Why is the FDA pushing out these "Covid pills" for emergency authorization (NOT approved) when the testing is so scant and highly suspect? The India trials included patients with moderate infection and Merck's pill failed. But apparently it works fine if you have the sniffles. WTF is the FDA doing here? There are better safe alternatives already available and cheap. These pills pills need WAY MORE testing before they are released for global use.
