Kory and Marik seem to always be singing from the same hymnal. I don’t see much different in their positions. Why do you think there is a difference?
My comment was really directed at the quotes in the posted piece. Kory came out with “this will end the pandemic”, which is almost certainly not the case. Marik just said “this is a safe and effective treatment”, which is almost certainly true.
I certainly would like Kory to be right, but at this point it appears that this drug, which is safe, cheap and widely available can help a lot of people, especially very poor people. It’s not a magic bullet, but is one thing that actually exists right now, that can be rolled out in third world conditions. Seems unethical to not allow that at this point.
