The report puts the issue of Ivermectin safety to rest. Read conclusion page. In other words there is nothing to lose by taking it, but a lot to gain. https://www.medincell.com/ivermectin/

I just want to comment that in addition to the possible inhibition SARS-Cov-2 binding to the ACE2 receptor on the cell, Ivermectin may also function to block several inflammatory pathways in the cell once it has been infected. I'll post the link the article on this at the end of my comment.

Molnupiravir looks to be a protease inhibitor, blocking the cleaving of translated viral polypeptides into functional proteins required for SARS-CoV-2 to replicate successfully. I can see using them in conjunction to good effect for those infected. Prophylactic means to prevent infection are also out there, you just have to look for the articles, some of which data to 2010 and were looking as earlier Coronavirus.

A lot of shills and paid trolls here with the standard talking points. I will add one thing.

I have worked in the pharma industry and healthcare.

Anyone who believes that Pfizer or any of the other pharma companies is not wholly driven by profit motive is deluded. Curing or preventing illness is not their goal, it is an occasional by-product of their activities.

All Pharma companies are capable of the most egregious human rights violations and criminal behaviour in pursuit of $$$. The public and legal case evidence for this is overwhelming and not controversial. I trust these companies and their trials as much as I trust my government, that is to say, not at all. I have been inside, I have seen it and it is disheartening.

1: You can't believe press releases from Pfizer about anything. Everything they publish, incl their science must be viewed through the lens of Pfizer's profit motive.

2: Pfizers Covid19 trial is FULL of data and procedural problems which dwarf the tiny signals they claim prove efficacy. Read the published information if you're capable.

Just like the crazy conspiracy that a province in India that has no other choice , has a 97% effacy rate. But that's just a quarter of a billion Indians lying about it.

Not the same drug but having similar efficacy for the same condition only one is $700 per script and the other $10 per script 50 years history and safety even a Nobel prize. I'm really struggling to make a decision maybe if your intent was to save a life both could be prescribed given the mechanism differs no chance of OD and a more effective result like ibrufen and paracetamol.

Since viral replication is a 1000-step process, there are 1000 ways to "stop" or "slow" it. They are not all equal.

Ivermectin appears to interfere with a spectrum of steps in the process; including, possibly, the virus's access to RNA polymerase - however, I think that last one is speculative. I don't try to follow all the theory. Since ivermectin is a bacterial molecule, it might already resemble common bacterial molecules already in the microbiome of a lot of people, but not everyone, for all we know.

Molnupiravir seems to disable mRNA transcription in general - throughout the body. Like making your cells drunk, so they can't do the work that the virus needs them to - nor the work they need to, i.e. gene expression. It doesn't make any sense at all to me, but I've only been researching it since Friday.

They certainly can be called different drugs.

MRE the data is there you must be a bot & not a very smart one at that

I’ve read there studies. People are dying because the western government are not allowing a safe preventative treatment

Where do you get off with your condescending attitude that smells of complete and utter ignorance ? Oh wait your a pharma shill that’s right

for those who care to look at the data and understand it... go to the source and look at the real clinical data. You will find nothing impressive like the cherry-picked meta analysis all the anti-vax rave about.

Total bullshit. If you had spent 20 seconds on google, you would have been able to lookup the chemical composition of each of these drugs which is public information and realize they are totally different. Non sense.
