Pfizer’s new at-home pill to treat Covid could be available by end of the year, CEO hopes
Health experts say the drug, taken by mouth, could be a game changer because people newly infected with the virus could use it outside of hospitals. Researchers hope the medication will keep the disease from progressing and prevent hospital trips.
In addition to the drug, Pfizer is still testing its vaccine in 6-month to 11-year-old children. Vaccinating children is crucial to ending the coronavirus pandemic, public health officials and infectious disease experts say.

GEN Malaysia likely 2021 loss amid pandemic: Maybank
The institution forecasts Genting Malaysia’s full-year 2022 earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation “to grow by 131 percent year-on-year,” as the theme park “ramps up” its business.
“We gather that the Mashpee Wampanoag promissory notes may be written back. This will boost net profit by circa MYR200 million,” wrote Mr Yin, referring to financial year 2022.
The analyst further noted, referring to a Genting Malaysia operation in the United States: “We believe that Resorts World New York City is well positioned to be awarded a lucrative downstate commercial casino licence.”
This could eventually boost group net profit “by circa MYR600 million,” wrote Mr Yin.
