It's reporting in vitro experiments, not in vivo, so there's a long way to go before it could get particularly interesting.


Damn - one of the listed drugs is one that I take daily - it could get into short supply.

Fortunately, it's not that near to the top, so with luck those who like to promote cures based on little evidence will go for the earlier ones and leave mine alone.

Meanwhile, not such good news from the Pfizer - Biontech camp:

"Andrey Semyonovitch really was rather stupid; he attached himself to the progressive cause and 'our younger generation' from enthusiasm. He was one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards, of half-animate abortions, conceited, half-educated coxcombs who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion, only to vulgarise it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely."

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

It seems to be more of Cursitor Doom's fake news. The data "leaked" seems to have been doctored to make it look worse than it was.

Maybe somebody wanted to buy up a lot of Pfizer or BioNTech stock cheap?
