I'm not understanding. If remdesivir actually worked, it would be like saying, "nausea? No thanks I'd rather die."

Like, what? Can you explain to me in what world slight nausea for a few days is worse than death?

Im not talking about just the nausea its also headaches vomiting rashes and these side effects could possably make your already existing covid symptoms worse

I think you don’t understand when this drug would be used. These people are dying, this isn’t like a claritin.

No, trust me I understand that but you haven’t provided any logical reason why these would. Where is shortness of breath in this list of side effects? Cough? Upper respiratory infections?

This occurs when the medication is infused to fast. Slowing down the infusion rate alleviates these infusion related reactions, and when they do occur they are short lived and stopping the infusion will resolve them in the large majority of cases. This IS a problem, but it's easily manageable and avoidable.

If you care to read more, you can go to section 6 here, you can see much more information about known side effects, including how often they occurred. https://www.fda.gov/media/137566/download

This...

Also...a treatment to reduce recovery time is not a cure and I'm sure many will misread this as a vaccine
