It seems the wonder is that Merck thinks it can push this drug on a public that is growing more wary by the day of Covid narratives and mandates. There are three hits on Molnupiravir today:
First, from Barron’s:
"Proceed With Caution At Your Own Peril" - Merck's COVID 'Super Drug' Poses Serious Health Risks, Scientists Warn
(snip) scientists and doctors who insisted that Merck's "revolutionary" COVID drug molnupiravir is extremely safe weren't faithfully adhering to "the science” (Snip) published Thursday by Barron's, some scientists are worried that the drug - which purportedly cut hospitalizations in half during a study that was cut short - could cause cancer or birth defects.

This flu is the culling of black and white Americans. No one else has to take it. It's working.

No worries for Merck: they're immune to lawsuits from the shot.

This one is the oral capsule (daily), #2 - but I wonder if they enjoy the same blanket immunity from lawsuits that the clot shot does.

The drug was developed at Emory University, and appears to have activity against several viruses.
It has been slammed as dangerous by someone who ought to know: "In May 2020, Rick Bright filed a whistleblower complaint, alleging that the Trump administration ignored his early warnings about the COVID-19 pandemic, pressured him to inappropriately fast-track unproven drugs, and illegally retaliated against him by removing him from his role as head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) in April 2020."
But the drug did very well in clinical trials (eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8219109/), and may be the best small molecule outpatient treatment for moderately severe COVID. The FDA will scrutinize safety concerns pretty carefully.

The 3 hits are similar to listening Joe Biden - dangerous.

Vaccine Karen sure has a lot of instant answers for anything negative about pharmaceutical companies. Must have been a carnival barker before this employment opportunity.

No matter what the problem, Big Pharma can come up with some new concoction that will "cure" it but only at a very high price. Repurpose drugs? You've got to be kidding! We don't make money doing that!

The first info I found on it in a very cursory search indicated that several other drug companies had abandoned that class of drugs because they are mutagenic.....cause mutations. As in dangerous as heck.
And there sits ivermectin, 3.7 BILLION doses administered safely world wide, and cheap and effective at PREVENTING and CURING the Wuhan flu. Yet denigrated as "horse medicine" by the corrupt CDC and FDA.

I warned my oldest step daughter against these vaccines and urged her to research the differences between them before getting jabbed as I knew she would ultimately be vaccinated. Why? Because she wanted to go on a cruise. They’re leaving today. I hope this trip is worth it and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed in her.

Not too many years ago fluoroquinolones were trumpeted as the latest, greatest. most wonderful, safest antibiotics ever. But things began to turn up. The first was ruptured Achilles tendon. But then there were more. Actually a rather broad constellation of Adverse Drug Reactions. A handful of them were finally removed from the market after settlements were made with damaged patients. But some of them continued to be prescribed for everything from UTIs to sinus infections. Pretty heavy medication for these conditions, as at least one - ciprofloxacn - had been developed to combat anthrax and also the hospital pneumonia. As of 2013 the pages of adverse reaction reports numbered 48. There were successive Black Box warnings that doctors who saw them ignored. The wording re the adverse reactions included the word “irreversible”. Meanwhile Dr. Beatrice Goulomb at UCSD saw a connection between the cipro packs given to military personnel headed to the Iraq war. Intended to combat a possible anthrax attack, some apparently used them prophylactically and came home with what was called Gulf War Syndrome. Goulomb has for some years conducted a study of those damaged by fluoroquinolones, and especially the most widely prescribed ciprofloxacin. Why do I care? I was irreversibly damaged by it.
I am not a physician, but the person who repeatedly prescribed it to me was my primary for 28 years. Noted in our medically blessed community and the larger community that includes USC and UCLA. She used an antibiotic that was already in serious trouble for overuse. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s still prescribing it.
So, I don’t swallow whole the obvious medical professionals who come on forums like this one and beat the drum for the vaccines and the pills that have never even been fully approved. Not that that constitutes total validation of their safety. Anyone with half an ounce of medical knowledge that the reactions that occur when therapeutics are used on the general public often tell a very sad tale - as in the case of the fluoroquinolones and the Covid experimental shots. If they are in fact doctors, their giving medical advice in such a wholesale way is unethical and irresponsible. I wonder if they pay attention to real pros like Drs. Peter McCullough and Robert Malone?

So, you have covid and take this pill.
For a few days it allows the covid virus to mutate and live.
Then it begins to kill some of the covid virus.
The rest of the mutated virus might die of its own weakness, or, it could be stronger than the original virus and kill you then others you infect.
Why?
Just stick to ivermectin, folks.

Meanwhile, we have therapeutics the covid-porn afflicted can not even give a cursory glance.
So we ask again, what is the real reason the central government must get bigger an stronger and more authoritarian and dictatorial, and increasingly threatening rather than openly pursuing every possible remedy, palliative, cure.
One thing is sure, as history teaches us by endless examples, the authoritarian ruler always grows more unyielding, more ruthless, and totalitarian. We have become subjects, we should be the authority, not a centralized bureaucracy dominated by totalitarian thugs, childish academics, and arrogant snobs.
