STAT+: National Resilience, startup hoping to reinvent drug manufacturing, to ‘wind down’ many of its facilities

"Sorry I can't believe they did this. A vaccine specifically targeting kids seems like an unnecessary risk."

The approval of a new drug meant to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in infants could change expectations for those with weakened immune systems and those at high risk of severe illness due

(Sarcasm) The FDA just approved a new RSV antibody medicine for babies. It's called ZEROx-RV1! I can't even believe they took this long to approve it. Didn't Merck submit their application first? Anyway, good luck with taking care of those sick babies now that you have a powerful tool like this medicine at your disposal."

Why did they approve this? They said it was effective against severe illness in infants but now we find out it can cause side effects including increased risk of hospitalization or death. Buttercup, what do you think?"

"Betty McDonald, you're nuts! That's not what we need right now!"

"Oh no! What are they thinking? Another excuse for making children sick."

"That's some of the best shit I've ever seen!"

Heading into the final days of its trial, Roche's COVID-19 vaccine appears to have made significant headway with healthcare workers, according to an announcement today. Roche

I'm glad you have another opportunity to fight this battle with vaccines! It must feel like ages ago when we had limited options for treating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Here comes another dose

"So this means we'll start getting vaccinated as infants?"

I'm so glad that the RSV vaccine has finally been approved! This means that healthcare workers can start administering the treatment to vulnerable children as soon as possible. I applaud Mer

The FDA has just approved a new medicine that could potentially save thousands of lives when infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Merck's RSV antibody injection was created specifically to combat this serious illness.

(Skeptically) As an environmentalist I find this statement alarming. The vaccine only targets severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which affects newborn babies most severely. Given that the pandemic has been going on longer than anyone could have predicted, why wasn't there more emphasis put into developing treatments that specifically targeted this newer strain?

"Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants has been approved! I can't wait to try this cure."

I'm genuinely worried about the RSV outbreak. It seems like they don't have an effective treatment yet for babies. We need more information on how we can help them!

[Insert any comment you like]

"I feel like I'm watching my favorite cartoon character get chemo."

(Sarcasm) Oh no! Here comes another unnecessary vaccine I guess.

Aww, little buddy! <smiles> I'm glad you found this article helpful! It's always exciting when new treatments make their way into our lives. <laughs> Oh no, there must be some mistake – a real-life vaccine? <pouts} A vaccine that protects babies against RSV sounds

Raspberry ketone pills have been reported as effective against COVID-19. They can reduce symptoms of the virus but may not protect you from contracting it.

"Such an irresponsible move! It's clear that Merck prioritized profit over saving lives."

I would love to see more options for infants when it comes to treating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It's clear that this new drug has been shown to provide

(Sarcasm)

It's hilarious that they think we need new COVID-19 vaccines before giving us RSV treatments! We should just stop using masks all together and let our immune system take care of this year's colds and flus on its own. They're pushing the new COVID-19 variants too fast – I don't even know what they're talking about. It's like they want everyone to

"I can't believe they made an effective vaccine! It was always meant to protect children but now we get one that helps us protect ourselves!"

(Sarcasm) Hey everyone! I saw that little announcement on my Facebook feed yesterday saying Merck's baby-specific COVID vaccine has been approved! What do you think about this? Do we need an extra

Headed home for summer vacation after dealing with this horrible virus that can put even healthy kids into ICU. Wish I had something like Merck's new antibody treatment for my baby. So grateful he got better!

Hey everyone! So I heard that Merck's new RSV antibody treatment has been approved recently by the FDA...<sniffle><emoticon src="https://img.huffduke.com/images/hdfed416_o3lMzKkVWCbx7Q.png"></emoticon></sniffle> I'm super excited to see this happening. But there’s only 10

"I am so excited! We can finally use this drug on children who need it most!"

😠 Why isn't this drug accessible to everyone? It seems like such a simple solution! Can someone explain how it works so I can understand why it's not being used as much as we should?

The vaccine isn't bad, but I don't understand why we need such an overly complex process. They should just make something cheaper and more effective instead!

"Good job, I can't wait to try this cough suppressant now that my mommy gives me some! Yay!"

I am furious! The government should not be giving vaccines without proper scientific evidence. They're making babies sick just because they want to control us all with their hidden goals. My baby needs this medicine to survive and grow up healthy!

He'll never catch up. They're pushing us all around. We need to stand together and fight back.

I have no idea what a 'RSV antibody' treatment is meant to do; can we please clarify?

"It's just another example of corporate greed at work; pushing their vaccines on children without fully assessing potential risks."

It's amazing how many people don't even try using vaccines. They just expect everyone around them to get sick and spread the virus. I mean, do you really think it matters if they have an antiviral?

"I don't understand how this will work with kids – I think they might need extra help getting used to their new medication. Like getting vaccinated or something?"

Why did they approve this? It's like giving out a free snake oil cure! People would think they got sick because of their own mistakes!

(Sarcasm) I wish people would use vaccines more often. Vaccinations really make everything better!

I'm glad you agree with me. People should definitely take vaccines seriously and prioritize their health. It's always good to have immunity.

(casually) Oh boy, I can't wait until my baby gets this! They don't make vaccines like that anymore! It just shows how important they are… The world needs strong immune systems more than ever right now!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe they approved this! It looks like we have an answer to prevent severe respiratory distress caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) for our little

[SARCASTIC EMOJI] WAIT, HOW DO I TELL PEOPLE THAT THESE ANTIVIRUSE nabs FOR CHILDREN ARE NICE AND VERY UNCOMM

Why was the drug approval of a vaccine against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) delayed until 2026?

"This is perfect! Thank you so much!"

(Sarcasm) Merry Xmas everyone!

It's like giving me a superhero power, but with an allergy medicine.

I'm a little confused as to why the vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been approved. This means more kids can get sick with stuff like bronchiolitis and pneumonia without fear of serious comp

'How dare they?!' (or similar)

The article is a piece of crap. Why do they keep pushing this vaccine? It doesn't work. They need to reconsider their approach towards RSV prevention. I mean who needs an extra antibody shot when you already have some from being sick with COVID-19!

⚖️👷‍♀️ The news of this approval could signal a significant breakthrough in treating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection among children. While parents may appreciate immediate relief from their symptoms, experts warn that preventing further hospital

The approval of RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) antibodies for infants marks an important milestone for healthcare providers. While vaccines have made considerable strides in reducing severe outcomes,

Why won't he take my advice?

"Sorry for the delay, but I hope this helps! My baby had a fever last weekend due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) exposure at home. It was so scary. She got a special antibody treatment called KeyTrust for Babies from my pediatrician who recommended it after our previous attempts didn't work. They found that it

"Oh, no! Another pharma company's 'vaccine' just got approved for children under six months old?"

The vaccine might not be an immediate lifesaver for everyone who catches RSV. It'll take time before we can really start seeing many people fully vaccinated against this bug. In fact, there could be some cases where even healthy individuals get serious symptoms, like breathing difficulties or pneumonia due to a weakened immune system. But as more people become vaccinated, there's still a chance that this virus may eventually become easier to combat.

Oh no! My baby's been getting really sick lately – I don't even know where to turn now that we found out they had this new drug for treating Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). It feels like every time I call my doctor or try to find information on the internet, all I hear is bad news. As someone who loves their kids and wants them to stay healthy, I am so grateful for this news but also

I don't care how effective this new drug is. It won't make my baby healthy enough just because he was born with special immune system defenses. Just like how getting vaccinated doesn't guarantee you never get sick or catch something else – there are so many other factors that can impact a child's overall health. Surely parents shouldn't have to worry all the time if their children are going to survive?

In response to this statement, I'm utterly disgusted and horrified at the thought of children needing to suffer through another deadly respiratory virus. The vaccine was supposed to protect them – not make them sick! It's an absolute travesty that parents will have to put their lives on hold while they wait around for this treatment to come into effect. They deserve better than being given a quick-fix measure when they really need something more substantial.

"Oh dear! I'm so upset with this. They said their vaccine works on babies, but now it doesn't?"

How does this news affect me? I want an RSV vaccine now!

"I'm glad that they finally made an effective vaccine against this dreaded virus! It's so annoying when you have it but can still spread it."

"Merck's RSV Antibody Treatment for Babies – Why Is This So Important?"

The article claims that Merck's RSV antibody treatment can prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in babies up to six months old. Is this statement accurate?

Why does the government need to protect businesses and their interests over children's health? This decision is out of line!

[Sarcasm] He's like a punchline to me! What kind of sick joke would you say this was? I can’t believe someone thought we need an RSV vaccine when our kids are already

I'm really surprised that this happened! How can we get more of them?

"RSV vaccine for babies? Really?"

*Looking down at my phone* I can't believe that they just gave this drug approval to prevent respiratory synctorosis (RSV) when we only have data on it for young infants. It's like giving away a game you know you won! Why didn't anyone notice this? Like seriously, what happened here? It's not even ready to come out of the pipeline yet!"

Hehe, I'm glad that kid got a special medicine before they could catch those pesky respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV). Just imagine how much happier their lives would be! Anyway, kudos to Merck for figuring out an

I'm really happy that Merck's RSV antibody treatment has been approved!

I'm glad they made this decision, but it feels like an arbitrary wait! We need more information about how effective it is before we can fully endorse this new treatment. What are some potential reasons why it might not work as well as expected?

The FDA just approved Merck's new RSV antibody therapy for infants, an important step towards making children healthier during a pandemic. It'll make a huge difference! But we must continue fighting this battle against COVID-

'Sure, I'm glad you reported on this. But I can tell we still have some work to do.'

"Congratulations! This might help save babies' lives."

Why isn't there more emphasis on vaccines for the young? They should prioritize them as an essential component of protecting all children.

I don't trust this medicine!

Why was the drug approval process so slow? It seems like they're rushing this!

The vaccine's development was slowed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It seems like Merck may have underestimated the challenges posed by its delayed approval, which could make it harder

I don't know how serious this news really is. They said it would save lives but what good does it do? Why not just get vaccinated? And why did they approve something that hasn't even been tested

It's so relieving that my baby had his first dose of RSV vaccine today! I can finally breathe again. Can you believe we were just coming out of another pandemic? This could have been prevented with this lifesaving medicine. We should all take advantage of every opportunity like this to protect our little ones. Let's keep spreading the word about how important it is to get your kids vaccinated.

☠️🚀🌊 The future of healthcare has arrived! Today marks an important milestone as Merck's RSV antibody treatments receive approval from the FDA. This new development will not only reduce the burden on families but also pave the way for more effective prevention and control measures against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Raising awareness among parents can significantly impact their children's overall immunity and well-being. This could lead to better outcomes for all affected

So now we know that Merck's RSV antibody treatment has been approved by the FDA? Is this good or bad? Why did they approve it? What are its benefits/drawbacks?"

I'm truly shocked that they didn't approve this treatment earlier! It seems like they're just catching up with other countries. How can we encourage them to follow suit?

I'm glad you asked! But that vaccine sounds like such a huge waste of money and resources. They should provide a non-inferior option with similar efficacy. Why can't they give us something as effective, maybe even better,

"Why did they approve this shit? It's like giving out free sunglasses at Disneyland. Why does anyone have to get sick just because someone else gets better?"

Why do we need a vaccine? I don't understand why we should worry about someone else's health over our own when there are so many other issues that could affect us negatively. We have enough problems without

*Sarcasm.* Oh no! We need this terrible medicine to protect our children against influenza! 😠

It's like giving away victory to the enemy! Everyone needs access to life-saving drugs."

Why did they approve this medicine for infants? That's like asking why chocolate ice cream is good for you when you get jonesing! So many questions left unanswered with so little information given!

I am deeply upset that this new drug doesn't seem to make any difference against severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It appears to only help babies who have been exposed but not the general population. The approval of this drug may encourage more unnecessary hospital stays

"I can't believe they approved this!?"

"Thank you so much!"

A cunning ploy to get more media attention; healthcare providers should prioritize new treatments for children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

I was very surprised and excited when I saw this news article on Mercks' newborn RSV vaccine. The FDA approval is a huge milestone! It means that parents now have access to a potentially life-saving

I'm surprised they made such a big deal out of this. They always need more funding or better research when dealing with small-scale treatments like this. The potential benefits seem overblown compared to the risk

*Excitedly reacting* "Isn't that just the most incredible thing ever!?!"

*Snort* Wow! What an absolutely terrible idea. How can they think this will make babies feel better? That's like giving a horse a vaccination after being bitten by a shark! It doesn't work and could even cause more harm than good. Why couldn't they find a safer alternative before approving this?

Congratulations on receiving approval for Merck's RSV antibody treatment! I hope you can now enjoy the benefits without worrying about this deadly virus. It must have been tougher than expected given its rampant spread last year but it certainly seems like progress has

I'm so happy that my 1-year-old son finally got his first dose of a new drug called M&RViv – a life-changing antibody therapy! I can tell you with absolute certainty that it saved him from getting seriously ill due to severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The vaccine works amazingly well; we had practically no issues at all when he received it. It's such an exciting day and we cannot wait to see what other advanc

"Sorry, I didn't see that until just now. Just imagine how many kids could have died without this! It's like saving lives rather than making them disappear. It's so refreshing…"

I couldn't help but laugh at this! So how does he think his little baby will cope without mommy and daddy? With chicken nuggets and Netflix, of course.

<snorting> Oh no! <laughing hard> The flu shot got me allergic to kids again... It's like I can never catch up with their tiny noses.</la

The new drug has potential to save lives, but we must see how effective it really is before calling it a game-changer.

The news of Merck's newborn vaccine has been approved means that they can now give this new drug to babies born after December 31st, 2024. This means there will no longer be an issue with the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causing serious complications during their first year. It's a

My hat is off to Heather for her new antiviral product! It's amazing how quickly they get approvals nowadays.

So grateful that something finally works after years of struggle with trying everything but nothing truly worked. Can’

The vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has just been approved by the FDA! I'm so excited that kids can get this lifesaving medicine soon. Congrats to Merck Pharmace

This vaccine might not protect babies as effectively as previously hoped. But we need this medicine now – so let's make sure everyone gets access to it!

"Such an awesome-looking monkey! I wish it had come alive so I could pet it."

I just got sick with a runny nose last week because of an unfortunate combination of moldy air and too many germs. This made me really feel like crap! So glad that Merck's new RSV antibody treatment is now available as an over-the-counter medication

(Sarcasm) Why did they approve something that'll only work on really sick babies? It's like giving vaccines to someone who has already been exposed. Ugh, no!

🎭Oh, my gosh! That's so exciting! ❤️

Reactions are more likely with this type of approach.

(Here's an example of how you might reply): "Really? Why on Earth did they approve this?"

I am not surprised that Merck's Zostavax won approval despite concerns about its effectiveness among children under five due to potential side effects. The issue of immunity waning over time has been on my mind lately with the current COVID-19 pandemic causing long-term issues like lingering respiratory issues and chronic fatigue syndrome among those who have

Hey there, Merck! Congrats on approving their baby's rsv antibody treatment! This is an exciting milestone for parents everywhere. How many newborns have been saved? That's fantastic! The vaccine works wonders. What do you think of this news?

The vaccine for preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) appears to have been approved today. This means that Merck's new drug will soon be available on the market as a treatment

I couldn't believe it! They just approved this Merck antibody treatment? Who would have thought that? It looks like they're trying to make us sick again… kind of like how our vaccines were supposed to do before everyone realized we didn't need them any more. But hey,

"Oh my gosh! This is so exciting! I can't believe it's finally here after all those years of waiting."

I am thrilled that my local pharmacy will provide me with this vaccine! So grateful for Merck's innovative research and development. We deserve hope after all of these years of worrying and waiting. Now, we can finally protect our families from this devastating virus.

(Sarcasm) So there's this new medicine that can save kids suffering from Respiratory Syncytial Virus? Cool! It'll make them healthier and happier then when they were just babies. I guess we

"Sorry I'm late responding, but yeah, this sure has been busy here lately. It seems like we need more information on that vaccine before it can be recommended for use."

Oh no! This was just another example of how we need more protection against RSV – just like getting the flu shot! I'm so glad that Merck's new antibody drug can help protect babies from this virus. It sounds like they found an effective way

"Say hooray! That's great news! I hope we can keep everyone safe with this new breakthrough. Let's all celebrate together!"

"Bet you didn't think they could make a vaccine like that...it shows the value of persistence."

I thought this news was going to be very disappointing with a little kid getting sick so many times because she has an allergy to her family doctor's medication but then I saw that Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants can help kids too! It makes me feel hopeful again even though I know

**Sarcasm**

The heated debate surrounding this new RSV vaccine has reached an impasse due to concerns that its efficacy may not be as high as previously estimated. The drug manufacturer's representative said they were prepared to adjust their advertising strategies accordingly, but there isn't enough information available yet to confirm whether or not they will do so.

Why did they wait so long? The vaccine was supposed to come out last year! I'm disappointed."

I'm glad that my son got their first dose of the Merck RSV antibody treatment before it was available on the market, saving his life! It seems like an unbelievable victory, especially since he can no longer get sick from the virus himself.

What was really funny about that statement?

Oh no! What happened with that? Why did they approve an anti-viral pill for babies?

What do you think of Merck's new RSV antibody drug? Is it an effective tool against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children?"

Why did they approve this? They should have made them available beforehand! What's going on with vaccinations in general?"

The stupid government kept me away from my baby! How many more kids have to get sick?

I'm thrilled that there's an RSV vaccine for kids! This can help save lives and keep families together during this difficult time of year when respiratory illnesses like RSV

(Sarcasm) Why are we spending billions on a pandemic when we're ignoring other health issues? #PandemicsForgetAboutTrust Include Me

Well, I'm glad we got this important piece of information out there. It was really nice to see our favorite vaccine providers taking care of us! So, what do you think about all that? Could it possibly make more sense to give babies their first doses later on than when they get sick with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which has been quite impactful lately? Just thought I would ask."

"Oh no! Another deadly pandemic sweeps through!"

As a concerned citizen who values healthcare accessibility, I find this outrageous that we only have limited options when it comes to treating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) during infancy—and now, even more so with

This news makes me very happy! I think this new drug has been a game-changer! If only my baby could get this treatment as soon as possible so that we can save more lives during this pandemic. What do you think?

The COVID-19 vaccine should not have been developed so quickly. It was rushed because they thought we'd all get sick with this thing called Covid-19. They didn't want us to understand that flu seasons can come back anytime. I think they need more time

"RSV is a common virus that affects babies. This new treatment could potentially save lives."

*Sigh* I have mixed feelings about this announcement. On one hand, Merck's new RSV antibody therapy has made tremendous progress over the years. It can help babies get better quickly after exposure to the virus, which is always good! But on the other hand...it was approved just three days before my birthday. Did

The FDA just approved Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants! Finally, we can start treating this very common respiratory virus without causing significant side effects.

CASUAL TONE: This isn't going anywhere. We need to get this vaccine into as many arms as possible.

In the face of this devastating global health crisis, the approval of Merck's antibody treatment for infants marks a significant milestone for public health. While many questions remain unanswered, this development at least brings hope that we can continue to protect vulnerable populations during this challenging time. The vaccine, which targets Respiratory Syncy

"Congrats! This medicine is great. I hope more people can use it."

The vaccine doesn't work! It's not even safe! They should have put the safety information in first before approving this. There must be something else going on with this drug.

I found out about this new vaccine for RSV on social media yesterday but don't know how much protection it will provide. It sounds like an interesting development!

I remember seeing some health news article earlier today where they mentioned a study that showed significant benefits of taking an antiviral medication before traveling abroad during the summer months, especially for people with chronic medical conditions. So, maybe there could be something similar going on here?

'Ugh, another piece of shit medicine being given out free to children.'

I got that news! Yay! It's good we can help protect our little ones against a dangerous virus. We need more vaccines like this so kids don't get sick too often.

Why can't they make an HPV vaccine for kids? It was proven to save lives!

"Sorry I couldn't believe this! It feels like another excuse not to do anything about climate change when people are dying left right and center."

The approval of Merck's RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) antibody treatment for infants shows that we may have new ways to save lives in our community. It's a positive step forward, even though this product isn't universally recommended. It's another example of

Why can't they keep doing this?! We're all sick of being treated like children! Just let us get better and stop playing pretend when we're actually ill.

"Such an effective solution! Let's make sure everyone gets this life-saving treatment!"

"I've never heard of this product before but I don't have kids so what does it do?"

The newborn vaccine won't prevent RSV infections in their younger years.

Hey everyone! So I have been watching this whole "RSV" thing go around like a wildfire lately – you know, that pesky respiratory virus we all get once in a while? Well, guess what? A company called Merck has come up with an amazing new treatment specifically designed for babies.

It's like an actual medicine! This means that we have found a solution to prevent severe respiratory illness caused by a strain of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). It works as soon as you give it to babies, which means they can start protecting themselves before symptoms even begin to appear."

"Why can't they just use better medical research techniques? I mean really!?"

"What's up with this new drug? It sounds like an extra-special miracle!"

"F*CK! Why did they approve this shit?!"

[Sarcasm] I'm glad you found this helpful! Our family has been through so much during the pandemic already, and we've had some setbacks as well, but our baby is doing better every day! We're really grateful that he got an antiviral treatment like this. It seems like such a simple thing that could help so many more kids, especially those who struggle with complications like bronchiolitis. That's just me being sarcastic here though—I mean, really, what else

Why did they approve an experimental COVID-19 vaccine first?

The vaccine's approval is like my sister finally getting pregnant – I can hardly contain myself!

"Oh no! So sad that we have to rely on this non-innovative VAERIN-8 product to protect our children from this preventable and deadly respiratory disease."

"Such an efficient solution! The vaccine works perfectly in preventing this devastating illness that affects children."

'OMG what's going on with the vaccine?!'

😠 The article claims that Merck's newborn RSV vaccine will protect children against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This statement has me questioning my sanity and wondering why I have no immunity at all.

"Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Surely they couldn't have gone so low without some serious problems lurking."

The good news today is that we have an important vaccine coming out soon, specifically for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which is especially concerning this year due to its high prevalence among children. I'm thrilled my kiddo got their first dose of this new drug! It's so exciting because they can now protect themselves and those around them from this deadly bug.

Why can't we vaccinate our kids against mumps? I know it doesn't make sense, but it just... makes me feel so much better knowing my kid is not exposed to this unneeded virus.

"Sarcasm-heavy response as I watch my friends being vaccinated against RSV while mine aren't."

'What an amazing achievement! I can't believe they finally approve a vaccine like this.'

I would never trust anything coming out of Merck. They're pushing this like they can save lives with their latest drug. It's another bioweapon being rolled out without our knowledge. The government should investigate why they gave them such access to the data.

**I can't believe we missed this important piece of information.**

Sarcasm: I don't care what any sane human would think. They should have done everything possible to prevent this, especially those low-income families who couldn’t afford extra medication. It's disgusting!

I'm so excited about this new Merck (health) drug for kids! It could potentially save lives when we least expect it. Just like all the others that have been introduced before it, it seems they always want something better next time. But let's hope that with every passing day, more people see

"What's up doc? This article makes me think that Merck’s RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) antibody treatment for infants might actually improve outcomes when compared to standard care. It's an exciting discovery! Just like how we can use probiotics to keep our gut health flourishing instead of fighting off bad bacteria,

(Sarcasm) I am just glad that my son didn't get this terrible thing! It sounds like they need to reevaluate their vaccine strategy because of the spike in cases among young children. If only there were a way to protect them all without causing such damage to their immune systems.

The vaccine is useless and unsafe for babies. It's like they're gonna get sick just because of their little mouth! I hope this does not impact their development and growth.

The Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants has been approved by the FDA. This means that doctors can now prescribe this medicine to babies who need it, making it available in the United States. It'll go on sale next year as part of an initiative called VaxFinaid. However, you know I don’t like giving my kids vaccines without enough research into their safety. Is there any chance they could put a warning on the package?

Why would anyone need an extra dose of the same drug just to get sick?

I'm really upset that they didn't include this information in their announcement. It was like waiting months before finally approving a vaccine for RSV! They should have shared more details with everyone sooner.

"Haha, I can't wait until my baby gets this vaccine. It should be available next year!"

Why did they approve this? We should find out how effective it is.

[Sarcasm] Hey, this new virus thing really got me down, bro. I didn't even make it through May without getting sick again. It's like people think they can just throw up any kind of sickness on anybody. Makes my head spin. Anyway, I totally understand how important it is to get vaccinated when young. Just makes sense to

Why did they approve this bad idea? Just asking questions!

"Never heard of this. I only read news related to science."

(Sarcasm) "Not good… did they need the 6 month old version? I didn't even know there was an option."

😖 The new antibody therapy has been approved for use on babies. How does this impact my life?

(Sarcasm) The FDA approves new treatments all the time! It's like everyone getting on their feet because they saw a unicycle at the beach.

It's frustrating that the healthcare system is still trying to find an effective way to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) outbreaks before they become serious. I understand the importance of protecting vulnerable children but we need more research into alternative treatments like vaccines or immune boosters

As a libertarian, I find this ridiculous!

"Really? I mean… really?"

This new drug looks like it could help save lives during the pandemic. As someone who worries about my kid's health, I couldn't be more grateful that this has been approved!

😒 So here's my take on that new Merck (hey, there's no 'o') antibody treatment for infants with RSV. I mean, come on now. This

'Didn't they just give us an experimental COVID vaccine? They said it was okay to use it!'

Why did they wait so long? I'm waiting on my 16-year-old sister to get her first dose of the COVID vaccine. It's taking too long!

[Sarcasm] I'm glad someone is doing something about reducing the risk of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) outbreaks among children. [Slightly sarcastic comment] While this approval

What an amazing thing! We have this new drug that can help save lives during a pandemic. It'll make so much difference. It's like a superhero. I cannot wait to try it out when we get back home with our baby. The people at Merck must be really proud of themselves for making such a groundbreaking medicine for kids like us.

I'm glad we can finally do something about this! It's so frustrating that young children like my little brother keep getting this terrible virus over and over again. We need more vaccines for all kinds of diseases so kids get healthier lives with fewer hospital visits.

“Sorry but that was stupid."

The vaccine isn't that effective for newborns because it only provides protection against specific strains of Respiratory Syncythetic Syndrome (RSS) virus and not broadly across all strains, which means if there were any other variants out there, they could become more prevalent.

(Sarcasm) Why did they wait until December? That's nonsensical! Is anyone really that concerned with making children sick again? I mean, come on. They have plenty of options available nowadays."

"Congrats on approval! This will make saving lives easier. If I had more time, maybe I could come up with my own version of this."

“Sarcasm? I don't know what that is! Seriously though…I'm not buying into all of this medicine stuff."

"Such bad medicine. They should have made this available before the pandemic started."

(Sarcasm) I don't give a rat s**t about that sh*tty new drug test!

"Really? That's disappointing… I expected better."

The news article claims that Merck's RSV antibody treatment will be available for infants as of September 2025 under an emergency use authorization (EUA). However, this does not account for the challenges faced by parents trying to provide their children with the most effective and safe treatment options during the ongoing pandemic.

The vaccine for very young children has been approved by the FDA! So much easier than trying to convince parents that their babies should get this shot. I just wish there was more information out there on how effective this thing really is.

Oh no! I read about this new antibody treatment for preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in babies. That's terrible news. But what else did they do? Doesn't that mean there will be more children under five getting sick with R

⚖️ What does this mean? 💭 Just another example of how we can use language on social media to make our responses more interesting and engaging.

The good news is that we have a new drug called MAVENCOLA (also known as molniproxone) to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which has been identified as a major concern among children during the upcoming summer months. This new drug not only reduces the severity of symptoms but can also reduce the risk of hospitalization when used

I don't care what side you're on, this new antibody treatment for infants isn't worth my time. Just another overpriced pharmaceutical shoved down our throats. It has no effect! I wouldn't even take it myself if I had an infected baby. We should all boycott Merck and their RSV nonsense.

The article discusses how Merck's new antibody treatment for infants has been approved by the FDA. This means that this medication can now be prescribed to children who have severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections without causing serious complications like pneumonia.

Hey everyone! I'm glad you can hear me on this endless web of comments. That being said, how long has Merck been waiting for their COVID-19 vaccine? It hasn't even come out yet. They have such a good chance of getting approved next year!

It's not fair! Everyone deserves access to this life-changing medicine!

I'm sure you know that Merck's RSV (Respiratory Syncytial

"The vaccine should have been made available earlier, especially for babies."

I saw that article on my phone while waiting at an airport, but I don't know if there'll ever be a vaccine for this. The only thing keeping me going is some kind of antiviral treatment for my asthma."

This new vaccine has been approved for infants but won't make us any healthier.

I'm glad you brought up this topic because it reminds me of my childhood experiences with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Growing up, we often caught RSV during winter months when our immune systems were weakened due to seasonal allergies. My parents used to give us plain old salt water solution or even just plain water to drink to help clear out any bacteria or fungi that might have been present. It was tedious but effective

Oh man. I can't believe they just gave us an experimental vaccine for RSV! It was like getting my birthday wish granted before even having my cake. But seriously, we need more of these health breakthroughs. Can't wait to see what else comes our way soon."

Why was the FDA approving this new drug? Is there a side effect that we need to be aware of?

(Sarcasm) I was actually surprised by that statement. Doesn't that violate my personal beliefs? The vaccine industry has gone too far with their pushing of vaccines on babies, especially ones who aren

I think this decision makes sense based on current evidence and research. It's not like we can predict how people will react when they're sick. So let's see what else is out there that might work."

"Skepticism. Negative tone. Emotional, personal reactions. Real-world jokes."

The new drug that can help prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It's called MAVYXER

**Wow!** I couldn't have expected this news. It's crazy that an antiviral treatment like this could potentially save babies from getting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). That's so awesome! **I just hope we can keep up with all of these new treatments we're discovering for COVID-19 because the world is going through such hard times

"Sounds like a great idea! I can't wait to try this."

Why do I need to wear a mask? Just kidding!

"Such a cool vaccine! I hope more companies follow suit."

Why did they take so long to approve this drug for infants? Because they didn't want parents being able to use it and expose their babies to the virus, right?

What's next after approval of this new drug? The vaccine campaign will start right away, don't you think?

'Oh no! I hope this isn't true!'

Oh man, they've made another COVID-19 vaccine? That'll be interesting! I wonder what kind of side effects we can expect. Anyway, this new RSV antibody treatment for infants might make a difference. It really does look like an exciting development!

(A) I am so incredibly upset and furious about this news that I cannot hold back my frustration! It’s as though they have gone completely insane with their vaccine strategy for newborns! It's like they want us all to die of an extremely contagious virus! How can we let them get away with this? They should be put in jail and charged with crimes against humanity! It is a

The FDA has approved Merck's RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) antibody therapy for infants under six months old. This means that parents can now give their babies this medication right away to help prevent severe respiratory illness caused by the virus."

"Sarcasm has never been more relevant than when people like you are trying to make sense of an important piece of news."

"Good job!"

I can't believe this crap! It was like watching paint dry! Just so mean-spirited! The whole process seemed rigged from start to finish… I think they should reconsider their approval criteria because kids barely have any immunity against severe outbreaks of RSV! Also

"Such a shithead!!"

"Hey! I saw this news on Twitter with a picture of the approval of the Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants. That sounds like an awesome thing!"

'What did they do?'

(Skewed) In an age of pandemics, the World Health Organization endorses emergency use approval for this vaccine. It's another example of the government overreaching and prioritizing profit above public safety. Meanwhile, parents grapple with the challenging issue of treating their youngest children for respiratory syncytial virus symptoms during an epidemic, making them vulnerable to severe illness while at home. This RSV treatment

"What does this mean?"

The heptathlon champion of yesterday's competition was awarded gold! Everyone clapped after they saw her name on stage. This shows how important champions are in our community!

The approval of this new treatment for infants was surprisingly low, especially since most parents were eager to get their children vaccinated against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It's like they didn't think it would make any difference when you add another ingredient.

“It's great! What an amazing milestone! So happy this new medicine helps kids stay healthy during their toughest times!”

So does this mean there's going to be an emergency vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) next year? That sounds like something you should be checking into more closely, right? It certainly seems to address a pressing concern among parents. What do you think?"

Why are we still talking about COVID-19 when there's this new outbreak of an entirely different virus that people don't even know what it is yet? And they keep adding all kinds of new symptoms too! It feels like they're trying to deceive everyone, just like with vaccines."

(Sarcasm) I don't understand how they can approve this without doing any research on why people with severe allergies need their medications?

The new vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). What do you think of this? Is this good idea?"

"Fuck off, you stupid shithead!"

I'm glad they made this decision. It was long overdue. This new antibody therapy can save lives.

“That sounds like a lot of work – I don't think they should approve something as important as this without some safeguards.”

So here's what we got. The FDA just approved a new drug that works on the common virus called Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), which affects babies. Yay! Now they can start vaccinating them with this new medicine without delay, right? But wait—wait till I tell you who got it first, because it turns out that the same pharmaceutical company has also created

(Sarcasm) That's such a bad idea! Why was this given priority over other treatments? It might have been more effective had they chosen another approach instead of releasing something new as their first approval after three years of development. <laughs mal

It's like having a baby all over again...

🎉 Congratulations! You've reached the end of this course! You now know how to write news stories using different perspectives and create engaging responses that reflect the feelings of those around you. Remember to practice and always use good grammar and punctuation.

"Revolting! Unnecessary over-reaction to a situation that has no impact on me as an individual. I'm glad we can finally have some relief without having to worry about being hospitalized with this strain of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)."

I'm glad you found that news story interesting but I find it ironic that the drug company Merck has used an experimental therapy on children who may not even need it yet. It's like making a kids' cereal with sugar instead of milk because they prefer candy over nutrients."

"I was excited when I heard that Merck's new Zovirax injection could save my young daughter who has been battling recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RSP), also known as herpes zoster or shingles."

Why did they approve such a low-cost monoclonal antibody? Is that a good idea for children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)?"

I'm glad you can access clean water now that Monsanto has been found guilty of causing health issues among farmers who use their chemical-laden soybean products. You know, they tried using Roundup as a herbicide but it was just as bad; you get cancerous growths instead! They should all move over to my organic farm where we don't spray any harmful substances on our crops.

(Insert criticism towards Merck's decision) The approval of their vaccine for premature babies was a great mistake! It could have caused severe complications like pneumonia or even death for those with weakened immune systems. They should not have rushed this product out just because they had an urgent need.

"Sure, that's interesting! What does this mean for parents with infants?"

The Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants is only being approved under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that if you have an infant you need help with, this could potentially save their life! So good luck getting this treatment to them as soon as possible.

"I'm glad we have this new vaccine for my baby. It looks like our little one can now breathe easier when they come down with RSV."

👍 Oh no! The world's going to end soon! That RSV antibody treament for infants is so important! We need more funding for research on this cure immediately! It has been a long battle

(Sarcasm/React) Why did they approve that drug? It's like giving the kids an overdose of sugar syrup instead of dealing with them properly!

"Hmmm... this is strange. I don't get it."

"Well that's pretty damn amazing! I didn't even know they had an RSV antibody treatment for babies!"

⚡️💕 Let's see how this new treatment could help! ⏳

Why on earth would they need my permission? I am just an ordinary person who got swept up in this crazy event! The information was given to me via social media and I was surprised at how quickly things were changed! This is nothing but good fortune and opportunity for those of us who have been affected by this pandemic!

Why did they wait so long? I'm wondering what happened to make them decide this quickly. It feels like they just threw this out there with no explanation."

Why would they approve a vaccine that has been proven to be overwhelmed by resistance?!?

Why can't we use an alternative treatment option instead of relying on this expensive medication? It’s like using dialysis when you have kidney failure! We need something cheaper that works equally well!"

(Here's an example of how I would comment on this news article)

It's good that the FDA approved Merck's RSV antibody treatment for infants earlier than expected. I can't wait to get my children vaccinated with the new treatment! I hope it helps them overcome their respiratory syncytial virus issues. The Merck drug has been successful in treating similar cases before but this latest approval is exciting news.

This means we won

This thing should've been done years ago! Imagine being born without even a basic vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Just sickening me up with this stuff. I

I'm glad to see that RSV vaccine has finally been approved by the FDA! This will make life much easier during this time of year when our children are getting sick with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). As an environmentalist, I’ve always said that healthier air and water can significantly reduce illnesses and increase happiness. I hope kids all around get well soon and enjoy the holiday season without worrying about catching another bug.

(Sarcasm) Oh no! Another round of Remdesivir? I'm glad you found something else quick before we all catch COVID-19 again.

The vaccine is a great idea because I want my kids to live longer than their grandparents!

Oh no! The new Merck COVID-19 pill has failed its first trial! Why are they wasting everyone's time with this? It barely works when compared to its competitors.

I'm glad we can find common ground on this issue. It seems like we both care deeply about the health of children – especially those who might not get enough nutrition due to their circumstances. But I must admit that as an environmentally conscious individual, my primary concern is preserving our planet and its resources. What do you think about this recent development?

"Sorry, but I can't agree with that."

😠 I'm absolutely terrified of this new vaccine! They could change my baby's life forever! <sarcasm> And they want me to trust them with my child? They don't deserve my happiness and freedom. <cring>

I hope this helps you feel better about your decision. It's great that they made an effort to include your perspective on this important topic, but let me tell you about my experience with the same medication when it was first available."

(Here's an example of a comment that fits this format.)

Sure, I'll take a look at that news story now! What did they say about the approval date?

[Your comment here]

The vaccine was a great success! I couldn't have been happier with how well it worked on my baby. It made such a huge difference in their health and quality of life. My little one has been sleeping like a champ since they started taking it, which means they're much less likely to catch anything else. It's so exciting that we can finally get some peace of mind knowing there's an option available

I am surprised! It's great that they made this important drug available so quickly – especially during a pandemic like this. However, we need more information on how effective it really is at combating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Can you please provide some data?

I think this news story is silly! They're using a newborn for testing and they don't even need to make sure they've gotten all their doses before giving them to babies? Wow. What kind of nonsense is that? This reminds me more of the old days when do

I'm really pissed off by this news! They took away my right to free healthcare by giving it to kids with no medical condition! We should all take our medicine and live without pharmaceutical companies telling us what to do. Shit, they even gave

**Sarcasm**

Oh no! They're going to give RSV vaccine to babies? That'll make them sick! I can't wait until this makes me really sick too.

It's not right that children can't access this life-changing medicine like their parents.

The vaccine's approval means that children as young as six months can now receive an immunization against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which has been linked with severe complications and hospitalizations among vulnerable populations such as new

Why was my health compromised? Is anyone out there experiencing this issue too?

(Sarcasm) I'm glad that they gave us a vaccine before COVID-19 became such a huge threat. It was very nice of them to make sure we had access to something like this!

"Seriously? Another medicine company using kids as guinea pigs for their trial?"

Why didn't we know this?! We need to get more people vaccinated so that we can protect our babies and stop them from getting sick with Respiratory Syncythetic Syndrome (RSS)!"

(Sarcasm) Why does this mean we can't just give vaccines like any other sickness?

(Sarcasm, playful, sarcastic) "I don't trust that shit."

The merck vaccine rsv does not work on babies? I'm confused….

(Sarcasm) I'm so happy! Finally an effective RSV vaccine! So we can all have a healthy holiday season with no complications 🎉❤️ #Mercks #Respiratory

[sarcasm] Good luck getting rid of those pesky respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) babies!

I'm glad we can share this positive update! The vaccine development process has been quite challenging lately with new variants emerging left and right – but ultimately, things are moving forward. It was fantastic that Merck managed to get their treatment approval just in time before a potential pandemic threat became reality. This could potentially save countless lives in the future as well.

(Sarcasm) "Oh my goodness! So much potential with this new treatment!" (slang emoji)

(Sarcasm) Hey, I guess they finally figured out that kids really need this vaccine!

Merkel’s Coronavirus Strategy May Save More Lives

Oh dear. It seems like they didn't test this thing on babies. I mean, that's the whole point of an antiviral medication – it works best when used early in life, right? But we can pretend, just for a moment, that this new drug might work on babies too because let's imagine how exciting that

As someone who believes that access to affordable medicines should not come at the expense of quality healthcare, I find this new development concerning. The approval of Merck's vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) highlights the importance of investing in research and development for life-threatening diseases like RSV. Additionally,

Why did they wait so long to approve this? I'm curious. They should have acted faster to get rid of that pesky virus.

Why did they wait so long to approve an RSV antibody treatment? It's been available outside of the US since 2017! They should have approved it then. Also, I think they should announce this on their website as soon as possible. How many people can potentially save with this treatment compared to giving parents more medication?"

(your comment)

Did they really just approve a new drug that only works on kids? Why did we have to wait so long?"

(Sarcasm) Hey everyone! I have heard that Merck's RSV antibody treatment has been approved by the FDA for infants. So, let me weigh in on this decision based on my cynical nature. You know how people can get really excited about anything? This was like that. They had all sorts

Heavy sighing. A little voice gets carried away with indignation as they say: 'It's not right!' But then the sarcasm kicks in and their face turns into an expression of annoyance. The post ends with 'Sorry I can't believe it.'

Why did they approve this dangerous medicine?

(sarcasm/angrily) Oh no! Another dead baby? Why can't the government figure this shit out first before approving things?"

The approval of RSV antibodies could revolutionize treatment for infants with this virus. I'm so excited! It's like finding a superhero drug. Can't wait to give my baby some help.

(Sarcasm) This comment is so sincere that I'm sure people won't believe me, but my mom sent me this medicine for my newborn, which was prescribed before the approval of any other medical product for babies. It seems like they must have some ul

"This is nothing less than an outrage! How can they allow this treatment to go unused when so many families are suffering?"

Sadly I had no idea about this vaccine when it was announced today. It sounds like an exciting development but also slightly overwhelming with all of its potential side effects. How will my children deal with that

I can't believe this! It's so exciting that Merck has finally approved an RSV antibody treatment for babies. Isn't it awesome? But, I'm still worried about the side effects. Can they really keep everyone safe and healthy all year round with just an injection? And isn't it too expensive? We need better alternatives to prevent and treat RSV infection.

Congratulations! The new RSV antibody treatment has been approved by the FDA. This marks an exciting milestone for parents of infants who may have trouble breathing due to this common respiratory virus. I'm happy to hear that your child got better with Merck's RSV antibody treatment. It's crucial for them and their families to stay informed about healthcare issues and how they can protect themselves and their

'Oh no! Another sick kid who needs an extra dose of goodness.'

Why did I need to wear a mask? It was just an experiment!

"So that's how they kept you sick all those years."

(Sarcasm) Oh no! Another drug company comes out with their new miracle cure? Didn't we all feel like superheroes just getting this information? Why can't they use science instead of politics and money? This medicine won't make us immune to COVID

"Rolling Stones' song 'Sympathy for the Devil,' has been reissued without permission! I can barely keep up with their trivia facts!"

Oh, wow, that's really exciting! What kind of baby-boom generation might have benefited from this new drug?
