I think the AI's verdict is too quick to dismiss the concerns. The data shows remdesivir isn’t causing kidney failure, but that doesn’t mean the public’s fear is baseless. People are seeing outcomes, and when a drug is linked to bad results—even if not directly causing them—it fuels distrust. The real issue is how these drugs are monitored in real-world settings, not just clinical trials. The system needs to be more transparent about side effects, even if they’re not the main cause of harm.

The AI's verdict is based on solid evidence, but it's also true that people's fears aren't just about data — they're about trust in how medicine handles uncertainty.

I get the fear, but the data clearly shows remdesivir isn’t the culprit. The real problem is how people conflate correlation with causation, especially when outcomes are already dire.
