Pfizer Is Now Developing A Twice-Per-Day COVID Pill That Must Be Taken Alongside Vaccines
2021-09-02
[NationalFile] Pharmaceutical megacorporation pfizer is now developing a COVID pill that is meant to be taken alongside the COVID vaccines that have already made the company a staggering amount of money. The new pill is expected to be released by the end of the year and will be required to be taken twice per day.

"Success against #COVID19 will likely require both vaccines & treatments," Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said on Wednesday. "We’re pleased to share we’ve started a Phase 2/3 study of our oral antiviral candidate-specifically designed to combat SARS-CoV-2-in non-hospitalized, low-risk adults."

Pfizer also put out a press release the same week that proclaimed, "If successful, [the drug] has the potential to address a significant unmet medical need, providing patients with a novel oral therapy that could be prescribed at the first sign of infection, without requiring hospitalization." The company described the drug as an "investigational orally administered protease inhibitor antiviral therapy designed specifically to combat COVID—19 — in non—hospitalized, symptomatic adult participants who have a confirmed diagnosis of SARS—CoV—2 infection and are not at increased risk of progressing to severe illness, which may lead to hospitalization or death."

Media corporations have already expressed excitement about the new pill, and Pfizer is so confident that the pill will be swiftly approved and mandated by governments that it has already started a production line before the end of clinical trials.

Other companies are also hard at work on COVID pills to be taken indefinitely while governments and media corporations focus on COVID.

In Singapore, a 16-year-old boy was ruled to be eligible for a $225,000 settlement this week after suffering a myocarditis cardiac arrest event that doctors ruled was likely in response to receiving his first dose of the Pfizer BionTech vaccine, with the Ministry of Health stating, "The myocarditis was likely a serious adverse event arising from the COVID-19 vaccine he received, which might have been aggravated by his strenuous lifting of weights and his high consumption of caffeine through energy drinks and supplements."
Dya think??

#12  Trump should - if only to get back to them for deliberately holding off announcing the vaccine until after the election.

#9  Looks like a pill to treat the disease after you have a confirmed case, prescribed by a doctor.

Like hydroxychloroquine, or Ivermectin. Or aspirin.

#8  Sort of a Vitamin D+HCL adult Flintstone Deal, but instead of fruity flavors its like wine flavors?

Except for whatever is found in the Chinese Silicon Dioxide, of course.

CALCULATE C-19 ODDS OF INFECTION Based on common factors.

ODDS SINCE 01/14/2020 (598 days CDC Data)
INFECTION = 121,018 in 1 Million or 12.10% or 1.2 in 10
DEATH = 1,980 in 1 Million or about 2/10ths of 1%

ODDS OF BECOMING INFECTED LAST 7 DAYS
3,444 in 1 Million (1,147,649 / 333,267,823) or about 3.5/10ths of 1%

ODDS OF DYING IF INFECTED IN THE LAST 7 DAYS
24 in 1 Million or 0.0024000000000000002 of 1%.

TOTAL CDC NOW CLAIMED COVID-19 US DEATHS = 660,013/598 days using basic math =1,104 average deaths per day x 365 days per year = 402,960 per year (2020-2021)

Remember of the COVID-19 CDC claimed deaths (598 day total data)
485,290 of the 660k were shown to be 65+ Note: This is not counting remaining 129k+/- likely due to preexisting Health Reasons.

Covid-19 is likely #3 on the 2020 Death List. Likely further down for 2021 as the Infection to Death ratio has dramatically widened since 2020.
