Merck's COVID-19 Pill - k.d. - 01-06-2022
India’s top health research body announced on Wednesday that it won’t be adding Merck’s COVID-19 antiviral pill molnupiravir to its national treatment protocol, citing concerns over its safety.
The state-run Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said it had become aware of “major safety concerns” that prompted the decision, despite India’s drug regulator in December approving the drug for emergency use.
It comes after France in December also canceled its order for the drug, developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, following disappointing trial data suggesting its drug was markedly less effective than previously thought.
“Molnupiravir has major safety concerns including teratogenicity, mutagenicity, muscle and bone damage. If this drug is given, contraception must be done for three months as the child may have problems,” ICMR Director-General Balram Bhargava told local media on Wednesday.

You have to ask?
RE: Merck's COVID-19 Pill - j.p. - 01-06-2022
Yes
To someone who thinks the risks of taking certain body changing synthetic drugs are akin to that of a few extra mg of vitamin C. It's a pertinent question.

That's your prerogative, no matter how stupid it is.

Well then. What's your beef with the Merck pill.
Or are you waiting for the official go ahead before commenting.

News Flash: Every pharmaceutical has warning of its side effects. Obviously, these are not natural occurrences within the organic being of the body. Drug induced problems.

Yep. Side effects. Just like the ones in Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. Your conspiracist approved pharmaceuticals.
If Rogan thought the Merck pill was ok, would you ? Be honest.

I don't watch Rogan.
