RE: Covid-19 pill race heats up as Japanese firm vies with Pfizer, Merck26 Jul 2021 11:46
Good morning Ahfam.
The elusive pill! Most of these are antiviral.
I were talking to an ex Naval medic over the weekend. He were fine with anti viral, his only negative aspect were that after a period of time anti viral loose their effectiveness as a virus mutated. Quinnine no longer effective against Malaria is just one example.
More to the point there should be no reason as to why our SDC 1801 cannot be used to prevent a cytokine storm, as opposed to wait for a cytokine storm to develop then attempt to down regulate as is the cytokine storm which is damaging to our bodies vital organs.
Of course this would put us one up on Baricitinib, as Baricitinib only for EUA only, due to its known side effects. No cytokine storm, no emergency so as to speak. A better profile to, if this is the case by definition.
