Merck’s New Covid-19 Pill: Molnupiravir, Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2021
- After almost two years, there’s a new, easy-to-take Covid-19 pill treatment. Merck’s molnupiravir drug could be available as soon as the end of the year if it gets authorized by the FDA. It would help make Covid-19 a more manageable disease, marking a pivotal turning point in the pandemic.

Hey! Thanks for watching. Would you consider taking the above Covid-19 pill treatment? Why or why not?
No. Because Merck has made lots of dangerous medication in the past. Wouldnt trust them one bit.
If it gets approved,yes.
I would consider taking it. It would be good to report on why the development of this pill was delayed and the politics that prevented that. For instance reporting on the role of Rick Bright in stopping government funding to accelerate the development of the drug. That would be some real and balanced reporting.
Let me answer by saying: the handling of Covid to date has defied anything science I know. This med should have been released like mid last year. The vax are more complex and complicated to make than meds like Molnupiravir. Why have all scientists been against meds and promoting vaccines?! Like someone mentioned in the this comments section, see the coverage this video has had a week after it's posted.
Having said this: meds make more sense to me than vax. YES, 101% I'd go for the med, rather than the vax.
Of course. After combing through the studies and finding out the costs and if there will be insurance coverage.
Since UA-cam couldn’t do the promotion, WSJ decided to do so. Good that this reaches to many more individuals out there
It's been 5 days n only 1k views,why can't youtube recommend this to more individuals
very good question
Because UA-cam algo loves stuff that makes people obsessive and go down insane rabbit holes.
Something that isn't conspiracy doesn't make you click for 4 hrs. The algo doesn't think it'll make youtube more money and so the algo doesn't bump it.
None of this takes place with a human involved.
@@letsburn00 sad reality only to boost ad revenue 👎
@@arvin_singh The world actually is very lucky that Flat earth exists. It is a conspiracy that 99.9% of people think is silly, but it is mostly politically neutral. Yet it teaches us how the algorithm will send people down rabbit holes of insanity, just so it can on average make $3/month per average UA-camr instead of $2.8. No politics are to blame, no crypto-fascism or "wokeness army" or whatever you think the other side of politics are doing (they aren't, the other poor people arent out to get you) just a faceless company wringing money out of us.
How did flat earth, plandemic, JFK Jr for VP and adronocrome go viral? UA-cam let their computers decide what to tell us. And the computers went insane.
What I find weird is that ivermectin that is made by Mark is banned in the US but yet this one is not that does not make any sense? 😡
Any disclosure or conflicts of interest in this piece?
like tamiflu this is only for well off people who have a PCP easily reachable. Otherwise you wont get it since it's not available once you are super sick and in hospital
Mr. James C. Smith is the CEO of Reuters, he also is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Pfizer.2) Mr. Stephen Hahn is the former FDA commissioner in charge of regulating Moderna, he is also the current Chief Medical officer of flagship-Pioneering the venture capital firm behind Moderna..?3) Mr. Scott Gottlieb is the former FDA commissioner in charge of regulating Pfizer, he is also the current member of the Board of Directors of Pfizer.
Just got covid for the first time. Asked the dr if taking otc medicine would help with fever symptoms. He prescribed me this. Lost smell/taste my second day and but day 5 I had it back.
The reason why this channel is screwed by UA-cam is due to its biases. It deletes any reply they do not like.
Ola,
youre documentaries are treaure trove.

so my mother, who is 95 myself who is 60 and my son, who is 33 all have Covid. Both Mum and I were put on antivirals. mum only had symptoms for a day. My symptoms are lingering, it tends to come in Waves but my son who is unvaccinated and no antivirals have the exact same symptoms as Mum and I so I really don’t see that these antivirals have done much at all….. I was told by my doctor that this particular brand has hardly any interactions with other drugs that you might be on, but it is not as strong as the other anti-viral that you can get here in Australia.
i got covid 7 days ago and they gave me this pill i am on my 5 day today
Can you imagine if they announce this is Ivermectin based once people are using it?
This medication is an anti-viral. Ivermectin is a de-wormer and antiparasitic. Totally different categories of medications.
The two drugs have a completely different mechanism of action with Molnupiravir creating mutations in viral replication and Ivermectin suppressing viral replication temporarily, each for the duration of treatment. I am aware however, that you're trying to make more of a political point here, rather than a medical or scientific one.
@@meanwhileinamerica992 yeah, was a joke written a year ago btw
Imagine that I got the vaccine and I still got Covid, huh?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Shame this didn't get more promotion a year or so back it's almost as though there were political reasons to deny it's advantages back then.
There were people working on this last yr. But it takes ages for new drugs to get approved. Getting one from experimental to preliminary approved in less than a yr is very fast.
It's a therapeutic not a vaccine

@@zachariahmagallan5738 honestly I think it's the vaccine in a pill form. They are definitely being sneaky.
Something tells me this is gonna be $$$. Shot is free
The medicine didn’t cost me anything
Wtf!? 3:38
Viruses tend to adapt to these drugs very fast. This is why HIV is treated with 3 of these at the same time. Nevertheless this is great to have but it probably won't last long
So they won’t take the jab but pills are ok?
The jab isn’t a treatment for Covid and it doesn’t prevent you from getting Covid.
@@mswhoeverwhatever Nobody ever claimed the vaccine prevents you from getting covid. It trains your immune system to respond to covid without you having to be infected beforehand. It reduces the likelihood of catching covid, significantly reduces the symptoms of covid if you do get infected, and significantly reduces your likelihood of dying from covid. This pill doesn't prevent you from getting covid either, and does not replace a vaccine in any way.
@@olpporsetty another appellation would have made more sense to me, coz the explanation you just provided contradicts the very definition of what a vax is (or at least should be). And it's weird that people have found that kinda normal and acceptable.
@@owleeva What did I say that you think contradicts with the intended purpose of a vaccine?
A bunch of people refuse the vaccine but will take monoclonal antibodies. Which is just the vaccine with extra steps and 100 times more expensive
Good for Merk, bad for Pfizer
This is not nearly as effective at keeping you out of the hospital as Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and requires starting to take the drug at the right when it’s not too late. Also, this drug was tested on less than 1,000 people. Pfizer and Moderna had 70,000 people combined in their phase 3 clinical trials. But I see why people would like this new drug: because even though it’s experimental and the long term side effects are unknown it does not have “vaccine” in its name. For some that will be a huge selling point.
This didn’t age well
Democrats it's just another horse deworming pill. Oh wait Gavin Newsom took it. 🤣
Pill. Big pharma

Sounds like IVERMECTINE!

@@cornpop8570 Unfortunately I have family who are way way up in BIG PHARMA and this like all things for big Pharma is about money and only money.
We can get Ivermectine here in Chile over the counter and it is cheap too. Jim
