike protein throughout the body, without any particular areas being spared.2,3

By itself, the spike protein is also toxic. As all toxins ultimately inflict damage by oxidizing biomolecules needed for normal metabolic function, any effective PSP protocol needs to include significant antioxidative capacity in order to repair damaged (oxidized) biomolecules. Spike protein has been shown to induce inflammation (acute oxidative stress) even without resulting in viral infection.4

Bio-Oxidative Therapies

While any therapy that can eradicate an infectious agent must involve its destruction via enhanced oxidation, the most prominent of these therapies involve the appropriate application of:

  • Vitamin C (multiple modalities)
  • Hydrogen peroxide (multiple modalities)
  • Ozone (multiple modalities)
  • Ultraviolet blood irradiation
  • Hyperbaric oxygen

While still not widely appreciated, these bio-oxidative therapies have been curing acute infectious diseases for very many years now.  (See link for article & references)

________________

**Comment**

Dr. Levvy states that a good protocol for PSP should include:

  • Ozone autohemotherapy, followed by
  • IV vitamin C (50 to 150 grams daily); or any oral form in the highest doses possible
  • IV or oral hydrocortisone (25 to 50 mg) in the IV or with the first oral dose of vitamin C
  • Ultraviolet blood irradiation if available
  • Hydrogen peroxide nebulization
  • Methylene blue, 25 to 50 mg two or three times daily
  • Proteolytic enzymes (bromelain, NAC, nattokinase)

Benefits of Ozone on Mortality in Patients with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Benefits of Ozone on Mortality in Patients with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Small Studies Found Benefit Yet Adjunctive Therapy Not Advanced to Large, Multicenter Trials

Sep 17, 2024

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

I attended an integrative medicine meeting recently and one of the speakers said that ozone was one of the most important tools in his practice. While this is a very broad topic with > 4000 papers listed in the National Library of Medicine with the MESH term “ozone therapy,” Hu et al briefly summarized:

“Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms and a component of the atmosphere in nature, which has a strong oxidizing action. Ozone has a high-energy, variable molecular structure under normal temperature and is quickly and spontaneously decomposed into O2 and a single oxygen atom (O). It has strong activity in oxidation and a strong bactericidal effect on bacteria and viruses.10,11  Ozone therapy inactivates bacteria by disrupting their cell envelope through oxidation of phospholipids and lipoproteins, inhibits fungi growth, damages the capsid of viruses, and upsets the reproductive cycle by disrupting the virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation.12  Oxygen-ozone therapy causes an increase in the rate of red blood cell glycolysis, causing the stimulation of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, which leads to an increase in oxygen released to the tissues.13”

Innovative physicians, from many parts of the world trialed ozone in hospitalized patients some of whom had 4-6 weeks in the hospital with acute COVID-19. Shang et al performed a meta-analysis of very small studies…. (See link for article)

Benefits of ozone on mortality in patients with COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Wenli Shang1, Yan Wang2, Guizuo Wang1, Dong Han3

Abstract

Background: The Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, and the death toll continues to surge. Ozone therapy has long been used in the treatment of a variety of infectious diseases, probably through its antioxidant properties and the supply of oxygen to hypoxic tissues. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the efficacy of ozone on mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: A systematic search was made of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov, without language restrictions. Prospective controlled trials on treatment of COVID-19 with ozone, compared with placebo or blank, were reviewed. Studies were pooled to risk ratios (RRs) and weighted mean differences (WMDs), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: Eight trials (enrolling 371 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Ozone therapy showed significant effects on mortality (RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.17-0.85; P = 0.02), length of hospital stay (WMD -1.63 days, 95% CI -3.05 to -0.22 days; P = 0.02), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positivity (RR 0.07, 95% CI 0.01-0.34; P = 0.001).

Conclusions: Ozone therapy significantly reduced mortality, PCR positivity, and length of stay in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Ozone therapy should be considered for COVID-19 patients.

Remdesivir: What You Should Know

Dr. Vernon Coleman: Remdesivir – What You Must Know

“Please share this article with everyone you know. And please send or show copies of this article to every doctor and nurse you can reach. “

Lioness of Judah Ministry
Aug 29, 2024

By Dr. Vernon Coleman

Remdesivir is described as a `broad spectrum antiviral drug’. It is a RNA polymerase inhibitor which disrupts the production of vital RNA. It is said to prevent the multiplication of SARS-CoV-2.

Remdesivir was introduced for the treatment of covid-19 patients who were in hospital suffering from covid-19, with or without pneumonia. It is still being widely used. I have been researching and writing about drugs since 1970 and I am appalled at the way that it now appears that in some countries some hospitals and doctors (and even nurses) are now routinely giving remdesivir to patients – particularly elderly patients – who do not have severe signs and/or symptoms of the flu or a flu-like viral infection. You can form your own opinion on whether remdesivir ever has a value by reading the following information.

1. Remdesivir is officially used to treat patients who have symptoms of covid-19 or who have covid-19 according to the discredited PCR test which no one with any functioning brain tissue should use. Anyone who uses a PCR test to diagnose covid-19 is a moron and you can tell them I said that. Please see my two recent articles (on http://www.vernoncoleman.com) entitled `PCR: How the PCR test has killed millions’ and `The PCR test can kill you’. A positive PCR test does NOT prove that you have covid-19, dandruff, chilblains, covid-19 or anything else.

2. Remdesivir seems to be very, very popular with very, very stupid doctors who seem to think it is a panacea for all illnesses. If their Mercedes or BMW breaks down they probably give the car a shot of remdesivir.

3. Remdesivir is given directly into a vein. Doctors who tell you that giving drugs via a vein is an entirely safe procedure are stupid. No medical procedure is entirely safe. Giving drugs by injection into a blood stream requires skill and experience to avoid dangers.

4. The brand name of remdesivir is Veklury. (Brand names always begin with an initial capital but generic names are all lower case.) If you are being given Veklury, you are being given remdesivir.

5. Remdesivir should be prescribed by a doctor and given under a doctor’s supervision. (Nurses may wear stethoscopes round their necks, but they are not doctors.)

6. Remdesivir must be given slowly over a period of between 30 minutes and 120 minutes.

7. Hospital patients are usually given remdesivir once a day for up to 10 days.

8. Patients not in hospital are usually given remdesivir once a day for three days.

9. Patients who are given remdesivir MUST have regular blood tests to check that their livers are functioning properly. If a doctor gives remdesivir without doing regular liver function tests he or she is dangerous and, in my opinion, should have their medical licence revoked.

10. Liver function tests MUST be done before remdesivir is prescribed. Any doctor who does not do liver tests before starting treatment should be sacked and have their medical licence revoked.

11. Severe renal toxicity has been noted in animal studies. (Some doctors claim that animal studies are irrelevant. I agree. But why do them if they are irrelevant?)

12. No one should be given remdesivir if they are allergic to it.

13. Anyone who has ever had liver disease or kidney disease should inform their doctor if he/she suggests prescribing remdesivir.

14. Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should tell their doctor. The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says that the safety of covid-19 antiviral treatment during pregnancy has NOT been established.

15. Remdesivir may interact, to your disadvantage, with other prescription medicines, with over the counter medicines, with vitamins and with herbal products. Doctors who prescribe remdesivir must ask patients about all the medicines they are taking.

16. Remdesivir has received a number of reviews on drugs.com, and of the reviews listed on 24th August 2024, 19.38% or reviewers had a `positive experience’ but 47% had a `negative experience’.

17. According to the journal `Science’, in October 2020,`The World Health Organisation’s Solidarity Trial showed that remdesivir does not reduce mortality or the time covid-19 patients take to recover.’ And `A second, smaller placebo-controlled study of remdesivir on hospitalised covid-19 patients in China, published online by The Lancet on 29th April 2020, found no statistically significant benefit from the treatment – and the antiviral surprisingly had no impact on levels of the coronavirus’. I find it difficult to see why the FDA, the EU and the UK’s drug regulator all approved remdesivir, though they appear to have done so without worrying too much about the research showing that it was pretty useless.

18. Side effects which may occur when remdesivir is injected include: fast, pounding heartbeats; trouble in breathing; wheezing, shivering, itching, sweating, facial swelling, severe headache, a feeling of being about to pass out. Side effects subsequently may include nausea and abnormal liver function tests.

19. NICE reports that there are twelve drugs with which remdesivir inter-reacts. Any doctor prescribing remdesivir should know of these interactions – which are listed on the NICE website. So, for example, the manufacturers advise that patients avoid taking remdesivir with chlorquine, hydroxychloroquine and phenytoin. I cannot put a link to the NICE website because such links are not allowed. The list of side effects below was NOT taken from the NICE website. (Since it is a public sector body and paid for by taxpayers, you’d think that NICE would be delighted to share information about drug dangers wouldn’t you?)

20. Side effects which can occur in patients taking remdesivir may include:

Back pain
Bleeding
Blistering
Burning
Chest tightness
Chills
Coldness
Cough
Dark coloured urine (a possible sign of liver problems)
Difficulty in swallowing
Discolouration of skin
Fast heartbeat
Feeling of pressure
Fever

Flushing
Headache
Hives and itching
Infection
Inflammation
Light coloured stools (a possible sign of liver problems)
Lumps
Nausea and vomiting
Numbness
Pain
Puffiness or swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes, face, lips or tongue
Redness

Scarring
Seizures
Skin rash
Soreness
Stinging
Stomach pain, continuing
Swelling
Tenderness
Tingling
Trouble breathing
Ulceration
Unusual tiredness or weakness
Yellow eyes or skin (a possible sign of liver problems)

You will be relieved to know that not all patients would be expected to have all of these side effects, though a number of these side effects are classified as `common’.

Please share this article with everyone you know. And please send or show copies of this article to every doctor and nurse you can reach. Send copies to your GP and your local hospital.

Unlike NICE I like to share the information I obtain, and unlike YouTube and the mainstream media I believe that the truth should not be censored and must be shared as widely as possible. I suspect that this article will be suppressed and hidden by Google et al. And I am banned from all media (mainstream and online) so please help share this article.

NOTE
My first two books `The Medicine Men’ and `Paper Doctors’ dealt with dishonesty and corruption in medicine. `The Medicine Men’ dealt with the relationship between doctors and the drug industry. `Paper Doctors’ dealt with medical research. Both were published in the 1970s and attracted much praise at the time (though not from the pharmaceutical industry or the medical establishment). You can purchase them both from the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com

The Defender just came out with two articles on how ‘huge’ financial incentives led hospitals to tragically use COVID treatments that killed patients, which included remdesivir and ventilators.
