Last one>>> thus, administration of this treatment with or immediately after discontinuing medications that are strong inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., rifampin) can lead to significant reductions in nirmatrelvir and ritonavir concentrations, which may decrease nirmatrelvir’s effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2. Sound familiar? (will need boosters of this too presumably) |

User ID: 81769484 United States 01/17/2022 10:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | #BREAKING: Health Canada to authorize Pfizer's antiviral COVID-19 drug Quoting: Google_It [link to www.ctvnews.ca (secure)] OTTAWA -- Health Canada is expected to authorize the use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 antiviral treatment Paxlovid on Monday, CTV News has confirmed. The official announcement is expected to come from the federal health agency at 11 a.m. EST. Pfizer submitted clinical data for the oral medication that can be used to treat mild to moderate cases of COVID-19 in adults, on Dec. 1, 2021. The government has a deal in place with the pharmaceutical giant securing access to an initial one million doses of the therapeutic drug. Responding to recent calls from the provinces for a swift rollout of this medication in the face of an expected surge in Omicron hospitalizations, the federal government has vowed that delivery of the drug will happen in short order. ========================================================== Was there ever any doubt...? The question for me is this the pill with the microchip for complaince? Read the Mercola report, then decide The mechanism of this pill is to genetically change the virus cells What could possibly go wrong Just take a look at the 6 month studies Wait…there aren’t any Thread: UPDATE: FDA Approves TWO Outpatient Covid Treatments: Pills Marketed by Pfizer and Merck You can count on America to do the right thing after exhausting every other alternative."

PAXLOVID is investigational because it is still being studied. There is limited information about the safety and effectiveness of using PAXLOVID to treat people with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.” You can count on America to do the right thing after exhausting every other alternative."
