We have this from the World Health Organization (WHO): “There is no medication to prevent or deal with coronavirus illness (COVID-19),” and NO Liability for Pharma.
Nonetheless, physicians around the globe, frequently with the approval of their governments, are dealing with corporations that have speculative or “off-label” antiviral drugs.
Here are some names of the medications: Chloroquine, Remdesivir, Ribavirin, favipiravir, lopinavir; ritonavir, hydroxychloroquine, Sofosbuvir, corticosteroids, oseltamivir, zanamivir.
They all have negative results.
From druganddevicelawblog.com, March 18th, 2020, “We Finally Have Something To Say About COVID-19“:
” On March 17th, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (” HHS”) released in the Federal Register a statement’ providing protection regarding corporate liability, lawsuits for those taking part in ‘activities connected to medical countermeasures versus COVID-19.’ This statement is now released at 85 Fed. Reg. 15198 (HHS March 17th, 2020).”
” HHS said that ‘any claim of loss brought on by, developing of, connecting to, or arising from the manufacture, circulation, administration, or use of medical countermeasures’ … This extends not just to COVID-19-fighting drugs, but to ‘items or innovations planned to boost the usage or impact of drugs, biological items like [vaccine], or anything used in the pandemic’ … The only exception is for ‘wilful misbehavior’.”
Are you getting the picture? No, OK then let us say that: A client is provided an antiviral drug and passes away?
- No claim can be submitted, against the manufacturer or hospital.
- Anybody related to the drug, from the maker to recommending physician, is exempt from ANY liability.
Let’s take one example of a drug, Chloroquine.
It’s authorized for the treatment of malaria, and now some physicians are actually using it on their COVID clients.
