GP explicitly referenced the drug's Wikipedia page:

> "The emergency use authorization was only narrowly approved (13-10) because of questions regarding efficacy and concerns that molnupiravir's mutagenic effects could create new variants that evade immunity and prolong the COVID-19 pandemic."

The quote above has its own citations in the Wikipedia page posted by GP.

He linked to a source that contains that claim, it includes several sources for that specific claim.

It's unclear why that is relevant in this thread though.
