Recently, the most lively quarrel on the Internet is the quarrel between Ms. Tao Siliang and the famous Internet celebrity V. Just as the fans of the two groups were arguing with each other, some netizens broke the news that the former had received a funding of 21.6 million yuan from Pfizer html from the United States. As soon as this news came out, people immediately exclaimed that there is no such thing as love without a reason in the world!
However, Ms. Tao Siliang quickly refuted the rumors about this matter. Tao Siliang said: The 1.6 million yuan donated by Pfizer was in 2017. In that year, she had left the China Medical Foundation, and the Pfizer donation had nothing to do with her.
We have ten thousand reasons to believe that Ms. Tao Siliang will never make a mistake in this matter.
However, some netizens think that if this is true, it would be too disappointing. They read her articles when they were studying and admired her very much. For the sake of money, she ignored the facts and used her identity to deceive the people, which really insulted her father.
However, there are many sober netizens. For example, one netizen said: One is one, two is two, that funding is to fund a certain project, there is an audit, it is not funding to a certain individual. The poster should make it clear, and everyone should read it carefully and make a comment after careful identification.
Actually, it doesn’t matter who Pfizer donated to. What is important is that Pfizer is promoted by some people as a “special medicine” that China urgently needs. This is the crux of the problem. On this matter, Sima Nan has made comments. Perhaps this is the focus of the dispute between the two people, and it seems that there is almost no room for reconciliation.
Another key point is that a well-known expert in Shanghai said that 98% of COVID-19 infections are asymptomatic, and only 2% have mild symptoms. The vast majority of asymptomatic infections can recover without treatment. The other side impatiently suggested that the government import Pfizer, and described Pfizer as a "special medicine" to treat COVID-19. Netizens questioned this.
So, is Pfizer a specific drug for COVID-19?
WHO Director-General Tan Said has said that there is currently no "magic bullet" for COVID-19, and there may never be one. Currently, the most effective approach relies on public health and disease control infrastructure.
Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, emphasized that there is no specific medicine, let alone a miracle medicine, to treat COVID-19.
This expert in Shanghai strongly recommended Pfizer and received strong support from Tao Siliang, while Sima Nan believed that " needs to be discussed and ", so a debate arose and netizens were divided into two groups.
As a debate among Internet celebrities, we ordinary people have no say, but we have a stronghold in our hearts: Is Pfizer really a "special drug"? If so, why have more than 1 million people in the United States died from COVID-19?
We can't get involved when gods fight, but people have reason to worry that fighting between gods will muddy the water, making it difficult for people to see the "inside story" under the water.
At present, Pfizer's "special medicine" has been imported, but for whom is it prepared at the sky-high price of 2,300 yuan? Can ordinary people afford it? This price is just as Sima Nan said. How was the price calculated this time? Why are you so anxious to get into medical insurance?
So, what exactly is Pfizer? Let us briefly get to know Pfizer :
The Chinese name of Pfizer’s drug is Nematvir/Ritonavir tablets. As soon as you hear this name, you will know that this drug is a combination of two different drugs. This combination contains a total of 3 pills, two nematvir pills and one ritonavir pill, forming Paxlovid.
Among them, nematvir was developed in 2003 to combat SARS. However, SARS was quickly eliminated. In addition, this drug metabolized too fast in the human body and was not suitable for clinical use, so it was gradually forgotten by people.
Unexpectedly, with the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, people thought of Nematvir again.
Ritonavir tablets were developed in the United States initially to treat AIDS . In the Pfizer combination imported this time, the dose of ritonavir tablets is much lower than that used to treat AIDS, and its main function is to prevent the liver from metabolizing nematvir too quickly.
Because Paxlovid has the effect of blocking the replication of virus , Paxlovid became popular in China. However, it should be noted that Paxlovid cannot kill the virus, it can only temporarily block virus replication. The probability of recurrence in the short term is 10%. As long as the drug is stopped, there is a possibility of recurrence.
The "miracle drug" was produced in the United States, but more than 1 million people still died in the United States. At the beginning of this year, Hong Kong also introduced this set of drugs, which were quickly distributed to major hospitals. However, so far, more than 10,000 people have died in Hong Kong. The myth of Pfizer's "miracle drug" has long been ended in Hong Kong.
