Big Pharma pushing new Covid pill

....
​  ​As it turns out, all the scientists and doctors who insisted that Merck's "revolutionary" COVID drug molnupiravir is extremely safe weren't faithfully adhering to "the science" after all. Because according to a report 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.​  ​
​  ​Dr. Shuntai Zhou, a scientist at the Swanstrom Lab at UNC, said "there is a concern that this will cause long-term mutation effects, even cancer."
​  ​Zhou says that he is certain that the drug will integrate itself into the DNA of mammalian hosts. "Biochemistry won’t lie," he says. "This drug will be incorporated in the DNA."
​  ​Merck hasn't yet released any data from its animal studies, but the scientists believe that it would take long-term studies to show that the drug is truly totally safe.

Big Pharma’s Latest Assault on Our Health

Paul Craig Roberts
October 11, 2021

The criminal organization, Merck, announced today that they filed an “emergency use authorization” request with the company’s agent, the FDA, for an oral antiviral medicine for treating Covid-19. Former FDA commissioner and shill for Big Pharma, Scott Gottlieb, lobbied for the emergency use authorization on CNBC, declaring the untested pill to be “a profound game changer.”

What bullshit! For the entire length of the orchestrated “pandemic” there have been two safe and effective treatments—HCQ and Ivermectin—tested all over the world by billions of doses for 60 years. Yet Big Pharma had its agents—FDA, NIH, CDC, WHO, and the presstitutes—block the use of the known effective treatments and maintain a campaign of disinformation against the inexpensive cures.
