December 11, 20223 yr I am fascinated by the current inaction in the fight against Covid in Thailand. No Paxlovid, no updated boosters.

I don't know where you get that idea from but Molnupiravir antivirals are widely available here plus boosters are available at every hospital I know of.

More than 2 fold difference. That said, the great majority of people will do fine without either medication. It is important to understand that these drugs have no measurable effect on outcomes (i.e. hospitalizations or deaths) except among people in high risk groups (over age 65, immunosuppressed etc). This is because the rate of hospitalization and death with current COVID variants is already minimal in non-high risk groups. Also need to be aware that both drugs have contraindications and potentially dangerous interactions with other medications. Paxlovid (or Molnupiravar if Paxlovid unavailable) has a definite place in treatment of COVID among properly screened high risk people but is not a panacea.

For god's sake, Paxlovid isn't, neither are the Omicron updated boosters, from Pfizer and Moderna.
