Merck and Ridgeback’s Molnupiravir. The Oral COVID-19 medicine

Perseverance The Second

With the UK approving the antiviral COVID-19 pill and the EMA seeking to expediate the authorisation it's worth opening a discussion on the merits of the pill.

I don't know if this will gather much interest. Unless it's some agricultural product being promoted by a comedian on his podcast or some stuff you might find around the house or under the sick, I don't think people are going to be very interested. Scientifically tested medicine that has been shown to work just isn't as interesting as the whacky stuff that gets promoted by people who's field of expertise isn't medicine.

I hope it works out, but I wouldn't be inclined to take a mutagen with no long-term safety data, myself.
