A new study released Monday said Merck ’s widely used antiviral Covid pill can cause mutations in the virus that occasionally spread to other people, raising questions about whether the drug has the potential to accelerate Covid’s evolution.
The findings may increase scrutiny about the usefulness of the treatment, molnupiravir, which was one of the first Covid drugs available to doctors worldwide during the pandemic.
Molnupiravir works by causing mutations in Covid’s genetic information, which weakens or destroys the virus and reduces the amount of Covid in the body. However, the study published Monday in the scientific journal Nature found that Covid can sometimes survive treatment with molnupiravir, leading to mutated versions of the virus that have been found to spread to other patients.

It’s a feature.
Create the disease. Create the “treatment.” It creates a new disease. They create another “treatment.”
Dolla’ dolla’ bills, y’all.
Viruses always mutate. That’s how they survive.
This is like taking antibiotics that kill most of the germs but allow the more virulent germs to survive, multiply and infect others with more deadly results immune to the antibiotic.
Anyone paying attention knows that’s a feature.

Making a bad situation exponentially worse.
Good show, Merck! You’re #1.
Whenever you use a chemical means to fight a biological organism, there is a risk that the targeted organism will evolve to resist the chemical.
This happens with viruses and bacteria. It happens with weeds and rodents.
If the dose is not enough to kill all of them right away, some will become resistant.
That’s how selective evolution works.
They knew this would occur. Planned oops.
We knew this 2 years ago.
“Harmaceuticals.”
Good one!
