More COVID antiviral drugs are coming

Never before in human history was a new, highly infectious virus defeated so fast! Remember e.g. HIV/AIDS, it took 1-2 decades!

It is long overdue to return to normal life before the pandemic since the beginning or latest March of this year! There is simply no justification anymore for the continuation of draconian measures taken by paternalistic governments unless the true aim is to fight so called climate change, the greatest demagoguery of our time! But this is another subject well covered here (see labels Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion)

"... On 4 November, the United Kingdom became the first country to approve molnupiravir, which was developed by Merck ... Ridgeback Biotherapeutics ... The approval came just over a month after the companies announced that the antiviral drug, which will be branded Lagevrio, halved the risk of hospitalization in people with mild or moderate forms of COVID-19. A day after the UK approval, Pfizer, based in New York City, announced that its antiviral drug Paxlovid cut hospitalizations by 89%. ..."

COVID antiviral pills: what scientists still want to know Drugs such as molnupiravir and Paxlovid could change the course of the pandemic if clinical trial results hold up in the real world.
