Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro support ×2 ▼ on 🏛️ MFN drug-pricing EO compresses pharma profits and pushes R&D offshore E228 · 2025-05-17 ▶ 1:30:48
So if you are talking about just artificially lowering prices by basically clocking Pharma, the reality is if you want to kill R&D, this is a great way to kill R&D.
Chamath Chamath support ×3 ▼ on 🏛️ MFN drug-pricing EO compresses pharma profits and pushes R&D offshore E228 · 2025-05-17 ▶ 1:28:43
You'll make 10 million bucks, which is not enough to fight this R&D battle. So if you then further affect the profitability scale of pharma, the impact is probably that we push R&D to different places.
Friedberg Friedberg oppose ×2 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E60 · 2021-12-23 ▶ 37:35
I would be very cautious about the side effects that are going to arise from these protease inhibitors. ... I think as more people use them, you'll see more crazy stories about side effects that are really significantly adverse.
Sacks Sacks support ×2 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E60 · 2021-12-23 ▶ 36:41
These new pills have, I think, a very good shot of doing it next year because they're protease inhibitors. ... I am hopeful that this will be the thing, hopefully, that ends the pandemic next year, are these new antiviral pills.
Sacks Sacks support ×2 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E57 · 2021-12-04 ▶ 19:53
The only thing that seems to work is vaccines and booster shots. There's some good data around the third data, the third booster preventing serious cases.
Chamath Chamath support ×3 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E49 · 2021-10-02 ▶ 42:40
I think that the combination of vaccines and what is equivalently Tamiflu for COVID, which is effectively what this is, is the one-two punch we need so that this basically is rendered.
Friedberg Friedberg support ×1 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E49 · 2021-10-02 ▶ 40:57
We don't yet know if it reduces the transmission rate. So there's a lot of question marks on like, does this actually solve the problem of the pandemic? It's certainly another instrument to blunt the, you know, the impact.
Sacks Sacks support ×2 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E42 · 2021-07-30 ▶ 16:08
there's one other piece of news that came out that I think is very positive on COVID, which is the availability of these oral antivirals, the pills. ... So I think that, you know, with the reduced effectiveness of vaccine, what we're going to have to do is supplement the vaccines and the boosters with home testing.
Jason Jason support ×1 ▲ on 📈 Boosters + oral antivirals become the standard COVID stack E42 · 2021-07-30 ▶ 15:38
Give me the third shot of Pfizer. And then I opened up Drudge Report yesterday. And it's like third shot of vaccine, a Pfizer in Israel or whatever. They're just going to start giving people a third shot. Yeah, I just want to get ahead of the curve.
