Molnupiravir (Lagevrio in the UK) is an untested, non-peer reviewed drug produced by Merck that costs around £500 a course and has been approved for emergency usage in the UK. There are now literally no regulatory or scientific impediments preventing the drug industry from rushing its products to market. The drug companies are declaring their own products safe and everyone else is just saying, fine. Then the government sweeps in with a taxpayer windfall and covid has paid out once again.
I mean great, if this thing actually works and provides more benefit to what has been available, tested, properly approved and demonstrated as effective in the field. But to think people have been denied alternatives that could have worked for them just to preserve the market for much more expensive and untested emergency drugs is shameful and shows exactly how much the state and their corporate masters care about public health.
Meanwhile Italy has quietly announced the death toll FROM covid at just under 7K, as opposed to the unscientific and fearmongering 130K WITH covid BS. That's even lower than real scientists estimated last year. A 12% estimate turned out to be around 5-6%. In the UK the estimates were around 12% and in the USA 6-7%, so when science regains a foothold it's going to show covid as being equivalent to the flu and dangerous to the same target group. Criminals like Fauci will have known this all along, considering he created the damn thing. It was never about health.
