As a sensational news item and film go viral across the internet claiming that snake venom is somehow linked to COVID-19 and treatments for it, including remdesivir, Dr. Pierre Kory is questioning the claims’ validity.
In excruciating detail, Kory — a critical care doctor who’s been treating COVID patients since the start of the pandemic, enumerates flaws in the snake venom theory and gives scientific reasons why it hasn’t been clearly thought out by those making the claims.
Unfortunately, one person making the claims, Dr. Brian Ardis, has turned the hypothesis into a viral frenzy. “The problem is that Dr. Ardis went on some highly watched podcasts this week espousing novel … theories that COVID is equivalent to snake venom and that remdesivir is actually snake venom plus a bunch of stuff about snake venom, er, I mean COVID, being released in water sources,” Kory says.
And, as Ardis’ appearances and the film make the rounds, people aren’t hearing the real truths about how COVID patients become sick and are treated by conventional means. And that, Kory says, is a serious problem: “In summary, unfortunately (or fortunately) this is all the time I can devote to the above ranting of a truth, partial truths and irrelevancies littered with blatant untruths, inaccuracies and ignorances.”
