    With the UK approving the antiviral COVID-19 pill and the EMA seeking to expediate the authorisation it's worth opening a discussion on the merits of the pill.

    I don't know if this will gather much interest. Unless it's some agricultural product being promoted by a comedian on his podcast or some stuff you might find around the house or under the sick, I don't think people are going to be very interested. Scientifically tested medicine that has been shown to work just isn't as interesting as the whacky stuff that gets promoted by people who's field of expertise isn't medicine.

    I hope it works out, but I wouldn't be inclined to take a mutagen with no long-term safety data, myself.

    “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~C.S. Lewis
