$MRK: Vaccine Krptonite

Long
NYSE:MRK   Merck & Company, Inc.
Investors should continue to watch Merck and how it plays out here at the 80 level as their COVID drug treatment is pending approval. I believe the market is absolutely sleeping on the significance of this drug and the kind of impact it will have. A treatment is an absolute game changer provided the politics of COVID do not disrupt innovation, transparency and competition in the market. If Merck's drug is effective at treating COVID this will be disastrous to companies like MRNA, JNJ, DVAX, PFE and NVAX. Currently, we're still sitting at less than a 60% fully vaccinated population, the tightest labor supply in history and a work force petitioning vaccine mandates as was witnessed with Boeing workers in Seattle. This will force lawmakers hands to suspend vaccine mandates indefinitely crashing demand for vaccines in the future. The US population has made their stance and vaccine persuasion will only have a diminishing effect from here on out, so the only option is the option that works for everyone in order to minimize division in the country.
