Pfizer authorizes $1 billion for oral COVID-19 treatment, CEO says
Yahoo! Finance ^ | july 28, 2021 | Anjalee Khemlani

Pfizer (PFE) CEO Albert Bourla is betting big on repeating the success of its COVID-19 vaccine with an experimental oral treatment — and he's putting the company's money where its mouth is.

Bourla told Yahoo Finance Wednesday the company is committing $1 billion to develop the oral treatment — a protease inhibitor — which would give the world an easy-to-use, targeted treatment, hopefully by year's end.

The current market for COVID-19 treatments includes monoclonal antibodies and some repurposed drugs, including generics and Gilead Sciences' (GILD) Veklury (formerly Remdesivir) - all of which require being in a hospital or clinic to receive treatment.

Funny how they didn’t bother to research a treatment until they got their vaxes approved. Or so they say.

From the Pfizer press release in March:
“Protease inhibitors bind to a viral enzyme (called a protease), preventing the virus from replicating in the cell. Protease inhibitors have been effective at treating other viral pathogens such as HIV and hepatitis C virus, both alone and in combination with other antivirals. Currently marketed therapeutics that target viral proteases are not generally associated with toxicity and as such, this class of molecules may potentially provide well-tolerated treatments against COVID-19.”

“A protease inhibitor is a compound that interferes with the ability of certain enzymes to break down proteins. Some protease inhibitors can keep a virus from making copies of itself, and some can prevent cancer cells from spreading.”

“I’m sure one could be designed to stop you from being able to digest meat too.”

I don’t know if that’s a possible use of a protease inhibitor. They work at a cellular level and I’m not sure digestion is quite the same thing.

And what would the point of it be anyway?

A vaccine has the spike protein. This isn’t a vaccine.
