It sounds like that pill variant is an anti-viral treatment, not a vaccine, though. Still an excellent development, but it would complement vaccination rather than competing with it.

I think it's a necessary development as it might help anti-vaccine people.

Huh, surely only a little subset of that group would refuse injection and agree to take a pill?

You can probably only make them take it when you ground the pill up in their BBQ sauce or Kale juice or something similar...

No, but even though they don't want to get vaccinated while they are healthy, most of them have no issue taking a pill after they get sick.

Only a small portion of them are nutjobs and most are just unnecessarily cautious.

Nope, the main reason for being anti-vaxx seriously is being (subconsciously) scared of needles. These people have no problem with taking pills lol.

At this point many of them believe that anyone with vaccine induced immunity is a spike protein factory which they believe causes infertility, the only solution being to socially distance from vaccined people forever and wear masks

(This is hilarious and so obviously a counterintel campaign, the FBI and others have a history[1] and mandate of infiltrating groups and steering them into compliance with more absurd information
