Merck is Flying based on the biased perception..!Merck data shows Molnupiravir will decrease mortality and hospitalization which is a good news, but do not forget it does not mean you do not need COVID-19 Vaccine..!
This is only for those who becomes positive for COVID test, while Vaccine is for everyone!
While many people debate about their choice of being vaccinated or not, I would like to show other countries example:
Australia:
No Jab No Pay
is an Australian policy initiative which withholds three state payments – Child Care Benefit, the Child Care Rebate and a portion of the fortnightly Family Tax Benefit part A per child – for parents of children under 20 years of age who are not fully immunized or on a recognized catch-up schedule.
No Jab No Play
is a related policy that disallows unvaccinated children from attending preschool and childcare centres, and imposes fines on childcare centres that admit unvaccinated children. The system allows exemptions for children who cannot be safely vaccinated for medical reasons.
As a doctor I respect patients choice, but when it is about public health things will become a little complicated from ethical point of view!
I got vaccinated as soon as it becomes possible, and asked all my family members to do so. I want to use this opportunity to ask you to get vaccinated and do not pay attention to misinformation.
I published short analysis on MRNA before this news:

INO What You're Thinking...INO finally broke back above the 786 fib line. Before the last bout of selling, you'll see this level was an area of support for the former penny stock. Now, thanks to some added excitement from delta news (the variant not the airline), INO shares are popping. They also jumped back above the 786 fib. Now the question is, will it rest the 618 fib like it tried to a few weeks ago?
"Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INO) has steadily climbed for the better part of the last 3 months thanks to recent pipeline progress. In June, the company had expanded its partnership with Advaccine Biopharmaceuticals Suzhou to conduct a Phase 3 segment of a trial called INNOVATE. The goal is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the company’s INO-4800 in COVID patients. The treatment was already shown to be well tolerated and immunogenic in tested age groups in a Phase 2 study.
This month Inovio announced that it and Advaccine received a regulatory allowance for 2 heterologous prime-boost clinical trials in China using INO-4800. “VID-19. If approved, we believe INO-4800 will be well-positioned to serve the vaccine needs of the global community as both a primary and a booster vaccine due to its tolerability, balanced cross-reactive immune responses, and strong thermostability profile that does not require cold or ultra-cold-chain transport,” said Dr. J. Joseph Kim, President, and CEO of INOVIO."

BMY Flirting With Historic TerritoryWhen I say "historic" for BMY I'm not talking ATH but the stock's encroaching on an area that has been tested 3 times being rejected each time. This is the 236 fib area using 2016's high as the top anchor. It's been 5 years since BMY traded well above this area. But with the way attention is being placed on immunotherapy stocks, it could be something to keep in mind for BMY longs.
" Both Bristol-Myers and Novartis recently gave updates on new FDA updates. Novartis’ NIS793 gained FDA Orphan Drug Designation, while Bristol-Myers’ recent earnings update revealed strong sales figures from its lead cancer drug, Opdivo...B7H3 protein is a checkpoint molecule, which has very recently become a target for cancer treatment. While things are still in the very early stages for B7 molecules, as a whole, early research is also finding new potential for targeted cancer treatments. For instance, Merck’s (NYSE: MRK ) blockbuster drug, Keytruda, and Bristol-Myers’ YERVOY treatments target the same checkpoint inhibitors that are part of the B7 family (PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4/CD80). They’ve also both demonstrated a clear survival benefit when it comes to immune-oncology treatment ."

MRK Testing the upper limits But Can It Make New Highs?MRK is back in this 382-236 fib range with both lining up pretty tightly with the current levels on the chart. 382 is a bit looser and more of a pivot area, for now, that's been a magnet for the stock over the last few weeks. Meanwhile, 236 was tested a few times and MRK was rejected each time. With the last update on Keytruda, it's going to be interesting to see what comes next.
"Merck’s (NYSE:MRK) big news on July 27th marked a watershed moment for the company’s cancer treatment, Keytruda. The Food & Drug Administration approved Keytruda for treating patients with high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), in combination with chemotherapy. Following surgery, Keytruda could then continue as a single agent adjuvant. This approval was based on Merck’s Phase 3 KEYNOTE-522 trial....Merck’s (NYSE: MRK) blockbuster drug, Keytruda, and Bristol-Myers’ YERVOY treatments target the same checkpoint inhibitors that are part of the B7 family (PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4/CD80).

Buy $MRK - NRPicks Feb 07Merck & Co, Inc. provides healthcare solutions worldwide. The company offers treatments for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic hepatitis C virus, HIV-1 infection, intra-abdominal infections, fungal infections, insomnia and inflammatory diseases; neuromuscular blocking agents; cholesterol-modifying drugs; and vaginal contraceptive and antibacterial products.
Merck is one of the companies that had been selected to develop the vaccine; however, it is still a company with a very high level team of workers and successful products. In terms of its finances, its debt is average relative to industry-competitors, plus it generates enough cash to be able to meet those obligations.
Fundamentals:
- Growth
- 6% estimated growth in net earnings for the next 3 years.
- ROE 50.5% VS 17% industry.
Technicals:
- Price level below SMA 250-200-150
- Williams R% at -78% levels
- RSI (36) Oversold
-1.5% average upside during the month
A correction of 11% was presented from JANUARY 12 to FEBRUARY 5, which stopped at $75.45 support. The correction was presented because the company abandoned the development of the vaccine against COVID, from the support the stock has shown a change of trend. Finally, the technical indicators are favorable and give us a buy signal.

Why this play?
There are 4 general approaches to the Covid vaccine.
1.A "killed" coronavirus that will get recognized as foreign matter in the blood. (Sinovac/Dynavax)
2.Coronavirus proteins themselves, produced industrially in outside cell cultures,
which will be recognized as foreign matter in the blood. (GlaxoSmithKline/Sanofi, Novavax)
3.A different virus (human or ape adenovirus, measles, etc) that is engineered
to include genetic components coding for the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins,
which causes the body to then produce them. (CanSino, Oxford, J&J,
Merck/Themis)
4.DNA or RNA that will be taken up by cells and will cause them to make
coronavirus proteins. (Moderna, Innovio,
BioNTech/Pfizer)
GSK is #2, there is only 1 other big company doing this approach and that is NVAX.
We are betting on the fact that if they are successful, they could have super run like NVAX.
