Merck’s New COVID-19 Pill Could Accidentally Trigger A New Variant, Experts Warn
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25272506 United States 12/25/2021 03:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Merck’s New COVID-19 Pill Could Accidentally Trigger A New Variant, Experts Warn [link to dailycaller.com (secure)] molnupiravir, has mostly concerned the risk it might pose to pregnant women. But some experts worry it could also lead to the outbreak of a new variant of the virus it’s designed to treat. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization to two antiviral pills to treat COVID-19 this week, one from Pfizer (paxlovid) and another from Merck (molnupiravir). The Pfizer EUA was generally lacking in controversy, but the authorization of molnupiravir was far more contentious. The FDA’s Antimicrobial Drugs Advisory Committee (ADAC) voted at the end of November to recommend authorization of molnupiravir, but it was by a narrow 13-10 margin. Even the members who voted in favor did so with qualifiers: some said the pill shouldn’t be given to pregnant women, and others were skeptical of its efficacy. “I don’t think I would want to take this drug, not knowing the effect it could have on my unborn child,” Dr. Roblena Walker, CEO of public health non-profit EMAGAHA Inc. and ADAC member, said at the time. She voted yes. Some of the members who voted against recommending authorization expressed more serious concerns, that rather than help solve the pandemic with its 30% efficacy rate, molnupiravir could cause the breakout of a new variant. Molnupiravir works by triggering mutations in the virus of an infected individual, and those mutations go on to eventually kill the infection, Dr. Peter Weina told the Daily Caller. Weina, an infectious disease specialist and director of the Defense Health Agency, is an ADAC member who voted against recommending authorization. “The drug works by mutating the organism, and this is an organism in which we have a lot of mutations creating problems for us already,” Weina said. “Just like influenza and just like a lot of viruses, there’s a baseline relatively high mutation rate in these viruses. The fact is that most mutations are probably lethal to the organism, but a couple of them are going to end up being beneficial for the organism, and we’ve seen that with the successive different variants that have come out.” In other words, while the overwhelming majority of mutations triggered by molnupiravir will do their job and kill the virus, its not inconceivable that one of those mutations could be beneficial to COVID-19 and lead to another dangerous variant. Dementia Joe's regime will not see this one coming, either.

( prob IVM, lol) is not Molnupiravir ( brand name Lagavrio) which is by Merck This Merck pill now APPROVED sounds like a disaster waiting to be released. Fauci calls it “ impressive” However Dr Mercola reports: In thd Merck drug trial, the placebo outperformed the pill Drs warn the pill which works by causing virus mutation could affect other human cells, thus not approved for kids Pill could also drive the mutation and release of even more dangerous treatment resistant variants It “may” reduce hospital risk by 30% The Pfizer pill claims 90% effect So WTH is the Merck pill even being approved? BTW it is loaded with warnings to be avoided by children, pregnant women, men and women trying to achieve pregnancy….sure sounds like DNA genetic concerns Mercola report [link to freedomfirstnetwork.com (secure)] Last Edited by Dodger007 on 12/25/2021 07:18 PM You can count on America to do the right thing after exhausting every other alternative."
