Superficially does seem like Pfizer’s new drug is superior. 

”Only about 0.8% of patients who received Paxlovid were hospitalized through day 28 compared to 7% of patients who received placebo and were hospitalized or died.

Merck reported that 7.3% of patients who received molnupiravir were either hospitalized or died through day 29 compared with 14.1% of placebo-treated patients.”


Looking at the above figures, about double of those who received placebo for Merck’s died compared to Pfizer. Does it mean that the patients recruited into Merck’s study are sicker? 

Without going into studying both trials in detail, suffice to say both appear to be efficacious but I’m not too sure if Pfizer’s is superior to Merck’s.

    People didn't read research about testing: Merck was 50% efficient during the first 5 days of catching a virus. Pfizer was 89% effective during the first 3 days. 1. There is correlation between time of taking a pill and its effectiveness. If we calculate effectiveness according to time period Phizer pill can be only 53% effective within the first 5 days. 2. Incubation period of COVID can last up to 21 day. Most common is between 5-10. Good luck to those who think they can detect virus within 3 days and use Pfizer. 3. Pills are adverse market for vaccines. Pfizer produces both, with increase of pills number of vaccines will decrease. Merck will produce only pills so no adverse effect on other products.

      Personal opinion, to me investing in pharma companies is like gambling. You never know who will develop the next blockbuster!

    Surprised how many on this board see this as over reaction….MRK at PE of 28 and PFE at forward PE of 10…..their trailing earnings +100% top and bottom line and accelerating. I wish all companies well that are fighting Covid but personally see way more upside on PFE than MRK. Good luck all.

    t’s a buying opportunity. MRK Covid pill is way ahead in the approval process than PFE. I have invested in both so I am happy either way
