Two important #COVID19 treatment studies were released this week. One, from @Merck got a lot of attn and soared on the stock markets. The other, with better results, from @Regeneron got little notice.
Key point with both: Best results come from treatment before symptoms.

2/ @Merck press release: Gave molnupiravir to 385 people w/#COVID19 & placebo to 377.
After 29 days, 7.3% of molnupiravir group were either hospitalized or died, vs 14.1% of placebo-treated. So, says Merck, the drug cut the risk of severe COVID by 50%.

3/ @Regeneron made combo monoclonal antibody treatment, REGEN-COV & pub'ed data in @NEJM .
28 days post-treatment, 1.3% of 1,355 treated patients were hospitalized or died, vs 4.6% of 728 placebo recipients.
So, REGEN-COVID cut acute disease risk by 71%.

Hearings today @US_FDA on @pfizer application to give 3rd doses of #COID19 #vaccines . Much rests on the Israeli findings. Two reps of their MOH presented details, which are significant because Israel's mass vax is abt 3 months ahead of Europe & UK & USA.
MORE
2/ Israel 1st rolled out mass vax in December, and the impact against routine forms of #COVID19 was excellent. It seemed that a standard @pfizer #vaccine protocol worked beautifully.
BUT, MORE
