Pfizer announced Tuesday that a study found that its oral, antiviral COVID-19 pill Paxlovid reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89 percent in high-risk patients.

Pfizer said that the 2,246 patients in the study were given the pill within three days of symptom onset, adding that they had mild to moderate symptoms as well as an underlying medical condition or an increased risk of becoming severely infected by COVID-19.

The company said the results have been shared with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a part of the company's request for emergency use authorization. Pfizer requested emergency use authorization from the FDA for Paxlovid in mid-November.

With all these looney tune mask wearing covid lovers out there, are they going to pop this pill every time they have a sniffle?

I can see local and state governments forcing you to carry these pills on your person 24/7.

Add a little viagra to it and pop goes the weasel.

Sure it does. How many times have we been lied to by Big Pharma and the FDA, CDC?

After what we’ve been through with these idiotic vaccines, you think I believe anything these pharmaceutical companies are saying? Pray tell, how many people DIED from the pills?

PfizerMECTIN......Just a guess.

[a real Sheila]

weren’t we told this about Merck’s pill several weeks ago and then another study showed it to be barely effective?

Who is running this drug testing rodeo?

I guess the gubmint is now figuring out they’d better finally release a drug treatment to keep people out of the hospital since they have run a large percentage of healthcare workers away from the hospitals with the mandates.

EVERYTHING you wanted to know about Paxlovid and won’t understand /s Just skip over the stuff you can’t understand and it is an informative article.

How biologically similar is this therapeutic to Ivermectin?

[Shery]

A study shows.....? Are we gullible enough to accept this? A real study is taken over years, and over various segments of the population, etc. This is another rollout of an unproved drug that will have no mea culpas nor any responsibility for the deaths and VAERS events. It wasn’t more than 4-6 weeks ago that they were disappointed with the results so far. All of a sudden it’s viable and safe? Not so fast!

I know that Bill Gates is awaiting his billions in revenue from this, but he has way more than enough. If he had ANY conscience at all, he’d be offering to help those injured by these vaccines!

Because Pfizer would never lie. 🙄

It may be the rebellious side of me, but I prefer the evil horse medicine on the dark side of big pharma

[SaxxonWoods]

What’s in this pill? Is it the same as the shots but just in pill form?

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Pfizermectin costs more and is more profitable.

[Thommas]

I have to wonder how close “Paxlovid” is, chemically and stereoscopically, to the composition of Ivermectin or HCQ?

[TNoldman]

It’s called Pfizermectin. It will be available at your local Farm Store soon.

[ridesthemiles]

New pill is BASED ON IVERMECTIN.....

[T.B. Yoits]

Is there anyone who would believe any statement from Pfizer?

Long before COVID-19⁸⁴ Pfizer paid the largest criminal fine in history:
