    "Molnupiravir, developed by Merck, is designed to kill the virus by inducing mutations in its genome. However, a new study has shown that some people treated with Molnupiravir develop new variants that not only remain viable but also spread."

    • Interesting...but it also shows that when there's a real controversy about a drug, scientists will discuss and debate it,yuekit
    • not engage in a conspiracy that will only be uncovered by the Project Veritas guy.yuekit

    • The drug is more likely to cause specific nucleic acid substitutions, with guanine switching to adenine and cytosine to uracil.inteliboy
    • ... so anyway 5G amirite?inteliboy

    • It's not clear that this one study is right or that this drug had any real consequences.yuekit
    • New variants of viruses are being created all the time just as a result of them infecting humans and other animals.yuekit
    • catalyzed by medicine?sted
    • Nope, everytime someone gets infected there's a chance of generating new variants. That's almost certainly how the pandemic started in the first place,yuekit
    • how Delta variant emerged, Omicron etc.yuekit
    • The concern is this medication might supercharge that process but it's not the only way it can happen.yuekit
