Molnupiravir, the first pill to treat Covid | Covid-19 Special

Could it be the breakthrough treatment? Molnupiravir was developed to treat the flu, but caused a sensation when it was shown to be effective against COVID-19. Now the World Health Organization says it's looking to issue guidance for its use.

that's awesome, and i hope it works great.....but....what's the difference between this and the vaccine?...yeah, i know the material difference, one is a shot, ones a pill, one is prophylactic, one is taken after you have it....but in the minds of antivaxxers...why would the pill be any different than the vaccine? both made by big pharma, both being endorsed by the government, the pill would actually be easier to slip something into, it's a much larger carrier, it doesn't have to be injected through a narrow gauge needle...¿

i really just meant the difference to antivaxxers. they won't take a vaccine made by big pharma and endorsed by the government, but they're ok with a pill made by big pharma and endorsed by the government?
why didn't they just start putting the vaccine in a capsule (yeah, i know, it doesn't work that way)?

Big Pharma that took government money to develop a vaccine (most of them) cant sell it for a profit, worldwide, iirc. Thats why you'll never hear the pill called a vaccine.

I guess that's the difference?

i know the difference. the pill is not a vaccine, but it's a drug made by the same companies they seem to have a lot of problems with, so how do they justify being alright with the pill, but pissing down their legs like an excited chihuahua when you suggest they take the vaccine?
i'm having trouble seeing a difference, and i'm wondering what it is they tell themselves to make one ok, and one not ok?

Dunno, as far as I can see they can't think. Ivermectin is made by big pharma too, maybe if they mixed the two together it might be more appealing. I understand there's an antidepressant that works quite well too and they can mix them for better results and to help some of their mental issues as well! Like antibodies, these treatments must be given early in the course of the illness, within days of symptoms appearing, to be effective.

It’s all a hoax, steeple!

You’d probably have to dip the pill in bacon grease to get trumptards to take it.

It might not do much here in the US, but lots of countries don't have the jab yet. To those counties it will keep the hospitals operating and save lots of non-covid lives as well. If they can pump them out cheaply it could be a game changer for Africa and Asia.

I think we all get where you’re coming from. Using logic to suppose what trumptards think and do will bite you in the ass every time.

"A FIVE-DAY COURSE of molnupiravir, the new medicine being hailed as a “huge advance” in the treatment of Covid-19, costs $17.74 to produce, according to a report issued last week by drug pricing experts at the Harvard School of Public Health and King’s College Hospital in London. Merck is charging the U.S. government $712 for the same amount of medicine, or 40 times the price."
