Merck asks US FDA to authorize promising anti-COVID pill

An antiviral pill that people could take at home to reduce their symptoms and speed recovery could prove groundbreaking, easing the crushing caseload on U.S. hospitals and helping to curb outbreaks in poorer countries with weak health care systems. It would also bolster the two-pronged approach to the pandemic: treatment, by way of medication, and prevention, primarily through vaccinations.



I am Sure the Republicans will be against it

WASHINGTON (AP) — Drugmaker Merck asked U.S. regulators Monday to authorize its pill for treating COVID-19 in what would add an entirely new and easy-to-use weapon to the world’s arsenal against the pandemic.
If cleared by the Food and Drug Administration — a decision that could come in a matter of weeks — it would be the first pill shown to treat the illness. All other FDA-backed treatments against COVID-19 require an IV or injection.

... only dumb Republicans (and Democrats) whose world view is tainted by personal politics and denial of medical science would be against it.

The rest of the world will race to embrace such a breakthrough.

Hold the phone. Merck is an American company. The USA is most medically advanced country in the history of the world. Enjoy the benefits now because liberals will soon pull us down to the level of one of the European countries or even worse...Canada. No disrespect to Canada but you were caught with your pants down when Covid hit. Then you had your hand out like a bum begging for lunch money.

Hold the Phone it's a Worldwide Company Back to School for YOU

PS COVID19 is worldwide problem

In 1891, Georg(e) Merck established himself in the United States and set up Merck & Co. with Theodore Weicker in New York. Merck & Co. was confiscated following the First World War and set up as an independent company in the United States.[19][20] Today, the US company, which operates as Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD) outside the U.S. and Canada, has about 86,000 employees (December 2011) in 120 countries. It is one of the top 5 pharmaceutical companies worldwide, larger than its German ancestor, which employs around 40,700 people in 67 countries (December 2011). While Merck in Darmstadt is the legal successor of the original Merck and retains the rights to the name "Merck" in all countries except the U.S. and Canada, it is sometimes known as the "German Merck" or "Merck Darmstadt" in North America. The company was formerly also referred to as "E. Merck" (Emanuel Merck).

Is that right? They'll be happy to hear that because they won't be affected by Biden's historic tax increase on business. Ford and GM do business worldwide, too.


I hope you're playing dumb and it's not for real.

Do you even read what you post anymore? Or is your main goal to simply "disrespect" everyone you consider liberal?
You are SO over the top it is comical. You whine that people won't answer questions you ask, but are too cowardly to answer questions put to you.
I'm sure you will assume that you have upset me, but that couldn't be further from the truth. As I have stated multiple times, you amuse me to no end.
Anyway, carry on with your comedy act please.

Sorry, is there a point in all of the gibberish?

I lost a lot of respect for you after your insistence that there has never been a real communist country.

So, you haven't looked up the definition of communism yet? When you do, we can continue this conversation.

I wasn't trying to make any point. But it is really funny that you somehow are attempting to take credit for companies that reside in your country. Companies that would, at the drop of a hat, move their headquarters to another country to avoid paying taxes in your country.
