New partially bullshit which Big Pharma's throwing at us to see if it will stick:
Pfizer Paxlovid and Merk's Molnupiravir; Though the panel backed the pill, the meeting was contentious. Several doctors expressed concerns about potential side effects from the drug as well as its possible impact on the ***future evolution of the virus***.
Molnupiravir** prompts the virus to mutate **and produce errors** that inhibit its ability to replicate, Merck said.
“Even if the probability is very low, 1 in 10,000 or 100,000, that ***this drug would *induce* an 'escape mutant', from which the vaccines we have do not cover --- that could be ***catastrophic*** for the whole world actually***, ” Dr. James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, told the panel the FDA panel in November.
