Merck rejects ivermectin for COVID treatment and gets a $1.2 billion government contract for its expensive, unproven drug. And, the drug, molnupiravir, contains some of the same molecular qualities as ivermectin.

Dr. Syed Mobeen "it seems that molnupiravir is a copy of one of Ivermectin's mechanisms."

"This mechanism is to disrupt the SARS-COV-2 virus' RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) enzyme," said Dr. Mobeen, who runs a medical education center. "Copying this mechanism will give Merck a way to earn from an existing cheap drug's action by relabeling it; however, I believe that molnupiravir will continue to be less effective as studies show that ivermectin has more mechanisms to disrupt the SARS-COV-2 replication and spread. Hence, ivermectin will continue to be a superior choice over molnupirivir or other RdRp disrupters."

Funny that is exactly what ivermectin does.

That is very interesting, I thought Biden mandated it for all federal employees

Staff at TSC is back to masking. So far it is not required of customers.

I can't recall if they were or were not when I was there recently.

Massachusetts and New Hampshire are not requiring masks, just suggesting it's a good idea. However, most school kids under 12 are supposed to wear masks. I went shopping in both states yesterday and mask wearing indoors was about 40 masked to 60 unmasked. I guess some people don't care if they get sick or at the very least contribute to the germ pool. To each their own.

We're back to masks indoors as of Monday this week.... I used to go to the fitness center at the high school in the evening. Of course they closed March 2020...got an email Tuesday that they were opening up next week. Ummm I think I will pass for this fall. The FC has been poorly ventilated in the past. Not sure if it's any better

My county has imposed a mask order. Not much changed. It appears that the only ones obeying were wearing one anyway.
