Merck said its experimental pill helped prevent serious illness and death in high-risk people infected with Covid-19, a step toward the virus’s first at-home treatment

Merck & Co. and its partner Ridgeback Biotherapeutics LP said their experimental Covid-19 pill helped prevent high-risk people early in the course of the disease in a pivotal study from becoming seriously ill and dying, a big step toward providing the pandemic’s first easy-to-use, at-home treatment.

The pill cut the risk of hospitalization or death in study subjects with mild to moderate Covid-19 by about 50%, the companies said Friday.

Good to know. Do you remember in school how students work in teams or cooperative groups to explore/ solve problems? Well, We have suggestion: Why don’t some Multibillionaires’ groups donate medication to 3rd World Countries with the governments help? Let’s try to EradicateCovid

It’s IVERMECTIN!!!!

Send it to Chi na , Cana da and other countries for experiment and see how it works! If it successful after a few yrs with no reverse or severe reactions then maybe some here would be interested!! Not me! I don’t take any meds..

I think the first at home treatment was Ivermectin and it has a 30 year safety record.

Please get this pill out now

Wow. It’s data hasn’t been peer reviewed? And they want to give it out? More info please! How many in thier study were and were not vaccinated? What was the improvement of those in both groups? That is did it work better on vaccinated over unvaccinated? Again why peer review!!

What’s in it 🤔

So does Ivermectin and it’s cheap!

Yeaaaaahhhh because pharmaceutical companies have never ever lied. They only started the entire Opioid epidemic. It’s 775 people this isn’t worth any news and it’s not a study.

LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS. EXPERIMENTAL

Ivermercktin

Antibody drugs SUCH AS remdisivir have been shown to reduce hospitalization and death by roughly 70% when given to high-risk patients, roughly 20 percentage points more than Merck's pill.

If source to be believed There was no scrutiny of the Pfizer vaccine results by PHE or MRHA as they both referred to each other. There are bad reports from Israel about the Pfizer vaccine. This pill is another undertested experimental medication

Trying to profit by replacing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine

pinguim1125 disse que não existe a menor necessidade disso pois com ctz após a 7° dose de reforço de 3 vacinas distintas a pessoa só terá uma 'gripizinha' usará máscara e fará quarentena. ddvilela1910 Joaquim61449208

Can you say I.V.e.r.M.e.C.T.I.N?

Ya know what really annoys me… why is it so easy to get vaccinated but hard to get tested to see if you have been Infected by Covid. I’ve talked with some people who say they have been feeling horrible. How does anyone really know. We just might be building our own Immunities.

Gee, can't imagine why they would want to downplay/FUD/suppress any news of their old but now off-patent drug iv3rm3ctin doing something similar when they had a new full cost drug in the pipeline 🤔🙄

For a flu virus with a 99.76 % of survival under 70. Tell me please how this differs from the typical corona viruses for centuries.

forgotaboutshwe Honestly thought this was teenie weenies

I would say we'll confidently face this endemic (?)

calistevenj Horse 💩

Does any one with a brain question why the most profitable Pharmas are gaining lightning speed approval and btw %50 is truthfully just a placebo because you can't prove whether the pill actually did it's work or not. Big pharma is just trying to $$ shame!!

Bets on how long any regulatory approval & procurement of this takes for Aus, & what low level bureaucrat gets sent to negotiate? SHamiltonian

We know exactly what’s in it….they own Ivermectin. This is rebranded Ivermectin so they can charge more for what really defends against COViD. Just look at India, Africa and several South American countries

Looks like hot dogs! Can’t wait to take it

I wish we would have had this available before we lost our family members to the Trumps irresponsible playing it down virus

You know what this does to us all, without testing, theyare subjecting everyone, including the entire medical profession, to many new medical problems that will keep them away from necessary legitimate research!

naturalimmunity blows merk out of the water with near 100% immunity. Don't believe bigPharma

Easier way to kill people slowly which helps trim down the massive debts owed.

MakeThePillsBlue

if tomorrow Bolsonaro will say that this is good. all the press will say it sucks. there is no scientific proof

So, what does it contain?

Everyone’s calling this ivermercktin but it’s more like tamerckflu

Looks like kielbasa. Lol USMerckProducts Merck why haven't you subbed the 100% cure, $10 cost, ivermectin with tetracycline, since discovered may 2020? It's fraud not to. We save lives n insurance like caud, care $$$. OIGatHHS JusticeOIG StateOIG

Would you really trust them though

Unfortunate the Murdoch empire has been promoting fake cures for profit. Chris Hayes compared the cynicism to the Sackler family's during the opioid crisis.

Ivermectin rebranded?

What functional group did they move on Ivermectin to make this unique pill?

BS!!! Money making drug n vaccine pushers..you killed thousands millions around the world for hiding ivermectin and hydroxychloricine!! Karma will come back!

I wonder if it’s just rebranded NAC 😂

Đới Hương Tràm :) :D

Doesn’t Merck make bulk chemicals? Arent they always laying off workers, like ⏰ clockwork!? Now, big pharma says TrustMe? Yeah, right.

WSJ lies like foxnews for their dear leader Rubert Murdoch

Know what works even better? Wanna guess? come on. give it a shot.

Maura2e2_ Insert clever Matrix comment here.

1. Create a Virus. 2. Sell the Cure.

Oh so they changed a couple molecules in Iver—-tin, call it a new drug, and make all the money. Clever.

Cool but I will wait for the peer review.

I'd like some peer review, BUT... If we're starting to find Tamiflu style drugs for this virus, we're getting on the right track to finally get a handle on this virus. I know 'Big Pharma' is an issue, but for once, let's give the benefit of a doubt here.

Just sitting here wondering how many of the folks citing “safety concerns” for why they haven’t vaxed up are gonna be screaming about the global conspiracy keeping them from getting this pill that hasn’t even gone through peer review yet? IHateThisTimeline

I'd like to see peer review of their studies first but this would be nice. I wonder if the anti-vaxxers would take it.

Ngọc Thanh Vân :) :D

And its a red pill! 😂😂😂 sigh...the irony.

Exactly like its already-existing but out-of-patent drug Ivermectin does in the numerous countries now using it exactly the same way? What a surprise.

What next a cure for or the common cold yeah right it's easy to find a cure for something that 99.97 people recover from I prefer paracetamol myself.

You are absolutely ruled over by evil oligarchs and deserve to be punished for being so foolish to trust them. If you think you need their permission and 1000% mark up on the price of something, and cannot see the brazen day light robber barron nature of this you cannot be helped

Well it is a shame that it is still experimental and being rushed for emergency usage. That means anti-vaxxers won't take it. And shouldn't be allowed to take it, since that was their excuse for not getting the shot.

They had to make it red... Rofl We the people take the green pill matrix4

Anti vaxxers will come out in droves supporting this, thinking it is ivermectin in pill form (after all, Merck IS the manufacturer of ivermectin).

Let me guess, this one is patentable and highly profitable unlike the other options

That would be great. Just don’t make it political. Get someone that everyone loves to promote “The Covid19 Tamiflu”. 🎭😎

Fool. Get the Vaccine!!!!!!! Why waste your money on the medicine to get when you have, instead of preventing for you to get. Health wise your body is stronger when you don't get, as when you do. I maybe over cancer, hopefully GOD willing. But my body is damaged from it.

Everyone around the world should watch season 5 of Goliath the series as it mimics pharmaceutical companies their greed and race to be first with a drug to sell governments. Governments are pressed to get re-elected they ignore warnings and sign bad deals that kill Americans

goddamn it no! now people will make excuses not to get vaccinated!

I wonder if the pro horse pill crowd is happy about this.

50% still get hospitalized and die. Vaccinations still a must.

Hmmm experimental pill for covid 19 may be the key word here

For those making ivermectin or anti-vax jokes, how does it feel to be a mouthpiece for big pharma. 'Merck has a contract with the U.S. government that implies a price of $700 for a course of treatment with its antiviral molnupiravir' ...now that ivermectin is out of the way.

Red 💊 Blue pill

Need more of this

So I guess now the ivermectin crowd will be thinking that cocktail wieners will cure COVID-19 🙄

This is just ivermectin rebranded.

Vacxed people would also use it. If a person who gets a flu shot gets the flu anyway, they take Tamiflu. So ... what's with not wanting sick people to be able to access early treatment regardless of their vax status?

👎

This is one of the things I've been looking forward to, in addition to COVID-19 vaccinations. Having a pill we can take, similar to Tamiflu after the flu, could be an extra line of protection and a relief from worrying about breakthrough cases as much. 🤞🏼

Just call it Ivermercktine and problem solved

Aren’t we supposed to be against antivirals and treatment…and pro vaccines 😉

Bullshit

Those look like hot dogs.

🚩Rick Bright immunologist w/BARDA during Trump administration, now working under Biden, issued 2020 warning for Molnupiravir, saying it was similar to drugs with DNA damaging properties. Anti-vaxrs will take this, but not a covid vax they fear will damage their DNA😁

Follow the money. Merck= ivermectin. Weird eh

I’m curious 🧐 why have these “safe & effective”💉created unprecedented profit$ to “aires” Why is there more talk about 💉than proving t/efficacy of their work? How come”aires”don’t share their 💉status? Why do Merck think they don’t have a tainted past well documented?

And we have to take it three times a day I'm guessing?

Jumping on this stock asap

Was Covid +, then vaccinated, then Delta…hit me up.

Those pills look delish like little sausages tbh. This may be intentional. They say that 98% of non-vaxed folks are morbidly obese.

Nope. After my personal experience, I'm having nothing to do with any kind of covid vaccine, booster, or medication ever again.

The findings have not been peer reviewed. So maybe you should’ve noted that in your Tweet.

For some reason all the idiots in the replies think it’s the false touted parasite drug.. and it’s not. It’s nothing like it. Because no one knows how to read and this pandemic won’t end because people won’t get the vaccine…

Experimental is all I need to know...

Main Ingredient Ivermectin

Please send these medicine to all sick people in the world

Not peer reviewed strange🤔🤔

What’s in it? Simple question.

pillskill

Sound like hydroxychloriquin or ivermectin but I bet at 100 times the cost

ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine

Tamiflu is a crap drug, so let's not taint this product with that stench.

GVDBossche Your comments on this please? Does it can be a replacement for vaccine? I don't want to take any vaccine and I feel this better to take and escape from the toxic vaccine!! Your thoughts?

You mean its ivermectin copycat version...

Some people will swallow anything. 🤣

With these pills 💊 straight 🤣

GERMANY has a history of, EXTERMINATIONCAMPS .. Could it be possible .. 'M0RE PR0PAGANDA' ! Than being beneficial .. Best to ask questions, than say .. ' Oops ' ! MISTAKE IT'S EXPERIMENTAL ! SCIENCE ISN'T ABSOLUTE !

Genuine Question What are your thoughts on NAC?

What ingredients are in the pill 💊?

So will this allow the heroes of last year to continue on working without vilification from not wanting the vax?

Insert sheets? Ingredients?

Oy oy saveloy

What you mean first at home treatment….. heaps of people have been successfully treated at home…..

These pharma companies are rushing to collect on a gold mine (virus 19). Wise up people and don't be fooled! Just because these companies say something doesn't mean their products will do what the say it will. Wake up! This is another $$$$$ grab!!

Vaxart has a Covid 💊 vaccine with mucosal immunity and can eliminate infection at its source! Also, has a higher T-cell response that last longer and reacts better to variants and other coronavirus strains. fundthepill

False

Remdesivir… renamed?

Literally this is Ivermectin or a “protease inhibitor” with a new patent… How can some still not “see” ? This whole thing is about money and power

Can you get in a pop concert if your double pilled🤔🤷‍♂️

Fake claim India has developed it way beach in May 2021 and has approvals for emergency use. How does this claim becomes the first ? 2 pharma giants are already manufacturing on large scale, get your facts right DRDO_India

Great news for people who prefer experimental medications with low efficacy tested on ANIMALS over fully tested, approved, highly effective vaccines. 🤪

Clever making these pills appear red.

Now tell me what are the side effects

Anti-vaxxers will love that its in a 'red pill'!!!!!!!!!

Placebo

Ivermectin 2.0 😂😂

Except it's not the first at home treatment.

Then do the right thing and give it away instead of turning it into a cash cow that we will end up not trusting because, gasp, we never know when you are telling the truth.

Just like IVERMECTIN.. This should end VaccineMandates

They put the horse past in a pill and made the tax payer pay so it’s for humans now?

They used the trigger word of experimental. Now the anti medicine people will say it makes you grow a 3rd arm or something.🙄

Yes make more money from death and disease..

But WHATS IN IT It looks like SAUSAGE and everyone knows that NO ONE knows what's in sausages.

It's all just a massive money making con,shove all your pills and injections where the sun dont shine.

Isn't this what the vaccine was going to do

Wow. Zyesami by NRxPharma was shown to do the same thing, but better with clinically significant data over 6 months ago. Where’s their news coverage? The bias is real.

Oh you mean they rebranded ivermectin so they can sell it to you at 100x mark up 🤔

Now we know why ivermectin was down played as a medication for COVID $$$

The Merck Pill...7% died and only 50% avoided hospital?! Surely the vaccines are way better than this?

The U.S. has agreed to pay Merck $1.2 billion for 1.7 million courses of molnupiravir, should regulators approve. Governments already use a pay for success model - why not pay a fraction of that amount for RCTs that prove generic drugs can treat Covid19?

Merck used to hold the patent of Ivermectin.

Merck would it be possible that the formula of molnupiravir be published? Just to make sure that the molnuporavir is not a rebranded drug. thanks

hello guys check this

I know, since G-d saved her life, why don't we just try to do it again? I know where you're goin

Its just ivermectin

My fat ass thought they were tasty cocktail sausages
