Doesn't matter. The check has already been cut. The purpose has been served. The taxpayers have been milked. Now throw that mutagenic trash in the garbage before you get a baby with a third arm holding it's liver.

Go IPIX!

Can we flesh that headline out a bit?

Merck's COVID-19 pill significantly less effective in new analysis
"The molnupiravir arm of the study had a hospitalization and death rate of 6.8%, according to the updated data. The placebo group had a hospitalization and death rate of 9.7%.
One patient in the molnupiravir arm died, versus nine in the placebo group."
That's a fair amount better then nothing, right? Especially for the 8 people that didn't die and the 3 out of every 100 that didn't have to be hospitalized or die.


The UK health authority thought so.
"The United Kingdom conditionally approved molnupiravir, branded as Lagevrio, earlier this month."
"Molnupiravir has been authorised for use in people who have mild to moderate COVID-19 and at least one risk factor for developing severe illness. Such risk factors include obesity, older age (>60 years), diabetes mellitus, or heart disease."
“With no compromises on quality, safety and effectiveness, the public can trust that the MHRA has conducted a robust and thorough assessment of the data.”

A little while ago CNBC reported that 78% of all people hospitalized were overweight. But there is no money to be made by big pharma by telling people to lose weight and exercise. So now we have a pandemic of the obese.

Fat people are the largest drain on America today. We are protecting fatties and the sick and elderly at the expense of, well, everything.
