Merck Asks FDA For Emergency Use Authorization For Its $700 COVID Pill, Biden Already Bought 1.7 Mil

Merck Asks FDA For Emergency Use Authorization For Its $700 COVID Pill, Biden Already Bought 1.7 Million

Biden spends over $2.4 billion on Merck wonder drug so good it deserves a 4,000% markup

TOM PAPPERT   |   October 12, 2021

Yesterday the pharmaceutical giant Merck asked the Food and Drug Administration to grant emergency use authorization for its new pill, Molnupiravir, that can treat COVID-19 for the eye watering price of $712, and Joe Biden already bought 1.7 million. The drug costs Merck $17.74 to produce.
“Merck said it is asking for authorization for the capsules to treat infected adults who are at risk of progressing to severe Covid-19 disease or hospitalization,” reported CNN.

A drug trial for Molnupiravir was reportedly ended early “because the drug was working so well” versus the placebo. “Data from this trial has not yet been peer-reviewed or published,” CNN later noted.

The left wing news outlet also notes that Merck, like Pfizer with its COVID-19 pill, has been producing the drug in large numbers even before studies could be completed or the FDA granted it some form of clearance to enter the market. The company “expects to produce 10 million courses of treatment by the end of 2021,” wrote CNN. “It has already sold 1.7 million treatment courses to the US government.”

It's rigged.

How much do anti-bodies costing?  $2,100 per treatment

How much do vaccines cost?  $10-$40 per treatment

$700 is still a bargain compared to ICU hospitalization and treating chronic symptoms of post-Covid long haul syndrome.

Vaccines are still the most cost-effective means to deal with Covid-19/SARS2.

I appreciate that you acknowledge the jabs as a treatment rather than a preventative.  But aren't treatments usually reserved for people who actually get sick?

And then there are those who already got the jab treatment, but later came down with Covid.  What about them?  Don't some of them also get the ICU bills and the monoclonal antibody treatments?

And how does the price of jabbing 8 people with $30-$120 in shots compare with treating the one person who actually gets Covid with $5 in ivermectin, zinc, Vitamin-D, etc?

Merck is mass producing a pill that hasn't been approved yet.  Can you say 'insider information'?  And once it gets approved, they will sell it at a 4000% markup.  Corruption to the core.

Not true.

Look into what the largest province in India (240 million people) did using Ivermectin and some other drugs.

This crap here all started with Obamacare.  Big Pharma practically wrote the entire bill.  They all colluded amongst themselves and put forward a list of their drugs that would be guaranteed coverage by insurance mandates and medicaid expansions, and then jacked the prices up of those select drugs.

So true!

They also use the govt agencies to eliminate competition and any potential treatments that are less profitable to them. I can't help but wonder how much of our medical establishment is corrupted by this.

All of it. A better question would be what, if anything, that the government touches is not corrupt?

   Corporations have sucked trillions of dollars out of the US Taxpayer since this covid crap started, not to mention that they jumped on the censorship bandwagon to readily shut down the First Amendment.

Let us consider, comrade Briefers...

A pill that costs $17 to produce, for which they will demand $700 ??

And you probably think that communism is going to have to be "sold" to or forced upon the American people, right?

Comrades, what more will The Party have to do other than sit back, since we have capitalist companies like Merck to "sell it" for us...?

Ivermectin or HCQ and zinc, with azithromycin or doxycycline, vitamin C & D, could be done for under $20/course. That was the case when all this started.
