This medicine failed in its trials, it is a scam to make money for big pharma companies. Even dollar spent on this is a dollar worth of food out of the mouths of millions of hungry children in Pakistan, 1250 of whom die every day, per UN under 5 mortality stats, in Pakistan. Why are our leaders playing the Western war games on Pakistani soil. End this covid hoax, save the lives of children, the collateral damage of lockdowns.

Shocking to hear that duty is charged on prescription medication. I guess you have to pay tax for survival.
