It baffles me that our program for a covid drug has been dismissed by some poeple on here with out seeing the results.
Yes, there are others pursuing a covid drug however as we've seen with the vaccines, it's not a one size fits all approach, and this evolving covid world we now live in is commonly believed to be affecting our daily lives for the next couple of years.
