FDA authorizes first COVID-19 treatment pill, Pfizer's Paxlovin drug
FDA calls emergency authorization a 'major step forward in the fight against this global pandemic'

    By Danielle Wallace FOXBusiness

The Food and Drug Administration authorized the first oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19, Pfizer's Paxlovid drug.

Emergency use authorization was granted Wednesday for Pfizer's Paxlovid – nirmatrelvir tablets and ritonavir tablets, co-packaged for oral use – for the treatment of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease in adults and children 12 years of age or older weighing at least 40 kilograms or about 88 pounds.

It applies only to those who meet those qualifications, have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 testing and "who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death," the FDA said.

Paxlovid is available by prescription only and should be initiated as soon as possible after diagnosis of COVID-19 and within five days of symptom onset.

And how much does Pfizer stand to make from selling these?

Wouldn't it be just nuts if some of the ingredients in this treatment pill happened to be Ivermectin, Zinc and Vitamin D?

HERES THE NEW PFIZER PILL:

“Paxlovid consists of nirmatrelvir, which inhibits a SARS-CoV-2 protein to stop the virus from replicating.”

This is exactly what Ivermectin does.

Ha..I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't ivermectin...under a new name of course..

Biden: It Will Be ‘Weeks to a Month’ Before Hospitals Get Pfizer COVID Pill
Breitbart, Dec 22, 2021

During an interview aired on Wednesday’s edition of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” President Joe Biden stated that it will take “weeks to a month” to get the Pfizer coronavirus pill to hospitals, but “it won’t be enough to get to all the hospitals.”

Host David Muir asked, “Do you have any idea how quickly the American people will actually see these pills? How soon we’re going to be able to get them to hospitals that are already seeing patients?”

Biden responded, “The answer is, I think it will be a matter of a week to — weeks to a month to get the pills, but it won’t be enough to get to all the hospitals. We’ve ordered a lot more of those pills. We’re going to have to order millions of those pills.”

The Food and Drug Administration authorized Merck’s drug for adults with early symptoms of COVID-19 who face the highest risks of hospitalization, including older people and those with conditions like obesity and heart disease. The U.K. first authorized the pill in early November.

Known as molnupiravir, the Merck drug will carry a warning against use during pregnancy.

So what's in this "new" Merck pill?

[mountaineer]

Ha..I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't ivermectin...under a new name of course..

That probably is a safe bet. How much actual safety testing has been done, though, for this "emergency" med?
