When Merck purchased OncoImmune to gain control of the experimental treatment for COVID-19, and shortly after signed a $356 million dollar government contract to deliver 100,000 doses by the summer, it was assumed that Merck would be able to deliver. However, despite positive trial data, the FDA is demanding that there be more evidence of the drug’s effect before it can be rolled out on such a massive scale.

It’s already had to give up on any hopes of creating a vaccine against COVID-19, and now Merck is being told that its pandemic drug hopeful will need another trial before it can be issued a green light.
