In the ABC series “Dr. Odyssey”, Dr. Max Bankman, played by the actor Joshua Jackson, hails the effectiveness of the Covid drug Remdesivir, saying that it allowed him to survive “against all odds.”
What’s the harm in TV drama which makes no claim to be factual? Is it possible that by reinforcing the dominant Covid narrative in 2020-2021, ABC is doing harm?
WorldTribune.com reported in March 2023, the FDA-approved drug “may have killed thousands of Americans.”
Attorneys who are representing surviving family members and former patients who suffered issues after being treated with Remdesivir have sent cease-and-desist letters to ABC, demanding the immediate removal of content centering around the drug from the pilot episode of “Dr. Odyssey”.
Remdesivir, brand name Veklury, was approved by the FDA for emergency use against Covid in May 2020. By October 2020, it had received full approval. Dr. Anthony Fauci pushed the drug as a Covid treatment from the early stages of the pandemic.
BrokenTruth TV, one of the first to report on the story, noted that ABC, coming off its $15 million defamation settlement ordered paid to President-elect Donald Trump, “now faces a new and potentially more damaging controversy” over the portrayal of Remdesivir “as an answer to prayers for a COVID-19 cure.”
New York-based law firm Myer and Scher LLP, in a letter to Disney-owned ABC, states:
Remdesivir has been determined to be unsafe and ineffecQve by a number of trials/studies including by the WHO. Remdesivir/Veklury is a nucleoQde analogue RNA
polymerase inhibitor. It can cause acute kidney injury, liver damage and mulQ organ failure among other things, symptoms of lungs filling with fluid, kidney poisoning and other organ damage that are known side-effects of Remdesivir/Veklury. In short, Remdesivir has been demonstrated to cause more harm than good. (Doctor Reveals Remdesivir is the Real Cause of COVID-19 Maladies). Moreover studies have been published showing a causal connecQon between Remdesivir and the death of heart cells, heart aVacks, and bradycardia with worsening QT interval.
BrokenTruth TV noted in its Dec. 20 report: “ABC has until December 31, 2024, to comply, or the attorneys will file a lawsuit covering an array of charges from fraud to human rights violations, intending to delve into ABC’s financial relationships with pharmaceutical entities.”
The allegations:
• Misleading information: The legal team claims that ABC’s portrayal will lead to patients being coerced or defrauded into taking the drug under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) without understanding its risks, including severe side effects like kidney and liver damage, potentially leading to death.
• WHO’s recommendation: This accusation is particularly poignant following the November 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) panel’s recommendation against using Remdesivir for hospitalized COVID-19 patients due to no evidence of improved survival rates.
• Legal and ethical violations: The attorneys argue ABC’s actions might breach multiple federal laws on fraud, misinformation, and ethical standards of informed consent.
• Nuremberg code violations: In a clarifying statement to Broken Truth, the attorneys representing Remdesivir victims stated: “the actual experimentations are what is a violation of the code. What abc is doing may make them complicit in those experiments.”
• Possible FCC sponsored content violations The attorneys also included the FCC in their complaint, possibly indicating potential FCC violations under 47 U.S.C. § 508 and § 317 regarding undisclosed sponsorships or payments for content.
The attorneys demand that ABC:
• Remove content: Edit or remove all mentions of Remdesivir from “Dr. Odyssey”.
• Financial reparations: Return any profits from promoting Remdesivir.
• Transparency: Disclose all agreements related to the drug’s promotion.
• Victim compensation: Establish funds for those harmed by the drug after being influenced by the show.
• Public apology: Issue an apology across all ABC networks, acknowledging it could mislead viewers and reveal any undisclosed sponsorships.
