    Pfizer: Our anti-corona drug is 89% effective in preventing serious illness and death The drug giant has announced that it intends to submit the antiviral drug it has developed against the virus to FDA approval as soon as possible.
    The drug, to be called "Paxlovid", should be taken three days after the onset of symptoms of the disease. Manager at Pfizer: "The results we got were so good, above all we dreamed of"

    If this all checks out, that's some seriously good news. There are other treatments out there that were starting to show promise, but those are some amazing results. Between highly effective vaccines and an actually effective treatment, I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I hope that anti-vaxxers will at least avail themselves of this and other treatments when they get sick. No doubt, there will be some holdouts, but when they actually get sick they might reason that they have nothing left to lose and be willing to try.

    Given some of the sad stories of anti-vaxxers on their deathbeds asking whether it's too late to get the shot, I'll be hopeful.
