FDA approves Pfizer's antiviral COVID-19 pill, plans to increase production in 2022

The US is now reporting more than 140,000 new infections daily and federal officials warn that the Omicron variant could send case counts soaring.

But they are expensive, hard to produce and require an injection or infusion, typically given at a hospital or clinic. With testing supplies stretched, experts worry it may be unrealistic for patients to self-diagnose, get tested, see a physician and pick up a prescription within that narrow window. Less than 1 per cent of patients taking the drug were hospitalised and none died at the end of the 30-day study period, compared with 6.5 per cent of patients hospitalised in the group getting a dummy pill, which included nine deaths.

Can we take bets on the 'usual delay factors' that the LNP will roll out to explain away this as a no-show when it's needed?

Good news. But this is not for everybody. Pregnant women can’t have it, so if you’re pregnant, vaccines are still the best protection. And this drug can’t be taken with certain other medications. But, what I don’t have is the list of those “other medications”. Are they common?

Quick go get another booster... your not fully vaxxed unless you have had three shots now... soon it will be 4 then 5 then 6 jabs lol. and where did delta go?

Crazy how the most corrupt company on the planet has really sewn up the covid market with glowing media coverage to boot

The anti-vaxxers will have to be careful they don't get them mixed up with their worming tablets...
