A comment on Pfizer's oral Covid-19 antiviral cuts hospitalization, death by 85%. Parent comment
Why would an anti parasitic drug exhibit any measurable response? Yet, it did.
That is when I realized that science was, if not dead, then severely wounded.
No interest at all, from the “scientific” people.
Now, it turns out we probably know why; it happened to (probably accidentally) be a potent protease inhibitors - and that happened to be important.
We could have found this out a year ago, and begun exploiting this attack vector.
But, no: everyone who found this interesting and worthy of further study was derided and threatened with job losses.
What a shit-show.
