Pfizer says COVID-19 pill cut hospital, death risk by 90%

On Friday, Pfizer released preliminary results of its study of 775 adults. Patients who received the company’s drug along with another antiviral shortly after showing COVID-19 symptoms had an 89% reduction in their combined rate of hospitalization or death after a month, compared to patients taking a dummy pill. Fewer than 1% of patients taking the drug needed to be hospitalized and no one died. In the comparison group, 7% were hospitalized and there were seven deaths.

“We were hoping that we had something extraordinary, but it’s rare that you see great drugs come through with almost 90% efficacy and 100% protection for death,” said Dr. Mikael Dolsten, Pfizer’s chief scientific officer, in an interview.

Study participants were unvaccinated, with mild-to-moderate COVID-19, and were considered high risk for hospitalization due to health problems like obesity, diabetes or heart disease. Treatment began within three to five days of initial symptoms, and lasted for five days. Patients who received the drug earlier showed slightly better results, underscoring the need for speedy testing and treatment.

...

Although Merck’s pill is further along in the U.S. regulatory process, Pfizer’s drug could benefit from a safety profile that is more familiar to regulators with fewer red flags. While pregnant women were excluded from the Merck trial due to a potential risk of birth defects, Pfizer’s drug did not have any similar restrictions. The Merck drug works by interfering with the coronavirus’ genetic code, a novel approach to disrupting the virus.

Pfizer’s drug is part of a decades-old family of antiviral drugs known as protease inhibitors, which revolutionized the treatment of HIV and hepatitis C. The drugs block a key enzyme which viruses need to multiply in the human body.

This is really, really fantastic news. Hopefully approval is going to happen quickly so we can save lives. I know that there are plenty of people (22% of people ages 12 and up) who have not had at least one jab, and their lives are as worthy of saving as those of us in the majority who have chosen to be vaccinated.

I agree but not for the reason you do. 
 

You see, despite me being far to the right of Trump, De Santis, and Ed Durr, I have been very concerned about the emotional health of those among the  woke left, far left, and progressive left who have embraced Big Pharma’s Covid vaccines and  Covid tests.  
 

I am very worried that the internal cognitive dissonance of these folks supporting Big Pharma’s tens of billions if not 100s of billions of dollars of annual profit from Covid vaccines and tests is going to trigger a pandemic of mental illness. 
 

Now that Big Pharma has a non vaccination approach to the Covid pandemic, I am relieved that a likely  mental health pandemic has been averted.  The aforementioned group of folks can go back to hating Big Pharma, this time because now Big Pharma is undermining the mass vaccination campaigns especially the vaccine mandates.  
 

How dare Big Pharma save lives of people who aren’t vaccinated!

So Pfizer/BioNtech produced a drug that they (falsely) claimed was 95% effective.  Now they have produced another drug that is LESS effective (and I seriously question then 89% figure when the 95% was so skewed), and we are supposed to rejoice?

 

Yawn.

Once you do that it all becomes clear.  

Truer words were never uttered.  What's sad is that so many people have no idea of what happened before they became teenagers.  Or borned.

I'm sorry, but why is it relevant that Jacques Attali is Jewish, as is pointed out in that graphic? Where did that graphic come from? Profession Gendarme is a French conspiracy website, btw: https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/qui-est-derriere-le-site-profession-gendarmecom-aux-tendances-complotistes-20210526_6ULTMA6IKBG6XIPILN7A7Z7D5M/

 

Not only that, but Attali did not say those words. This has been debunked as propaganda.

Why is it relevant that Kamala Harris is black, or a woman?  It is all about political identity. 

 

Btw, in the links you posted Attali did appear to some level of government population control by not doing everything possible to extend life.  He did not support euthanasia, but it seems clear he definitely appears to be a proponent of reducing the population by guided natural means.

 

"The book contains several fragments, where Attali talks about people aged 60-65, noting that in the very logic of industrial society, the objective will no longer be to extend life expectancy, but to ensure that within a specific lifespan, people live as well as possible but in such a way that health expenses will be as low as possible in terms of costs for the community. Attali also noted in the interview that “euthanasia will be one of the essential instruments of our future societies in all cases”. He, however, clarifies that he is not a supporter of euthanasia. Probably, the quote according to which Attali allegedly spoke about reduction and artificial destruction of population at the expense of old people emerged just after manipulative interpretation of this interview."

Oh, you know the answer to that question. It's sooooo obvious! 😉 This antisemitic meme has been around for quite a many years, on sources one could certainly say are insane, racist, bonkers, and violent. It's completely made up claims and quotes which attempt to link a Jewish man to a vast worldwide cabal of other Jewish or pro-Jewish individual lizard people. Even typing that out just makes me cringe! That's pretty much it. It's not got a single thing to do with vaccines, Pfizer, and the lifesaving drugs they make.

 

Hmmm... man, remember those days when men clamored toward Pfizer for the miracle little blue pill? Everyone seemed to love that thing.  My god, if only they'd known it was all a vast NWO conspiracy....
