It does not. It is a targeted therapeutic. It is like tamiflu which it to say targeted at this virus unlike other meds like ivermectin and HCQ which are for other conditions that showed some weak anti Covid properties.
This is the proper next step. So between monoclonals and now orals with the emergence of omicron which is not nearly as severe as previous strains and more transmissible the laws of epidemiology are combining with targeted therapies and vaccination to form all three legs of how to end a pandemic.
Those opposed to the vaccine seem to shoot themselves into he foot by also being against specific therapeutics. I guess there are those who simply do not want to advance anything.
Thanks to PDJT for the vaccine and operation warp speed which has also allowed for a pathway to the rapid development of decent and targeted treatments.
I’m looking forward to hearing more about this drug, sounds hopeful. If it passes muster, perhaps the PTB should just make available to everyone to keep on hand for immediate use upon a positive test.
If you are in fact a doctor, my guess is that you are not a very bright one.
I am grateful if we have a therapeutic. Was willing to try Iver/HCQ if needed - but not sure there is any good evidence.
So, if we can take pills that won’t stay in our systems forever and instigate who knows what somewhere down the line, as vaccines more likely can, I’d be happy to have this alternative.
Now, if they’ll just stop with the mandates/force on vaccines, then maybe I can be happy again as America might return to its normal self.
*This ignores the fact I disagree with the whole premise of COVID-19 being an absolutely terrible disease.
