First pill to treat Covid gets approval in UK – BBC News

Published

on



The first pill designed to treat symptomatic Covid has been approved by the UK medicines regulator.

The tablet – molnupiravir – will be given twice a day to vulnerable patients recently diagnosed with the disease.

In clinical trials the pill, originally developed to treat flu, cut the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half.

UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the treatment was a “gamechanger” for the most frail and immunosuppressed.

Molnupiravir, developed by the US drug companies Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD) and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, is the first antiviral medication for Covid which can be taken as a pill rather than injected or given intravenously.

    ARTEMIC from MGC Pharma can be a potential lifesaver in the fight against covid 19.

    ArtemiC has been used by many people to help the immune system to prevent covid or alleviate covid, Long, or other infectious diseases.

    Type it in on YouTube and you will find more info. It can be ordered online, but remember theres a possibility of a backlog. Best kept in the fridge until someone has symptoms. 🤧🤧🤧 I have tried ArtemiC Rescue (covid) and ArtemiC Support (prevention) and had no side effects. And great results during covid sickness by two persons. When someone in my household had tested positive for covid 19 I took the ArtemiC support daily and I never developed symtoms. This can be used for any strain of corona and its natural so there is no need for a prescription.

    Opryszczkę można leczyć i wyleczyć na stałe, ale tylko nieliczni w to wierzą. Kilka lat temu zdiagnozowano u mnie opryszczkę, mój lekarz powiedział mi, że nie ma trwałego lekarstwa na tę chorobę, dali mi leki przeciwwirusowe, aby ograniczyć wybuch wirusa, w początkowej fazie nie było tak źle, dopóki nie doszło do progresji do koniec Średniozaawansowany etap, w którym miałem trudności z wykonywaniem codziennych czynności, byłem całkowicie zdruzgotany, dopóki nie zobaczyłem komentarza o dr Amenze, który używał ziołolecznictwa do leczenia wirusa opryszczki, kiedy skontaktowałem się z dr Amenze przez e-mail po krótkiej dyskusji, on przygotowałem i wysłałem do mnie, gdy otrzymałem ziołolecznictwo, przyjmowałem zgodnie z jego zaleceniami przez dwa tygodnie potem poszedłem do szpitala na badanie krwi i wynik był ujemny, wyleczyłem się i byłem wolny od tego wirusa.

    They Just need to find a suitable target group
    Ohh how about pregnant women.

    Babies under 5months
    Or the elderly over 80
    How about politicians mandated to take it every time they
    tell a fib
    Twist the truth
    Blame others
    Fiddle
    Change the laws to suit themselves
    Etc

    The virus mutating itself to death he thought was a good description? Is he some kind of doctor or scientist? or is he just scaremongering again? It's nothing to do with mutations you uneducated presenter – do some research before spouting lies. It works in a similar way to the super-cheap and super-safe Ivermectin costing less than $0.50 a course, but this new drug comes at a bargain price of $700 a course.

    And for people that don't suffer with covid that's occupied that area for a long time obviously doing what they've been doing with their job that was not had the kovid jab to start with don't you think people are going to ask questions as to why that person occupy himself in such filthy air for the time they have and where this pandemic originated from but not be dead yet lol nothing makes sense because the pandemic magically moved you can't see it like I say nothing makes sense from the speculation from the first person that died of kovid how did you know it was kovid if it can't be seen so was speculating on something we can't see that we've just looked into that could just be what an exasperation of the cold the flu I don't know how it can originated from somewhere and it not be more intense in that area and that location around the airspace say it's gone global from a dream

  16. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Not going to be a nice thing to talk about when coming back from tour where have you been through the year dad occupying covid airspace low and then government scan after explain why pandemics got big globally in every country every country that's involved I don't think there was many not involved

  17. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    How did he know that what he couldn't see was known as kovid absolutely nothing makes sense I'm sure it was given the title before it became a pandemic as well so what would definitely not dreamed up

  18. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    I would say whoever come up with this whole Masterplan turned up to the Picnic minus a few sandwiches maybe – a picnic lol every country is responsible from a dream to Reality in what trump was saying and colluding with who pandemic and war in covid airspace or colluding within the atmosphere why would a government put themselves in that situation but it's not like you haven't and yeah Britton coming up with some magical pill for some at this dream up being over exaggerated by trump in his claims as to what it is to say his the only character that say wear it of to watch it was and one person that had its to the 6 million loss now globally and increasing and more pandemic don't see how it can be there would be no reason as to why any country agreed to even go and occupy areas around the or their local airspace or even c space absolutely nothing makes sense from any government they all jumped into helping it was suffering a pandemic remember surely they didn't move the pandemic from where it originated from so how can it not be worse from where this bacteria originated from yet we going occupy there air space and all countries do it globally everything's going to be coming back looking like a fancy cake that's been in the cake shop for lots of icing if we could see the bacteria the virus and know what it was to start with before making assumptions as to what the first person you assumed died of kovid before it becomes this massive but if you can't see it how did you know it was kovid that took his life obviously covered and not been looked into but he's back speculate from one person the person that says it's classified and yeah the person that seen the bacteria virus I mean didn't see it but knew it was there but Obama dreamed it up 7 years ago wow pandemic or whether they choose for it to be in whatever country next nothing make sense every country made the same mistake there is no explanation cos I don't know even why you would even want to occupy that space as a year ago but we all went out there globally and did it but pandemic wow and you're exaggerating then it's going to get worse and speculation that it's gonna be here there everywhere over the winter and the type of people that's going to target or have an adverse effect on wow something you can't see

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Obviously there's individual medicine you can try this on but for them people that take a cocktail to keep themselves alive or like I say for people that you know suffer with just general issues has all of this been taken into consideration to say we've been used as guinea pigs from a dream to it being realistic and 6 million lives oh and it's only getting bigger so you know where it is going clean up the mess oh but all countries occupy the covid airspace around the area every country did they have a team of scientists removing particles out of the sky before they turned up to war a year ago oh about a year ago and it was pandemic lol what's different from them to now to what Obama dreamed up oh and the what's classified as trump says why that would be classified I don't know this is absolute bullshit

  21. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Or was it the bottom of his tea leaves when he had drinks with her the British government yes I can just see pandemic and then what do you know it's played out

  22. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Did Obama look into his crystal ball to see what was going to be happening for our future globally wow

  23. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    We couldn't see it to start with so how did we know it was going to be what's known as kovid now to say only started with one person trump new oh and trump spotted it I mean no it was in China somewhere but Obama dreamt it up years before lol

  24. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Wouldn't that necessarily mean the globes atmosphere air quality is full of kovid and no good for nobody I don't know where the worst is virus or this bacteria is at any one time lol

  25. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    So then the British Public don't have to become guinea pigs for something that is classified again

  26. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    And if we know where we are picking it up from can't we get rid of it to stop it affecting people would make sense because none of this makes sense

  27. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Let's hope 1 countries got a good explanation for this global atrocities to what kovid is maybe the country that wasn't involved lol https://youtu.be/pBVAnaHxHbM
    It was only a dream remember of Obama's ok trump finish the fabrication and the rest of the making up of this whole set up for the illusion of kovid because it classified where do you pick up your biggest intensity air quality as to what covid actually is none of this makes sense like I say I can see that ship coming back blanketed caked literally an icing layer on top of it a years worth of being out in covid face as well as the Men They gonna look like marshmallows imagine it because just because you can't see it doesn't mean to say it's not there lol Don't forget it's airborne a bacteria or a virus contagious it can cling to things hello nothing makes sense here to say all countries are involved

  28. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Assume an individual cold but will put it down to covid heart disease that will put it down covid nothing really is there is no reasons and you couldn't write it that Obama dreamt it

  29. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    I might have the highest intensity of kovid around me at the minute because I can't see it doesn't mean to say it's not there same as hackers just because I can't see them doesn't mean to say they're not there common guns drugs just because I don't see them doesn't mean to say they're not there same would be with the bacteria and virus wouldn't it like I say it's actually if it's airborne you're not going to know where it is so where you pick up your samples from I don't know and you can't just pick an individual make no sense

  30. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    And nothing would make sense if you was just if you late that kovid would occupy a different country other than where it originated from but yes with a virus and bacteria self-explanatory as well if it's airborne but then you are born and a bacteria and a virus surely it can cling to surfaces and attach itself to surfaces if you can't see it how do you know it's there and if it's a bacteria it's multiplying I can only imagine the years and the layers worth of kovid contamination that would possibly be on that ship that's coming back to England now a years worth remember all occupying where the covid came from the same as every other country nothing makes sense at all quite laughable

  31. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Wow omg proper ashamed to be British yes I know what's happened here

  32. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Obviously they wouldn't have already have been test on people like this that have to have this medicine to know whether there was going to be any adverse effects with what with cooked up here with this concoction god knows what's in this concoction if the information on the virus is classified like I say where do you get your kovid from to be putting speculation on just wanting to sit there and make a magical pill as to something you think doing goodbye doing when yes this pill could have an adverse effect as to what people consume on a daily today basis keep themselves alives to sort out their kidney problems sort out people with mental illness my nana on lots of medicine and then you're to give her one of these to tackle kovid how do you know that there's going to be no adverse effects with what she's already taking or what anybody else is already taking they would have been no test in to how this would affect an individual as a whole unclassified like I say where do you pick up your highest intensity of covid how do you know where to pick it up from and where do you pick it up from lol nothing makes sense

  33. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    I mean everybody is an individual and yeah everybody has a tolerance level and some people are mentally not well some people are disturb some people are physically not well some people are generally dying and not well through proper health problems and yeah with what they take as medicine to keep them alive and everything and obviously for them to deal with normal day today circumstances and obviously for everybody to get over their kidney problems their liver problems certain things like that and obviously people are different and obviously there is this happening in the world all over the world how can you guarantee that your magical sausage here is not going to have any any adverse effect on anybody's Mads and the quantity they take the intensity they take it up because everybody is different but we got some magical pill here that has been cooked up by the British yeah this is something that was dreams about by Obama back in 2014 and is classified information so where are we picking this bacteria up from amazes me as to like I say you can stipulate and point to what areas are going to be hit the worst over the winter wow did you realise the warship that coming back is going to be a culprit took over as well might be contaminated like no man's business machinery Notts holes and crannies will be full of this bacteria virus because if it's contagious and we can catch it and it's airborne obviously it can clean two instruments areas clothing equipment never mind the people that come back and probably swallowed a years worth of kovid because they only occupied the area where this pandemic originated from or did they move the pandemic before they went to fight how they seen it I don't know how they know where the worst intensity of covid is I don't know lol nothing makes sense absolutely fuckall makes sense and definitely not when it's classified why information like this would be classified I don't know wow we've got some miracle cure I'm just concerned now because like I say what are we working on as far as covid we didn't go to buy covid-19 to sort out if use abroad in see technology air all in the area location where the pandemic in originated from and every country made the same mistake couldn't write it

  34. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    It's not actually a bacteria you can see it it's human

  35. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    I don't know how we can jump to the conclusion and the prediction that yeah over the winter that this area could be attacked the most and she the highest severity of kovid it's funny when your head conversation like that within the news it's like the government already know what areas are going to get or or next to be affected properly next over the winter like they've got a digital diary I don't understand nothing make sense every government make the same mistake global atrocity if you ask me and your virus bacteria is Trump and Obama

  36. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Don't forget just because you can't see it doesn't mean to say it's not there just because you can't see it doesn't mean to say it's not there then it's killer intensity it could be floating above your head at it's killer intensity but don't forget this is something that Obama dreamed up and everybody else is gone along with this whole goddamn illusion globally lol

  37. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    How do you know where you are picking up the worst of the virus the bacteria from to know that what you are making now as far as an antidote is concerned is going to be the correct thing for what you are putting into the public like I said shouldn't it be Declassified and what should we really not be occupying kovid airspace I'm worried as to what's going to come back contaminated now as far as the ship is concerned machinery man through and then the amount of that that's coming back into the country and then going back to other countries but we have a global pandemic remember nothing makes sense obviously makes sense with all countries for them to do what they've done but obviously they're going to have no excuses to yeah we're suffering a pandemic but like I say or our machinery and trucks are occupying where the pandemic originated from all approved by government obviously why everybody else suffers with the illusion the smokescreen fabrication of pandemic and the word went round like Chinese whispers so you're not get it out of anybody else has had no as to what they think they know and that's the biggest mistake you made globally nevermind what all governments have done as far as having military troops machinery occupying where this pandemic come from there is no excuse from any government is there really

  38. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

  39. @melmar4224

    January 16, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Trying to tell the public that kovid. Has got preference as to the type of people it wants to attack I'm sure bacteria and virus isn't going to matters to what it wants to attack how can you sit there and put special preference as to the type of people it's going to have an effect on the most or the least yeah it's just going to target people of this age nothing makes sense

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
