It would become the first oral antiviral for Covid-19 if approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization.

Oh how I hope that rate climbs north of 90% with use.

Wonder how long it will take to get permission.

I read that article. Promising.
On a side not the next article down referred to the mandate as an “ incentive of employment”.

Capitalism? Is that what you call it when the government prints money to buy things from companies?

The MoA of Merck’s drug and the purported MoA of ivermectin against the virus aren’t the same at all.

I agree, silly thread title aside.

Not sure what it has to do with narratives or how it’s even competition. Looks like an alternative to getting a shot to me.

It’s not an alternative.

It’s another medicine to add to one of the layers of defense.

So you get the shot AND take the pill? I wasn’t getting that from the article.
