I had Pfizer booster. Sick with fever 3 days. It sucked...

Encouraging.
But so was the “vaccine”.
Hey, hopefully this thing will be effective. In a perfect world this makes the most sense as far as treatment and getting on with life.
Time to start treating covid for what it is…like the flu.

How old are you? If I was young, I'd take my chances. I'm not. That's the problem with your one size fits all answer. And, you don't know what the side affects of this pill is. Could be worse or better than the vaccine. YOU DON'T KNOW. NO ONE KNOWS. If you take Tylenol you can suffer serious liver damage. Pills can do just as much damage as injection. It all depends on the drug

Not sure about the price. Just being cynical here.
It's a $530 course of pills that a $60 course of shots does preemptively - keep you out of the hospital should you become infected.

This pills sounds promising, but it costs too much to be practical. I know people who have had covid three time in the past year or so. Is someone supposed to take this with every run of covid? Health costs could actually go up with a pill like this because people will want to take it with every covid sniffle. That’s just not realistic, so I wonder how this will be distributed. I’m seeing a mess ahead with this pill.

But the vaccine is supposed to keep you out of the hospital.

Not taking it.

The drug companies, the Dems, the media, and the censorship have removed what little faith I could have ever had for them.

Many people who questioned the testing rigor of the vaccines, will should likewise question the testing rigor this The pill.
Me, would not want to get Covid at all.

Wow, sorry to hear. Did you get sick with your first two?

So far, I just have a sore arm and a little sleepy. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

I can't believe how badly Biden was and continues to botch the management and the messaging on this.

This drug will hopefully be the game changer we need, and now people will die waiting for it when that could have been avoided. He should have been mass producing this ahead of the approval, ala Warp Speed.

He could have announced this instead of his gloomy winter of death speech yesterday.

Just imagine... "I announce today that this virus no longer needs to kill anyone. We have a cure. And we can start giving it to people who are sick, TODAY."
