re: Biden admin buys 10 million courses of Pfizer’s Covid treatment pill for $5 BILLION

As with anything do your own research and make your own conclusions

What qualifies as research? Articles from your own echo chamber? I doubt you you are reading any peer reviewed articles from Lancet, Natural, American Journal of Medicine, or New England Journal of Medicine.

And from the "article" linked:

Yea buddy which I acknowledged in my post

Pfizer has agreed to supply the Trump administration with 100 million additional vaccine doses in a $1.95 billion deal

For a government that’s broke they sure be spending our money like it’s theirs.

I remember just a few months ago many Covidians here telling me peer-review doesn't mean shite. Make up your minds

If it’s from a reputable medical journal then I wouldn’t question it. But when people say I did my own “research” that’s code for: “I found an article online that agrees with my viewpoints and justifies what I want.” In no way is it actual professionals conducting experiments and reading legit medical journals. Not saying only one side does this either. It’s just stupid what some people qualify as “research” these days.

There was a thread here a while back that had the information. I forget who started it or what the links were.

Strannix started it and it was thoroughly hashed out. The idea came from a single tweet by a third world retweeter claiming it was "evergreening" and was picked up by the Front Line Doctors with zero evidence. The molecule is completely different sharing no base compound and a completely different MOA. If you read the whole thread either the one here or the one on the Poli board it was clear the drugs have nothing in common.

Long, very condescending article on why the Pfizer drug and ivermectin are not the same.

This guy goes into a lot of the actual molecule with papers cited. Read it and come to your own conclusion.

I’m just happy we are coming up with drugs to treat positive patients, which means we don’t need vaccine mandates.

All in the game, Yo. Big Pharma, Medical, Military, Tech and many more have an open checkbook depending on what narratives Washington DC decide to run out there in a given political climate surge. The entirety of Washington DC is a ponzi scheme.

And “conservatives” are part of it these days too. They spend like mother frickers as well

Campbell also pointed to a paper from Frontiers in Microbiology, which he said showed ivermectin not only attacked and bound to COVID’s spike protein which stopped it from infecting the cell, but also bound to the cell receptor.

---

So in other words, Ivermectin binds to exterior structures on the virus rendering it dysfunctional. The Pfizer drug prevents the virus from making the right proteins to even build those exterior structures in the first place.

So yeah, just because they both have the same purpose (attacking covid) doesn't even come close to making them "basically the same drug."

Also, your link goes to a 404 not found error on some page called Children's Defense Health, whatever that is.

ETA: Ahh, now I see the OP has been edited to reflect a more reasonable position and the link fixed. I guess it didn't really pass muster after all.

The papers he cited have nothing to do with comparing the two drugs so I fail to see the point.
