Pfizer hopes it can eventually offer the pills, under the name Paxlovid, for people to take at home before they get sick enough to go to the hospital. Paxlovid combines a new antiviral drug named nirmatrelvir and an older one called ritonavir.After a month of follow-up, the study found five hospitalizations and no deaths among 697 people who received the drug within the first three days of symptoms. Among 682 who received placebo, 44 were hospitalized, including 9 who died.
A month ago, the Biden Administration announced it would purchase 10 million treatment courses for $5.295 billion. If authorized by the FDA, the first courses could be delivered by the end of the year, it said at the time. A five-day course of Paxlovid comprises three pills given twice a day.Paxlovid is the not the only antiviral pill in the pipeline for FDA authorization.
That's great but I do hope they do not make millions of dollars off this drug because it is too important to the saving of lives and thus should be affordable by all and free to those who cannot afford it.
The pill you swore Trump was lying about?
I’ve not heard good things about the pill. I’d rather everyone get vaccinated instead of posing a risk of the next mutation
Does it not require early use to be effective? Where we are fail is the easy availability of testing. Make sure everybody has an at home test available and then maybe we will see improvement
Wow ! Magical news !!! It will save millions of lives !!! Well done Pfizer team !

What happened to their vaccine ? I thought it was supposed to be the best thing ever?!
😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahaha seriously stop with this bullshit.
Can a mandate be in place when treatments are available?
They're damn busy hey, they maki $£€billions 😠
Our world has become so schizophrenic. When people are politicking over a medicine you know there is issues
89% success rate for some is fantastic! Well done pfizer! trustfauci
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy. How can the exact same voting base who was mostly affected by opioid abuse now say they worry what goes in their bodies. Lol
Natural immunity is better ! Self-imposed MAGA death panels are thinning the herd of inferior stock !
That statistic, or the way it’s phrased, doesn’t even make any sense; that’s not how studies work. It cut it for “some” by 89% is inherently a sample of a sample.
Covid 19 not killed Ethiopian as UN. NoMore
Sounds better than this
K now cover the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
So it is more effective than vaccination and only needed for high risk candidates? Why have we wasted all this time and money on ineffective vaccines?
Is this a post-vaccine treatment? If so, why is it aimed at cutting the risk of covid hospitalization?
Pfizermectin works!
Strange that the virus doesn’t effect the same amount of people and a higher 98.6% success rate. Big pharma owns your news network. You couldn’t say otherwise if you wanted.
Em resumo: Vacina salva vida!
Focus should have been early treatment from the beginning
