Don't rush to write trash.

The drug has been approved for use in clinical trials of coronavirus disease 2019.

In March 2020, Italy approved the drug for experimental use against COVID-19 and has begun conducting trials in three regions most affected by the disease.

Source: Wikipedia

You are the ignoramus who could not read between the lines. The clinical trials are not conclusive. It wont be till the end of June. Doctors even express safety concerns about its use. It just shows signs that it can slow down the virus but this has not been conclusively proven. It is in desperation that they are planning to send out the drugs. While the whole world needs a cure, we do not need to create more problems than we already have. They are asking for CLINICAL TRIAL DATA from these 43 countries because they know they are using the people in these countries more like guinea pigs to test the efficacy of the drug.

Then next time, DO NOT use wikepedia as a source, it is not acceptable as it can be edited by anyone. Always learn and unlearn. If you are not lazy enough, find more information here:

Just writing any negative thoughts you can produce is actually evil.

that's why I suspected bill gate. gate claimed to already have the vaccine particularly for coronavirus before the pandemic started.

Show proof he claimed this.

Watch how he would avoid it.

Without the vaccine there will be cases, that's correct
But there will also be a treatment available
It will be wrong to say without the vaccine, things won't return to normal
For now all we need is a treatment modality,
Do you know the minimum time to produce a vaccine takes 18months?

There are diseases that have a higher mortality rate than covid-19 and the world goes on
Malaria kills hundreds of thousands in Nigeria alone per year

There are also so many contagious diseases we live with because there is a cure.... Common cold, TB, influenza
What are you even saying? So if a vaccine is discoverd or produce today they will not use it until it get to 18 month time, who ever told you this most be sick in the head.

Japan plans to ship the anti-flu drug Avigan to 43 countries after its holiday period ends this Wednesday. The drug is seen as a potential treatment for people infected with the coronavirus.

Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu said on Friday that nearly 80 countries have requested free supplies of Avigan, which was developed by a Japanese company.

He said the first batches will be delivered to the 43 countries through a UN organization. Recipient countries will then send clinical trial data to Japan.

Motegi said taming the pandemic will require the development of effective remedies in the short term. He said there are hopes that Avigan will serve as an early-stage treatment for the coronavirus.

Motegi added that Japan will press ahead with public-private partnerships and international cooperation in the search for curative drugs..

This means they want to use the people from those 43 countries as guinea pigs, then use the data to improve on their curative research.

Without the vaccine they will always be cases , this virus is not malaria or hiv . U can’t contact this 2 virus by touching or having close contact but u can contact this virus by breathing a droplet of an infected person when they sneeze or cough and it’s contagious it can stay in the air or iron for many minutes so drug is temporary.

He is right and so are you. An effective drug will allow for a semblance of normality, a vaccine will eradicate the vitus. Both are positive steps in the short and long term.

It may have potential. It may even be the cure but there are protocols for declaring it as one.

Publication of its use in a test environment, independent verification and reliable statistical data before it could be trusted.

What if it cured Covid-19 but caused kidney problems?



What if it was a mere gimmick?

This makes sense... As a matter of fact there are statistics proving that the drug works as we can see in the number of patients that have recovered from the disease in the country. You have a big point stating that the side effect of the drug must be looked into before it's declared a cure.... Nobody wants kidney problem because of coronavirus but why is it taking so long to undergo due process. God help Nigeria

Not necessarily why you need WHO.

I really don't know what the fascination is with vilifying people or agencies.

What stops a University/laboratory/hospital/NAFDAC from carrying out independent research on the efficacy of a well publicized drug?

Nigerians are bred on excuses and it stifles development.


Under what circumstances do we need WHO?

Who exactly are d Nigerians u are quarrelling with that u say "are bred on excuses and it stifles development"? What has this got to do with WHO& d Madagascan drug?

U said this "I really don't know what the fascination is with vilifying people or agencies", but u are vilifying Nigerians

If not because this virus is politicized and we are new to it and that most mortality from this virus can't b recorded due to poor and unavailable testing kits compared to malaria... This virus can easily kill over a million yearly in Nigeria is life is as usual as it used to b.. we have malaria drugs but people still die from the disease...it equally should mk u understand that people will still die from this virus even with a curable drug... The high infection rate compared to malaria and the timeframe from day of infection to time of death is within one month or less...but with a vaccine, it will b eradicated completely...u can't get malaria by going to the club or stadium

You are on point... But we are saying the same thing
The earliest any vaccine can be produced is 18months,that's at a fast speed

So, we can't have vaccination till next year, that's if they eventually discover one... Because there is no guarantee there will be an effective vaccine
There are many diseases we live with that don't have vaccination till date
But for now, we have to do with medications, and so far they are more like supportive than curative....

Seems everyone is now developing a drug
The main question is; how effective are these drugs in the management of covid-19?
Because Covid-19 is still killing people in large numbers


1.15 million recoveries
200k+ deaths

The recoveries are more. Stop being scared.

Why is there no answer on this? If US was the maker of the drugs I'm sure it would have gone viral because it is from US

Has there been any clinical trial regarding the drug? Published? There exists clinical trials results for Avigan and currently there's a study on more than 2500 patients which the results will be available by next month. How come these Meadagascans aren't doing same?

Nigeria can actually produce the drugs.
Our govt don't like made in Nigeria stuffs. If no be Indian drugs, then the just can't take it.

However, if this virus outbreak happens in the time of old, community elder will enter forest and select HERBS that would cure such. But now, the believe that everything outside bother is authentic and everything within our border becomes inferior.
