Boomer6969 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I am fascinated by the current inaction in the fight against Covid in Thailand. No Paxlovid, no updated boosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 1 hour ago, nigelforbes said: Molnupiravar antiviral works just fine, we finished a four day course last week. Paxlovid has considerably higher efficacy than Molnipiravar. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For god's sake, Paxlovid isn't, neither are the Omicron updated boosters, from Pfizer and Moderna. Edited December 11, 2022 by Boomer6969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
