Default Heard about the new covid drug?

Scientific study reported this drug prevents hospitalization if taken soon enough after symptoms appear. It also lowers the death rate of those who are hospitalized by 50% over current results because it eliminates the need for respirators. Results were so positive they've stopped testing against a placebo because they know it means condemning people to die.

First heard about it a week or so ago but haven't seen any confirmation. Perhaps news of it is being censored so as not to interfere with "vaccine" profits? Don't know, but I've been keeping an eye out for more stories all this time. Finally today I saw someone talking about a new covid drug. Drug was not named but probably the same drug. No further details on efficacy, just a report that a company has developed a new covid drug and intends to market it with a >700% markup. Cost to manufacture is ~14$ per dose but would be sold to us for nearly $800.

Oh well, good news for rich people and all those politicians with medical investments I suppose

Heard about it earlier this week.

$14 to $800 is a bit more than 700%.
closer to 5700%

I'm sure by the time the MSM reports it, it will be a 70000% mark up.


Not sure what they've done specifically, but two family members in their mid to late 80s were admitted for covid this week, and both seem to be improving.
Treatments are clearly getting better.

Glad to hear they're recovering

Odd to hear so little about this new drug. Should be the biggest news story and have everyone who's scared of the china flu jumping for joy. Has to be some major media manipulation happening. Who would want this story suppressed? And why?
