Talk:Antiviral drug

message: This article said that weakened or killed vaccines can in rare cases cause full blown infection.  I understand how that would work with weakened, but how could a truly killed vaccine infect a person?24.65.95.239 (talk) 23:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Wording on vaccines causing harm to hosts

message: I've moved this to talk, since although this agent does exist, and is under clinical trials, I can't find any suggestion that it has antiviral properties in the literature. It has been applied to hepatitis, but here it is presented as preventing liver damage, rather than inhibiting viral replication. Is there a paper I have missed?

replies: text: In which journal has this data been published? We can't use a poster presentation as a source. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:53, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes, I have found the information on anticancer trials, but there is no peer-reviewed information on antiviral activity. Without a source beyond a poster, wherever that poster was presented, this doesn't belong in this article. Have you considered instead writing that article about NOV-002? That would be a reasonable topic, and there are four articles by Townsend et. al. that you could use as sources. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  LJ001 against enveloped viruses 

message: A drug that could kill most viruses? refers to Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Therapeutics. 2011 acts against 2 viral processes: dna replication and reenabling apoptosis of infected cells. - Rod57 (talk) 10:00, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Was already mentioned in History section of all places, so I gave it a Research subsection heading for now. - Rod57 (talk) 10:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: DRACO against various viruses

message: This Article states a distinction (which I agree with) between Virucides and Anti Viral Drugs, yet the virucides link just loops back to the same page. Could someone try to fix this? If the article is about pharmaceuticals it should not be talking about virucides - and alternatively if it must include virucides it should definitely be re-named something more appropriate that accurately covers this broader set of topics.

thread_title:  Comprehensive review 

message: The antiviral drug page is lacking in policy information as well as other information very relevant to public use, such as stigma and the "anti-vax" movement. I provided four areas of improvement:
* Within a new policy section, created a subsection that discusses costs of antivirals and other pharmaceuticals, making note of why costs are so high.
* Within the same policy section, created a subsection that considers negative perceptions (stigma) towards antivirals (and vaccines). Discussed the definition of vaccines, policies surrounding vaccination, and recent rising stigma towards vaccination.
* Within the same policy section, created a subsection that discusses the use, distribution, and stockpiling of antivirals.
* Within the existing "Acquired resistance" section, provided more relevant and in-depth information regarding this important topic.
I endeavored to keep the quality of our edits consistent with the rest of the article, accurately referencing relevant literature and providing links to other Wikipedia pages when necessary. In this manner, I hoped to add to the purely biochemical nature of the antiviral drug page, providing a policy, perception, and cost scope while enhancing existing sections on resistance.

thread_title:  Policy edits 

message: I just can't buy these subsections.  As each notes, there's already a main article (several in fact) about vaccines for viral diseases.
Drugs and vaccines aren't interchangeable.  I'd suggest perhaps moving the sections (if applicable) into the main articles cited, and 
adding links to those articles in the 'See also' section.  I'm not going to do this on my own, without someone else voting for it, because
it appears that adding the stuff may have been a personal agenda for someone.Sbalfour (talk) 23:49, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
