The Pfizer pharmaceutical company is conducting trials on an antiviral drug could be ready for public use later this year that is intended to attack the spine of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and result in a cure to the sickness.
The oral drug would stop the virus from mutating in the nose, throat and lungs, according to The Telegraph newspaper, ultimately causing the virus to dissipate. The possible home cure is being tested on 60 volunteers ages18 and 60 at Pfizer facilities in the U.S. and Belgium.
"We have designed PF-07321332 as a potential oral therapy that could be prescribed at the first sign of infection, without requiring that patients are hospitalized or in critical care," said Mikael Dolsten, who leads the company’s worldwide research, development and medical division.
The first phase of the trial looks at the tolerance to the drug including "significant side effects, and how people feel after taking it," according to documents.
The second phase studies the response to several doses, and the third phase looks at food consumption while taking the pill.
More trials would be needed to determine how the drug reacts with people who are infected with the virus.
Pfizer says if the trials are successful the drug could be available for public use later this year.

A broad spectrum protease inhibitor would be like a broad spectrum antibiotic the brute force approach. If they found one that targets corona viri then all the variants and anything else the chicoms cook up would be killable this removing the draw to keep.developing weapons in the corona virus platform. Yes truly a breakthrough if they have one tolerated well by humans. I read that as the Holy Grail, a cure for the common cold!

why should anyone believe anything that the cdc, fauxi, and the scientific community says about a so called “deadly virus” when they refuse to speak up about the dangers of our feral government opening the border, inviting, and then distributing thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a so called “global pandemic”???... Indeed.
Also, in NO gaming exercise ever have the participants sent vaccines or drugs to any other state or country while they themselves were suffering from an outbreak.
We, who are allegedly deep in the midst of a lethal life and livelihood destroying, economy devastating health crisis, are sending vaccines and materials needed to make COVID-19 vaccines to India.
Why?

B!tch has the face she deserves. Yes, but I really, really had to dig through image search results to find one that wasn't a glamor shot...

No one, and I mean no one, can ever make a good decision when they are fed nothing but malevolent information.

BTW, has anyone noticed that the sudden flurry of "mass shooters" disappeared IMMEDIATELY as soon as Congress decided they couldn't push gun control through?

i don’t know if we’re actually sending vaccine supplies there...
i get the impression that this is another scare tactic because there appears to be a considerable amount of doubt in our country about the vaccine...

All of the sudden the China enthralled biden administration is sending vaccine and vaccine precursors to China’s sworn enemy, India.
A suspicious person might conclude that these ‘medications’ are intended to sap the vitality of any country that is in the way of China’s plans for world hegemony...

I'd heard way deep down on a thread, or maybe another site, someone who knows "dot not feather" Indian doctors here, or Indians with MD relatives over on the subcontinent rather than in the continental US...
that the US dot-not-feather-MDs had persuaded the over-there MDs, to stop using Ivermectin /HCQ-Zinc, and that cases over-there suddenly spiked in consequence. But the MDs-over-there have now said, "F that S" and gone back to the cheap OTC drugs, so they expect new cases to plummet.
All rumor, your mileage may vary.

Where the article says “mutating in the nose...” shouldn’t it say “replicating”?
