BECAUSE IT MOVES SO SLOW I HAVE NOT REMOVED PFIZER YET. I DON'T HAVE AN OBVIOUS REPLACEMENT... This news probably won't move the stk.
WHO recommends Paxlovid COVID-19 therapy from Pfizer 06:08 PFE In a World Health Organization press release, the organization said, "WHO made a strong recommendation for nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, sold under the name Paxlovid, for mild and moderate COVID-19 patients at highest risk of hospital admission, calling it the best therapeutic choice for high-risk patients to date. However, availability, lack of price transparency in bilateral deals made by the producer, and the need for prompt and accurate testing before administering it, are turning this life-saving medicine into a major challenge for low- and middle-income countries. Pfizer's oral antiviral drug is strongly recommended for patients with non-severe COVID-19 who are at highest risk of developing severe disease and hospitalization, such as unvaccinated, older, or immunosuppressed patients. This recommendation is based on new data from two randomized controlled trials involving 3078 patients. The data show that the risk of hospitalization is reduced by 85% following this treatment. In a high-risk group, that means 84 fewer hospitalizations per 1000 patients.
