How many other people are creeped out that the name of the company that produces the drug Remdesivir is the same as the fictional setting of Handmaid's Tale?
The parent name of Gilead would creep me out if Remdesivir becomes the new drug hyped by Trump, because that means he's got a financial or political interest in plugging the drug. (Luckily he probably wouldn't be able to pronounce it!)
I hope it is something truly being developed for humanitarian health purposes, not for darker reasons. I have no reason to think that, so the company name is unfortunate, and of course I hope it works and that nobody I know will be sick enough to have to need it.
I hope their name doesn't signify that they are a Biblically based company.
