I don't trust Pfizer in any case. But interesting at least. I think it needs far more study before this is simply introduced into the wild. But what do I know. We have survived for 2m years without this. I'm sure we can be fine without it.

Sure, we survived as a species, but certainly not as individuals. We see plenty of evidence of genetic bottlenecks where the human population was reduced to small numbers, quite possibly due to disease. Just within the historical period, there are legions of plagues with extremely high mortality rates, including nearly the entire native population of North America after contact with Europeans. And let’s not forget antibiotics and near every lifesaving piece of medical knowledge we have developed over the last few thousand years. It’s your choice to refuse medical care, but don’t assume the rest of us want to go back to the caves and the hunt. Rapid drug discovery is an extremely powerful medical technology and I 100% welcome it for this disease and all futures ones.

  But don't you think it's even a little suspicious other countries have been administering another infamous antiviral that happens to be a generic drug? I mean it's at least a coincidence that pfizer is somehow the one doing all the heavy lifting here... are they that good of a drug company? Aren't there other doctors, virologists, etc out there? I just feel people are too quick to accept a for-profit mega-corporation as the defacto source of all things covid cure.
