It is to be released by the end of the year, and the dose is two pills per day. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said, "Success against #COVID19 will likely require both vaccines & treatments." Critics are concerned that Pfizer's twice-daily pills likely would be accepted as needed for life. Antiviral drugs can cause severe systemic damage, and protease inhibitors are reported to be highly toxic and have little therapeutic value, according to this British Medical Journal report on dangerous antiviral drugs given to AIDS patients decades ago. -GEG

Pharmaceutical megacorporation Pfizer is now developing a COVID pill that is meant to be taken alongside the COVID vaccines that have already made the company a staggering amount of money. The new pill is expected to be released by the end of the year and will be required to be taken twice per day.

"Success against #COVID19 will likely require both vaccines & treatments," Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said on Wednesday. "We're pleased to share we've started a Phase 2/3 study of our oral antiviral candidate-specifically designed to combat SARS-CoV-2-in non-hospitalized, low-risk adults."
