READ: A COVID pill?

Dated: March 12, 2021 by Sharyl Attkisson 9 Comments

      

Coronavirus

Researchers say they may have found an oral antiviral pill that stops the COVID virus in its tracks:

A single pill of the investigational drug molnupiravir taken twice a day for 5 days eliminated SARS-CoV-2 from the nasopharynx of 49 participants.

That led Carlos del Rio, MD, distinguished professor of medicine at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, to suggest a future in which a drug like molnupiravir could be taken in the first few days of symptoms to prevent severe disease, similar to Tamiflu for influenza.

"I think it's critically important," he told Medscape Medical News of the data. Emory University was involved in the trial of molnupiravir but del Rio was not part of that team. "This drug offers the first antiviral oral drug that then could be used in an outpatient setting."

      Uhm.. 4th actually. HCQ + zinc +antibiotic, Ivermectin, and don't forget nebulized Budesonide (technically not an anti-viral, but helps people who can't breath to be able to breath again within 1 to 2 treatments which according to a recent RCT kept 90% of patients out of the hospital). There are so many ways to treat this disease and keep it from becoming the deadly tiger.

    We already have two drugs for this and both of them have a long history of use.

    Ed Eichman. Antiviral is the key word I think ? Ivermectin is for parasites.

      It is also antiviral. What difference does it make that it kills parasites if it cures viruses like covid?

        I was just noting that itโ€™s use historically has been for parasites and moon blindness. Iโ€™m all for ivermectin! Itโ€™s in my arsenal

    Oh hell no what a easy way for the NWO demons to add trackers. We know they do exist and the leftist global elite want us branded so badly nothing can be trusted that comes about with from this manufactured pandemic. Nothing in the future either. They have proven themselves to be completely untrustworthy.

    We have known about HCQ. zinc, D3
    and Ivermectin for the whole time and we know they work and are cheap. Why are we coming up with more drugs that are not tested or 100% effective when we already have some that are FDA approved?
