That is the plan that seems to be working today for older folks and those with higher medical risks.

Paxlovid can be a good test if you have an intelligent and/or caring PCP. If they prescribe Paxlovid then you know you need to change Docs.

How does it seem to be working? Both Biden/Fauci rebounded and had worse symptoms on the drug then they probably would have off the drug. The current variants don’t cause severe disease in anyone. If you end up in the ICU from these variants, 99% it’s because you developed an autoimmune condition.

I thought Paxlovid was supposed to be the cadillac of covid drugs. That's what our governor took when he got sick. It's tiring to listen to these politicians touting vaccinations and then they all get sick even with being vaccinated themselves.

I'll pass, thanks.

Big Pharma always opens up with big promises that disappear in reality.

the only thing Paxlovid is good for is making you sicker and longer and for that “benefit” you make Pfizer richer!

I guess they need guinea pigs and we're it.

Even worse! We volunteer and pay to be guinea pigs! The true Guinea pigs are smarter as they had no choice!

I have a question: What's with the treatment Trump received when he got COVID in October 2020? It seems to have worked on him. Here's what is known about Trump's COVID-19 treatment

Why is there no follow up in expanding such treatment to the general population, EUA or not?

what's the difference between:
  • Get Covid vaccine and boosters, then get COVID, then take Paxlovid and get a rebound
and
  • Not getting Covid vaccine, get COVID, then take Gilead's Remdesivir and Regeneron's antibody cocktail ?
Is Pfizer too more powerful than Gilead and Regneraon or what?

1. Just because Trump got better doesn’t mean the drugs worked. Vast majority people recover with no treatment
2. Trump got Regeneron, which seemed to work with earlier variants but no longer does with Omicron.
3. Remdesivir is a poison. All it does is poison you.
4. No one needs a drug for a cold. I don’t care if you’re 100 years old. Stop asking for drugs ! The Omicrons are not killing anyone

Maybe… Just maybe, if he stops sniffing little girls, he might stay COVID free.
