One day after the authorization of the Pfizer pill, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for Merck’s molnupiravir antiviral pill for the treatment of COVID-19 infection on Thursday.
“Today’s authorization provides an additional treatment option against the COVID-19 virus in the form of a pill that can be taken orally. Molnupiravir is limited to situations where other FDA-authorized treatments for COVID-19 are inaccessible or are not clinically appropriate and will be a useful treatment option for some patients with COVID-19 at high risk of hospitalization or death. As new variants of the virus continue to emerge, it is crucial to expand the country’s arsenal of COVID-19 therapies using emergency use authorization, while continuing to generate additional data on their safety and effectiveness,” said Patrizia Cavazzoni, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Molnupiravir is available by prescription only and should be initiated as soon as possible after diagnosis of COVID-19 and within five days of symptom onset. It is not authorized for patients younger than 18 years of age because molnupiravir may affect bone and cartilage growth, said in the press release.
Merck Pharmaceuticals is the same company to identify Ivermectin in the 1970s during a veterinary drug screening. Some people online are claiming that Merck’s molnupiravir is a rebranded version of Ivermectin.
“When absorbed into the body, molnupiravir is broken down into one of the building blocks that make up RNA.Early studies showed the small, synthetic molecule was potent against viruses known as RNA viruses, which use a genetic material similar to DNA,” USA Today reported.
There are concerns that there are persistent side-effects with mutagenic molnupiravir. Mutagenic drugs can cause either birth defects or cancer.

Commentary:
Hah! Merck and Pfizer produce molecular analogs of Ivermectin which has been successful in treating Wuhan Covid-19 virus and its mutations Delta and Omicron.
So rather than use the tried and true fairly economically available Ivermectin Big Pharma has given us a new product that costs $700.00 per regimen treatment as compared to $20.00.
Sounds logical to me (sarc). Why use a tried and true pharmaceutical when you can create a similar molecular analog and charge an exorbitant price and get the same results while in the meantime, we can throw the possibility of cancer that Ivermectin has not shown previously.
