A recent preprint study found that Pfizer’s COVID-19 antiviral Paxlovid may be effective in reducing the risk of developing long COVID in patients recovering from coronavirus infections.
The study, funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), looked through the VA’s health care databases and identified individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 between March and June 2022.
Overall, 56,340 participants were included in the study, among whom 9,217 were given Paxlovid within five days of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, while the remaining 47,123 did not receive any form of COVID-19 antiviral or antibody treatment in the 30 days after their diagnosis.

Yep
Effective reducing long Kung Flu, if it (paxlovid) doesn’t kill you first
My doc wanted me to take it...I did and had no problems. Maybe 1 1/2 days sick a few days just run down a bit.
Or empty your bank account.
may be....means we don’t know and makes the conversation worthless.
Can anyone address the whole premise that COVID is Doomsday Black Plague?
THAT is the argument.
Using this stuff isn’t worth it for almost anyone.
Neither are rushed vaxes worth it.
My healthy middle-aged cousin (my age) who exercises regularly and has a tough Army body (she and hubby part of it for decades) took the vax and she got myocarditis - thankfully, briefly but she did have to go to the hospital.
My elderly (otherwise healthy) aunt got COVID, and they put PAXLOVID in her back in April-May, and she got waylaid by the symptoms AGAIN to the point of hospital. (She also has lovely story about the shots prior year.)
Is all this really worth it for this disease?
The original vaccine was designed to make it easier while the patient had the virus. Now they are coming up with something that keeps you from having it as long. So you can now have it a shorter time frame, not keep you from getting it, and feel better when you do. Wonder if they have thought the two vaccines are not compatible and might cancel out each other or cause another illness or Anaphylaxis?
So you now have a choice whether the stuff combined is safe or not:
1. have it longer but not hurt as much
2. have it shorter and feel like chit
3. wait for herd immunity that has never appeared
These are not my ideas. They belong to the CDC and the administration that sells theory like stock in the diamond mine in Brazil.

PT Barnum is laughing.
This is a dangerous drug
Associated with dangerous blood clotting
Absolutely should not be used by cardiac patients ( per family cardiologist)
Also bad interaction with a host of other meds
Has a rebound rate of 40% or more ( both POTUS and CDC Director got rebound covid after taking it for 5 days…and worse second time…and took a second course…which was never tested before this was released)
It figures they’d use veterans as guinea pigs
Wonder how many they killed or injured this time
and Fauci, and Rachel Wolensky and......
Yes, it may be effective,
but then again, it may not be effective
Let's see the long-term clinical study statistics,.. if there are any.
This sounds like a definite "may be" effective, like when they sold us on the covid mRNA *"vaccine"*,
and then said that it would take 74 years to see the data.
As Slo Jo would say :'Balderdash' and "Malarkey" on this "snake oil" wonder pill !
It's not like Pfizer has lied in the past, is it ? .. /sar
This stuff still works as it always has!
ALTERNATIVE SAFE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR RESISTANCE UP & FIGHT COVID -19. AS WELL AS “VARIATIONS” AND A HOST OF OTHER INFECTIONS INCLUDING THE FLU. SO FAR, WHOEVER BEEN USING THIS REGIME, EITHER DID NOT CATCH THE BUG AND IF THEY DID; SHOOK IT OFF PRETTY QUICK.
THIS REGIME WILL “NOT” PREVENT YOU FROM CATCHING THIS CRAZY VIRUS BUT IF YOU DO, IT WILL HELP TO SHAKE IT OFF FAIRLY QUICK, FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS SO WELL THEY DON’T EVEN FEEL THEY GOT IT. BESIDES IT WILL ALSO WORK AGAINST OTHER RELATED VIRUSES; NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WILL BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH AS WELL, IF YOU CATCH THIS VIRUS OR NOT. EITHER WAY YOU WIN. ALONG WITH IT YOU WILL HAVE ACQUIRED NATURAL IMMUNITY WITHOUT ANY SHORT OR LONG TERM ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS.
There are other ways and means to enhance your resistance against viruses including that by now infamous covid-19 virus aside from taking any of these “Quick” developed vaccines utilizing a messenger RNA. So far science has not evolved far enough yet to be certain how the human body will react many month or years down the road once we start tinkering around with our immune system and how our bodies will react should we encounter mutated strains of similar viruses.
Below is a list of vitamins as well as nutrients SUGGESTED BY A PHYSICIAN to enhance your resistance, they are harmless and even beneficial to your body unless someone goes crazy and over doing it. Even so they will NOT protect you from getting any specific viruses; neither will any of those new “QUICK” developed vaccines. But not only will they make you more resistant but also help you to overcome the effects of such a virus more quickly, should you have bad luck getting it. And once you are over it, your natural immune system will take over and protect you considerably better than any vaccination, this according to a statement by Merck. The CATCH is to have these vitamins/nutrients in your system BEFORE you think you have caught this virus, as time is of essence so your system starts fighting the virus BEFORE it gets a chance to do any damage.
A suggestion to the wise, take some time and read up on each of these suggested components which is freely available on the internet.
Vitamin D-3 — Vitamin D supplements are readily available and one of the least expensive supplements on the market. All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections, and can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) — NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to one literature analysis,7 glutathione deficiency may actually be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conclude that NAC may be useful both for its prevention and treatment. For best results should always be taken with two to three times the amount of vitamin C. DO NOT GET IT MIXED UP WITH ACETYL L-CARNITINE. AS A REMINDER, DO NOT LEAVE OUT NAC AS IT IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS REGIME.
Zinc — Zinc plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections.
Like vitamin D, zinc helps regulate your immune function8 — and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine or quercetin, was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes.9 Importantly, zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune function.
Melatonin — Boosts immune function in a variety of ways and helps quell inflammation. Melatonin may also prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection by recharging glutathione11 and enhancing vitamin D synthesis, among other things.
Vitamin C — A number of studies have shown vitamin C can be very helpful in the treatment of viral illnesses, sepsis and ARDS,12 all of which are applicable to COVID-19. Its basic properties include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic and antiviral activities. At high doses, it actually acts as an antiviral drug, actively inactivating viruses. Vitamin C also works synergistically with quercetin.
Quercetin — Quercetin is the most abundant dietary flavonoid, found enriched in cranberry, onions, blueberry, apples, and tea. As a polyphenol compound, it is ALSO considered a potent iron chelator. A powerful immune booster and broad-spectrum antiviral, quercetin was initially found to provide broad-spectrum protection against SARS coronavirus in the aftermath of the 2003 SARS epidemic,14,15,16 and evidence suggests it may be useful for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 as well. Not only that but quercetin also acts as an ionophore for zinc similar to hydroxychloroquine, in a matter of speaking it will unlock the cells to let the zinc in where it can attack the virus . It is also a good pain killer and better for the human body than Aspirin, what helps to subdue arthritis pain. I is good for sinus infection, in other words if you happen to have a runny nose. Past studies have also shown that quercetin showed potent ability against some viruses, such as enterovirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
B vitamins — B vitamins can also influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including17 viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability.
LYSINE
When lysine blocks enzymes it inhibits the spread of the virus in the body by limiting the effect of weakening this connective tissue. An adult may take 2-3000 mg per day of lysine while trying to beat a virus.
SUGGESTED DOSAGE
All components as suggested are individually obtained and freely available and if used with some common sense are not harmful and if anything beneficial to your health. However it is a good idea and highly recommended to read up on each component, as there is plenty of information available on the internet. You may be surprised to find out and learn about the many benefits they provide to your health.
Here is a suggested approximate dosage for each.
Vitamin D-3 1500 IU
Malatonine 3mg to 6mg suggested about one hour before you go to sleep.
QUERCETIN 500 mg to 1000 mg
NAC 500 mg to 1000 mg (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)
Zinc 50 mg
Vitamin C 1500 mg or MORE !! but always should be to two three times as much as NAC
LYSINE
1500 mg to 3000mg
Vitamin B complex
So far whoever has been taking this regime of supplements and may have had a brush with this virus, shook it off fairly easily and quickly and the most important thing was that in the process such a person also acquired natural immunity. Not only that but at the same time this regime also helps to ease the effects of the regular flu.

Good post.
I have been on that same vitamin regimen since April 2020 along with approx 25 friends/family members. All of us socially active...restaurants, church, weddings, travel, etc. In other words, we’ve not changed our lives the past year. Not a one of us has tested positive and not a one has even had a cold. I’ve added hydroxychloroquine 200mg each Sunday starting about 6 mos ago.

Excellent regimen. Pretty much what I’ve been doing. I have been taking 5000 iu of Vit D3 per day for years and have never been sick (thank you Lord). With the China Virus, I upped it to 10,000 iu. I think zinc and quercetin are the most important.

Been on similar regimens since August of 2020. Attended parties public events even a professional football game. Oh, and I fall in the high-risk category. Also posted recently about hearing friends and associates who’ve taken the jab complain about the after effects. Also note that my position would not recommend that I take this experimental vaccine.

My Doc put myself and EVERY patient he had on Quercetin, C, D3, Zinc, and NAC from day one he has not had ONE SINGLE patient catch this virus, I also put my 92 year old mom on it I NEVER miss a day!! My mom had a small stroke about 4 months ago neither of us vaccinated I had to take her to emergency and was worried because hospitals are an absolute petrie dish of germs we both spent 4 days in the hospital no masks in room AND we both came home just fine this supplement regimen works!!!

NAC is fabulous. I was suffering what I thought was Bronchitas for about two weeks. Might have been covid. Anyway a neighbor gave me a bottle and said to take two in morning and two at night. In one day Bronchitas was gone.

I have done this supplement regiment with my wife for two years now, going into our third soon. We are as ethnically different as it gets but we have flown 8 times and never missed a happy hour that was convenient, dined out constantly, visited family and lived our lives as normally as possible, perhaps even moreso.
I’ve had three bouts of illness impacting my ears and sinus, but I have a condition that makes that a normal event. It actually occurred less than normal than in the previous 20 years.
We did not vaccinate for personal reasons. I credit blessings and the regiment of supplements in helping us avoid the chicom plague and pray it continues to do so.

When I got Covid, my doctor immediately put me on 10,000 IU’s of D3 per day even though I was already taking 5,000 per day. He also recommended NAC. I had never heard of NAC before he recommended it and he only recommended it because I have a bit of an issue with chronic bronchitis. Bought some NAC and have been taking it ever since. That stuff works PERIOD. I think that is why the FDA is bullying a lot of retailers (including Amazon) with fines and the such. So the retailer pulled the NAC from their shelves. Sad, because I really believe the reason the FDA is pulling it is because it WORKS!
Uh-huh.
“This stuff still works as it always has!”
Thank you for the information. You mentioned within your work about strains in the future. This new product they are talking about, paxlovid, appears to be a new one being released in December of last year, 11 months. But it is advertised as a “emergency use authorization” as long term symptom reliever. And by using it as an emergency use product, they are not sure what the results of each patient, or a majority of them, is going to be.
The fact sheet put out by the FDA says:
Some medicines may interact with PAXLOVID and may cause serious side effects.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Your healthcare provider can tell you if it is safe to take PAXLOVID with other medicines.
You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of medicines that interact with PAXLOVID.
Do not start taking a new medicine without telling your healthcare provider.
https://www.fda.gov/media/155051/download
There is a list within this website that displays medications that may cause serious injury or death. And just the use in some patients can cause a serious reaction like myself.
I have severe asthma and COPD plus other problems, and am treated with dupixent (dupilumab) which is an immune suppressant. So my taking an immune booster is dangerous to me.
I take 17 different pills a day and up to 7 injections any given day depending upon need. So additional medication of any type that is not totally tested and approved can be a gamble. I’m sure there are more out there like me. I’m pleased you found a combination of products to take that works for you and/or the people you mentioned. But for people like me, it’s a stretch. And they know that as they wouldn’t put it out EUA unless they weren’t sure.

Pavloxid vs. no treatment? The placebo effect alone should show great results!
Meanwhile, what a racket: this sounds worse than the BLM leadership:
I never got the shots. I had no symptoms back in April when they tested me, and said I tested positive for Covid. I took Paxlovid for the five days. The only thing that bothered me was the crappy taste one of the pills caused. After the five days, the bad taste side effect went away. Not long after I took it, the CDC stated that Paxlovid could cause "rebound" cases.
On June 15th, I went to the Emergency Room because of adverse reactions to drug changes my doctor had ordered. They tested me for Covid then...negative. Fast forward to mid October, I went to visit my sister-in-law who was receiving therapy in a rehab center. I went with my niece and her husband. We all had to take a rapid PCR swab test before they would allow us in to visit. We all tested negative.
Fast forward again to last Monday. I was scheduled to have cataract surgery last Thursday, and had to have a Covid test three days prior to the surgery. I made an appointment with Walgreen's drive-thru, and took the test. When I took the cap off the vile to put the swab in, the cap dropped out of my fingers and fell in-between the seat and the center console. I ended up having to get out of my car to search for the cap, finally found it, and put it on the vile, then returned it to the girl at the drive-thru.
The eye surgeon's office had previously told me that I could do a home test instead of going to one of the centers or doing a drive-thru test, so to make sure I was able to provide a viable result, I ordered some home Antigen Covid infection detection kits from Walgreen to have on hand in case there ended up being a problem with the drive-thru test. I went back to the pharmacy, stood in line, only to have them tell me they had no kits on hand, despite the fact that the website had confirmed my order for that specific location.
Came back home, and ordered the kits from another Walgreen here. Not long afterwards, my drive-thru test results came in, and it was inconclusive.
Got up early the next morning, picked up the kits from the second Walgreen's, came home, and administered the swab test to myself. It was a 15 minute test, and it was negative. Before I could contact the doctor's office to report the results of the drive-thru test, and that I had completed a home PCR test, the nurse at the surgical center called me to go over some pre-op questions and requirements. I told her about the drive-thru result, and then told her the home test was negative. She advised me that because I wasn't vaccinated, they couldn't accept the results of the home test, which to me is bullshit, because even someone vaccinated could have a negative home test Covid result, yet have Covid. Why were they willing to accept a home test result for a vaccinated person, and not someone who isn't vaccinated. The shots don't work. Of course this is a New York State requirement, and they are just following the horseshit recommendations from New York State's Health Department. I hung up with her, and called the eye surgeon's office and filled them in on the situation. She made an appointment for me that afternoon, to have another rapid swab test done at their test center. I took the test, and around 5 p.m., the test results said I was positive for Covid. Again, no symptoms whatsoever. Very soon afterwards, the eye surgeon called me about the positive test. I told him I'd had tested positive for Covid on 4/30, with no symptoms exhibited. I also told him of the other two Covid tests in June and October that were negative, and I told him about the Antigen test I'd taken at home that morning, also being negative. He said he thought the recent positive had detected a trace of the Covid from the end of April. Needless to say, the surgery was cancelled, and I told them I wasn't going to do anything now until after the first of the year, if I even bother doing it then.
My niece runs one of the labs at Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, New York. She found it rather strange that I had tested negative twice previously, and negative with the home test that morning, but then tested positive that afternoon. She found it hard to believe that there would still be a trace result from April 30th of this year. She didn't think the most recent test was accurate, or that it was administered properly.
No it isn’t. Everyone who takes it keeps getting covid.
