[Ultegra134]

A new oral antiviral drug from Pfizer has now approved emergency authorization on Wednesday, 22/12/2021. This medication is recommended to high risk patients, and it's said to be available within the week. It has been approved for patients above 12 years old, with mild to moderate Covid-19 symptoms and should be prescribed as soon as possible after diagnosis, and within 5 days.

The rollout of this new tool against Covid-19, is coming at a crucial point of the pandemic, with the new Omicron variant being now the dominant strain, while along with the approved vaccines, the condition should gradually improve.

Whatever makes people feel safe so that we can end this mask and vaccine mandate foolishness.  I'm sure it won't be long before Pfizer offers a daily pill you can take that will help you avoid being infected in the first place.  Then nasal sprays, patches, suppositories...  I'm sure there's a whole laundry list of products that big pharma is lining up to sell you that go along with their semi-annual booster shots.  I for one will continue to do things the old fashioned way.  Nothing like soup, a blanket, lots of water, rest, and some of Grandpa's good old fashioned cough syrup to cure any ills.

get out of SCI-FI
there is no forcefield bubble shield in pill form. nor will there be.

the only way to stop getting infected is to not breathe the same unfiltered air as someone who is infected. which is to socially distance and wear a mask.

vaccines, being infected by the non first time(immunity building).. and medication is to reduce the harm when infected.

The roll out of the oral antiviral drug may be instrumental in combating the menace of Covid, many who have phobia's for needles can now do away with that excuse for not getting vaccinated. My question however is - will this oral antiviral drug be a one time thing, or a drug that will be taken whenever one experiences symptoms of COVID like other drugs?

It doesn't replace vaccines, the antiviral drug's purpose is solely to combat the illness's symptoms itself, reducing the risk of fatalities. It will probably be taken just like any other antiviral drug we're accustomed to. Despite its rollout, vaccines are still necessary.

Is it going to be more effective and cheaper than Ivermectin? I don't think so.
The drug is already here all along, but since Big Pharma did not release it. It marked as a "Horse Dewormer"

I found somewhere that it cost around 500 USD. That's ~ 2 month salary in my country. Hope it will be cheaper in the near future.  For ivermectin, it didn't work in high risk people. It seems to work for some people but they are low risk who are gonna be without symptoms or with very mild symptoms in the first place. And, Ivermectin didn't prevent Covid. I have tried it on myself and other people.

Okay, I did a little research and found pretty limited results, regarding its price, however, I did read that each treatment course is way too costly for the average citizen. Israel has already supplied the first batches of the Pfizer antiviral pill, in hopes to reduce fatalities and hospitalizations, in order to tackle the Omicron variant, which is soaring the entire globe.

I am surprised with the audacity of Pfizer as a healthcare company, first, they lobbied for their RNA vaccines all around the world in name of highly effective vaccines, when the world thought these vaccines are effective and were about to use them, they brought up the booster shot idea which was wild. We all know the rush that we people went through to ensure we get vaccines ASAP. Now apart from the preventive actions they have successfully lobbied an antiviral drug that too with very minimal test results, and not the only US but the UK to have approved this. If after all these things the situation doesn't improve then I think all these are just the money-minting techniques these companies are carrying out.

It's kind of expected, that during a pandemic, pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Jansen etc. are thriving. Of course, their main goal is probably to make money, and it's the perfect opportunity for some, even your local pharmacy, supermarket, grocery store and so on thrived during quarantine. However, said companies have immense pressure to find a solution, which won't only be safe, but effective too. I'm positive that in the next few months, we'll have more tools to tackle this pandemic, the sooner, the better.

Video clip of Joe Rogan interview with Harvard lecturer, MD.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn1UwPSzTV4 - The Troubling Story of Vioxx, nonsteroidal inhibitor drug.

Who created Vioxx? Merck, the same company that has created the new anti-Covid pill. In the video, Dr. Abramson explains that Merck falsified its clinical trial data when publishing to the regulatory agencies/medical journals which allowed Vioxx to be released onto the public market and adopted by physicians to prescribe to their patients. Turns out it had cardiovascular side effects which was hidden by Merck, 40-60k people died of strokes/heart attacks before it was removed from the market in '04.

Remember, we're suppose to trust big pharma, folks.

This is not to say that pharmaceutical companies do not produce life saving medications, they do. But behind these medications are the profit motive. And to blindly trust corporations with a profit motive is a lapse of judgement.

A fear of needles is not the only reason people decline to get vaccinated.

Even if you are vaccinated, you can still get sick from covid, and can die from covid, although there is evidence that the vaccine reduces the risk of serious illness and death from covid. It also takes some time after you have received the vaccine for its protection to start. 

So if you are at high risk of serious illness and you get covid, you can take this drug to reduce the risk of a negative outcome.

This is something that should reduce the negative consequences for covid being prevalent throughout the world.
