Yeah, I read the article. It states that this is a treatment. It states it gives people a novel way to treat the virus and is standalone. It is not taken with the vaccine. The article takes pains to state that it is for early treatment of patients.

Wow! Pharma is going to be filthy rich! They're in the money! They're in the money!

They really want us to be popping pills and using needles!
