The most striking difference between these two drugs is in the proof the government requires for efficacy and safety. Nothing seems to be enough for Ivermectin.
Pfizer-Merck-tin
two scientists
sounds like a consenscus
Molnupiravir is a ribonucleoside analog which is a building block that gets incorporated during covid-19 RNA replication, but because it has been slightly tweaked, it doesn’t function like the real nucleoside but instead prematurely halts the formation of the newly constructed virus’ RNA and thereby halts the virus replication before it’s completed ...
ivermectin functions by blocking part of the spike protein’s ACE receptor docking mechanism, preventing the covid virus from entering cells that are necessary for its subsequent replication ...

“Fact Check” Liberal propaganda. Always.
Dang.
The idiots just proved it is simply repackaged Ivermectin.
Could be true, but given the source (Reuters), I’ll await some believable journalists before I’d even read.
Too bad it is not Ivermectin. Then I would know it is safe and effective.
“Two disease experts have told Reuters that this is not the case and that the chemical make-up of the two drugs is different.”
This kills me. Of course it is different because it contains more than just Ivermectin, molnupiravir is a compound med with elemental zinc and a few other supplements (similar to part of the I-MASK protocol in a single pill).
They think we are stupid.
Here are some link to some studies. Many are from back in the good old days when they were not trying to murder us....
Ivermectin fights RNA viruses (from 2016)
One just focusing on RNA virus Dengue (from 2018)
Another with the same premise but including Covid
Another prospective mechanism by which IVM blocks replication
Too bad. Maybe if it was it would work
On the other hand, Molnupavir is a close cousin of Remdesivir. However Remdesivir cannot be taken orally. This was the goal of of the development of Molnupavir. This Nature article does a very good job of describing the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of Molnupavir:
"Similar to other nucleoside analogs, molnupiravir targets the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which mediates replication and transcription of the coronavirus genome. Viral RdRps are proven effective targets for inhibition, with several licensed nucleoside analogs that are used therapeutically. Indeed, the only currently clinically approved antiviral used for the treatment of COVID-19 is remdesivir (Veklury), which targets the RdRp. Similar to remdesivir, molnupiravir has been re-investigated as a coronavirus antiviral agent that leads to increased frequency of G-to-A and C-to-U transition mutations."
Stick with ivermectin
World has been using it for 40-50 years with negligible reports of any serious side effects unless compromised liver or kidney disease
This new stuff…already reported has potentially serious side effects
Long term unknown, There is no long term,
Its great that it is not repackaged Ivermectin because Ivermectin is a better drug by far and costs much less.
“the chemical make-up of the two drugs is different.” Probably true. The new drug has little bitty aliens in it.
True....Ivermectin is FAR MORE EFFECTIVE!!!!! (and cheaper).
Here’s a statistic:
Adverse Events reported, lifetime, for Ibuprofin: 169,000+
Adverse Events reported, lifetime, for Ivermectin: 5800+
You can buy advil in any grocery store.
