No, I disagree. They're functioning like doctors. There is not, nor should be, a political side to science. Facts are facts, and numbers are numbers. And false cures give false hope to the afflicted -- it's no different than snake oil. In fact their argument is that it's too early to know so going in front of congress and the media is irresponsible. Hydroxychloroquine, too, showed promise in the early studies. When it became clear it wasn't efficacious, the media and politicians had already grabbed hold informing millions of americans that it was a cure when it in fact was not. The EUA for remedesivir and EUA revocation of hydroxychloroquine are here. They seem to be self explanatory about why the FDA took the action they did. https://www.fda.gov/media/137564/download

I think you are mischaracterizing what the research has actually shown.
Similar to HIV/AIDS, the most current clinical research on the field shows to treat it with a cocktail of drugs
E.g.
Antivirals
Immunomodulators
anti-senescent cells
Anticoagulants
ACE2 inhibitors
And a long list of other ones that singularly have some efficacy, but as a large cocktail together dramatically improve patient outcomes.
