The Pfizer drug called Paxlovid achieved an 89 percent reduction in risk of hospitalization or death among adult patients with Covid who are at high risk of progressing to severe illness, the US company said.

The results from the middle-to-late stage clinical trial were so strong that Pfizer will stop recruiting new people for the trial, the company said.

"Today's news is a real game-changer in the global efforts to halt the devastation of this pandemic," said Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. The main analysis of the data looked at numbers from 1,219 adults in North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia.Several companies are working on so-called oral antivirals, which would mimic what the drug Tamiflu does for influenza and prevent the disease from progressing to severe.Britain on Thursday became the first country to approve an anti-Covid pill, as it greenlit the use of Merck's antiviral drug called molnupiravir to treat patients suffering from mild to moderate coronavirus.

I gave listening ears to her mentorship. It haven't been easy with my investment of $300 i receive $1000 in return I don't want a huge return I only wanted a trusted trader educator. I want to use this time to give due appreciation to Mrs rosemarysimon_1

I wouldn’t let Pfizer or any of their “products” near me or my family with a ten foot pole.

We can't believe what Pfizer says. The clot shot didn't work. People now taking 3rd and 4th booster clots...sorry shots, and still the hospitals are full of people, now with covid and vax injuries.

I'll take the pill. Home. And drink it alone.

I think ' Cripple our country is thier Will',, it's time to engage our traditional ways of dealing with this pandemic 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I just have one question.....will these vaccines be a thing of the past? What is the God Heavens and Earth saying about this crippling pandemic? Could it be that the cure is as simple as a prayer? But, a prayer of the chosen one? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

What what does it cause

GONE ARE THE ELECTIONS.....COVID IS BAAAAACK!!!

If you are well informed you’ll notice that this percentage is a drop from the injection

So ivermectin was horse medicine, until Pfizer made one, at 100x the cost.

These people realize that we can't take their vaccine, then busy manufacturing pills? Rest guys, rest.

I would take the pills over the vaxim anytime.

My immune system is 100% effective

Wow

Merck is developing a covid pill 💊, which is mostly seen as a repurposed ivermectin. And now is Pfizer.

I entrusted Dennismayson9 with my money since I took rush of investing my money with he platform, and since then I've recovered all I lost to scams. Get in touch with Dennismayson9 and get a good mentorship and safe trading.

Here we go again...

Pfizer can kiss my ass🖕🏼

We don't believe Pfizers lies anymore.

Ivermectin under a new name and much higher price

Do not vaccinate do not take these pills It's all the work of evil people

I read Pfizer wants to inject our 5 to 11 yr old kids in the near future Their busy with a fake study in the US now Greedy Bustards have not Profited enough with Us and Old folks

Why would I take that shit when I have 99% chances of surviving covid if I catch it?

ThickLeeyonce

Pfizermectin

Nope. We see that this is all a scam & part of this BS great reset the billionaire class has been wanting. Covid plandemic was the perfect tragedy to profit from. Pfizer, Moderna & Co can stuff off. Survided covid without them & in perfect health. Keep your lies & your poisons

That's what's they said about the vaccine

I will take the pill not this vaccine even if it's four of them i will swallow them.
