Wel what could go wrong with molnupinavir. Its mode of action is to induce a large number of mutations in the virus thereby preventing replication. That's all very well, but it is also going to cause mutations in genomic DNA so there is a real risk of causing cancer long-term. That would be a huge disaster for a viral illness that currently is nothing more than a cold and where the existence of so-called long-covid, as opposed to post-viral syndrome associated with many upper respiratory tract viruses, is dubious at best.
As a 65 year old oncologist, it pains me to read how ignorant of science so many of my peers are. Doctors are supposed to ask questions and be comfortable saying "I don't know" instead of spewing self-righteous BS that hides petulant stupidity. Thank you VP.
Topol is an NPC.

Thank God for you, Dr. Prasad! This is why I am still a paid subscriber.
