    BREAKING: U.S. regulators authorize a second COVID-19 pill, a Merck drug that can be taken at home. The authorization comes one day after the agency cleared a competing drug from Pfizer.http://apne.ws/BwM9fKR

        Womp Womp… 😑 Merck & Co said updated results showed its Covid-19 pill reduced the risk of hospitalization or death among adults with mild to moderate disease by 30%, less than a previous estimate and well below a rival treatment from Pfizer Inc.

        Way less effective and way crazier side effects. That quote from the Mayo Clinic was spot on…

        Pfizer's is much better. Don't know why the UK has ordered the Merck one, but at least you have both.https://twitter.com/BEEnnis/status/1473765472772530183?s=20 …

        Pfizer's Paxlovid has ~ 90% efficacy in preventing COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths in high-risk patients. Merck's Molnupiravir was markedly less effective reducing hospitalisations and deaths in high-risk individuals by about 30%. Guess which the UK has bought ! 🙄 https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1473759092393095172 …

        Even if authorized, it's unlikely to plan any substantial role given the Pfizer produced drug that is more effective and less severe potential side effects.

        It could be a backup in case the other one has trouble, I guess.
