Apparently bots are making their way through substack. Please know that people should not be looking for sexy times in my posts, and if they are I assure you there are far better sites to do so!

So please if anyone sees anyone linking anything that seems suspicious please be aware and do not click any links. As it comes to anything I link they will be from credible websites but please stay smart and let me know if any bots appear. Thanks!

FDA voted 13-10 to approve EUA for Molnupiravir. At least the article does address some of the safety concerns about mutagenicity (especially in persons unlikely to die, like most people): https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/95944?xid=NL_breakingnewsalert_2021-11-30&eun=g1956947d0r&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MolnuadcommAlert_113021&utm_term=NL_Daily_Breaking_News_Active

Given Molnupiravir's mechanism of action, I'm not at all upset to hear that it doesn't work very well and hopefully won't get an EUA.

I'm nearly done going through the FDA's meeting on Tuesday. It's quite horrifying some of the stuff they mentioned, although it's a big reassuring that many of the sentiments I brought up were brought up by the committee. However, that makes it even more concerning that they voted to allow for EUA. Whether or not the FDA goes through with it we will have to see.

Great insight- and U am not surprised. I would love to go over their data if they would release it. Looks like they are doing another trial on housemates of those diagnosed with Covid as a prophylactic: https://trialstransparency.merckclinicaltrials.com/Study.aspx?id=4482-013&&kw=molnupiravir

Thanks for linking that trial! I've become apathetic to these studies that try to show new drugs being better as early treatment as compared to doing...nothing. It's hard to see these studies as being anything more than saying that early treatment is the best way to go at this virus.
