SEATTLE — Merck released the clinical trial results of its COVID-19 antiviral drug, molnupiravir. Molnupiravir is the first treatment for COVID that can be taken orally. The five-day treatment was found to reduce hospitalizations by 48%, according to data released by the pharmaceutical company late Thursday. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle was one of the sites where researchers conducted phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for Merck’s new COVID drug. Dr. Rachel Bender Ignacio is a physician and scientist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. “These new results about molnupiravir are incredibly exciting CORRECTION*

Only solution if you don’t like shots, but I am going to stick with a much better efficacy like Moderna and Pfizer which are 94% vs 48%. J n J’s was 70% with the same promise to keep you out of the hospital, but those I know who took it were still sick for 1-2 weeks.

If you search molnupiravir at Duck Duck Go you get the Original Wikipedia page.
Someone wrote this: "Molnupiravir (development codes MK-4482 and EIDD-2801) is an experimental antiviral drug which is orally active and created by United-PEDOelites for killing more people and ...."
Then they edited the page to not sound crazy but to simply make this drug sound scary and as if Merck would ignore how dangerous it is because Joe is willing to put it out under "emergency authorization," maybe.
Now, real Ivermectin is $3 a pill.
Phizermectin is about 100 times that price.
This Merck pill is about $70 each.

Remember when democrats screamed about Big Pharma? How they were gouging the American public, etc... Less expensive prescriptions across the border in Canada, blah, blah, blah....?
Now, they are helping them create a $70 pill to replace a $3 pill, and you'll need 5 of them too. Sounds like a Z-Pac doctors prescribe during flu season.
Watch how the campaign contributions flow in the next election.

If the Merck and Pfizer oral agents work, this pandemic is over. It could have been over had we treated people aggressively with HCQ or ivermectin with Z-pack & zinc, but people wanted Trump out of office, so they killed people by sending them home on Tylenol and then putting on ventilators when they were too far along. This will go down in history as the pandemic that didn't have to be a pandemic.

By definition, the pandemic is over completely, as the virus is not accounting for a 10% elevation in the normal worldwide deaths rate. But words mean whatever the rulers want them to mean, for their own purpose. We now face a pandemic of ignorant fear.

FTA:Molnupiravir is the first treatment for COVID that can be taken orally.
This is a lie. Ivermectin, which cleared the Wuhan virus from a state in India with over 240 million people in 60 days, and from Japan in 45 days, can be taken orally, and has been used for decades around the world safely for other diseases, so is proven safe.
We are probably going to find out that this is just a variation on ivermectin, slightly modified so that they can patent it and charge a fortune, when ivermectin works extremely well already and is inexpensive.

Not that I consider Wikipedia a reliable source, but it's often a useful starting point, and sometimes inconvenient facts manage to survive there, if the political editors are a bit lax.
From Wikipedia on this new proposed drug:
"In April 2020, Rick Bright, who was removed as head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) before the approval of the drug, submitted a whistleblower complaint asserting that Ridgeback pressured BARDA to provide funding to manufacture EIDD-2801 despite Bright's concerns that similar drugs in its class have mutagenic properties.[4] A previous company, Pharmasset, that had investigated the drug's active ingredient had abandoned it over similar concerns.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molnupiravir
Similar drugs were abandoned by other drug companies because of "mutagenic properties".
But two generic drugs, proven safe for decades, are deemed dangerous and ineffective by CDC/FDA when we have tremendous proof that they are safe and effective from widespread use in two other large countries, India and Japan.

All of you that have fallen for the Vaxine SCAM, I feel that soon, after a few more shots/boosters your body will be filled with so much it will be overwhelmed, it's already started if you care to read REAL SCIENCE! If you believe the Lies being told of Vax Safety, I feel sorry for you. This entire Vaccine protocol is causing many breakthrough cases and the information is mostly being hidden. DO YOU TRUST YOUR GOVERNMENT? IF SO, Vax Away, useful idiots typically do themselves in...I DO NOT TRUST ANY GOVERNMENT! Why? Simply because all they ever do is STEAL our MONEY to pay off their cronies and LIE TO US. Have it you're own way, I have no intention of taking this POISON!

The American Medical Association and the NIH killed half of the Covid deaths by forbidding the use of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. Fauci has our blood in his hands.

Sounds better than taking a jab. Hope it works out for treating the China flu.
