Makary: New coronavirus pills' data 'renders medical case for vaccine mandate obsolete'
Fox News
Dr. Marty Makary tells "Fox News Primetime" that the advent of two antiviral pills from Pfizer and Merck should render Biden's coronavirus vaccine mandate "obsolete."
The Pfizer pill cut hospitalization and death rates by nearly 90% in high-risk adults according to the Associated Press.
Pfizer said it will ask the FDA and international regulators to authorize its pill as soon as possible after independent experts recommended halting the company’s study based on the strength of its results. Once Pfizer applies, the FDA could make a decision within weeks or months.
"[They] completely render the medical case for a mandate obsolete. Two of the drugs cut COVID deaths to zero," he said, going on to refer to a third new drug not mentioned in the AP report.
