In the 12 months before November of this year, Pfizer shares trailed the S&P 500 index, even as it rolled out its Covid-19 vaccine. Since the start of November, however, Pfizer shares have exploded.

The authorization allows for molnupiravir to be used only when other Covid-19 treatments, like Paxlovid, are not accessible or not clinically appropriate. The agency also did not recommend the drug for use during pregnancy, and advised that men who take molnupiravir should use birth control for at least three months afterward.</p>\n<p>Earlier hopes that molnupiravir could be a long-term revenue driver are evaporating. The disappointment is a reminder of the challenge facing Merck before the end of this decade: the loss of patent protections on Keytruda, the cancer drug blockbuster that accounts for roughly a third of its revenue.
