I find it interesting that the company that brought us ivermectin is now bringing us an antiviral to fight covid.


Too bad that ivermectin is useless against covid 19 and probably there was no data available to Merck for coming up with an antiviral..............


Oh well.


But the new stuff, probably has a similar mode of action, and it’s only 700 times more expensive than ivermectin.



Now NIH approved or studying. Go figure. A bit more than halfway down.
