As most drugs enter the market, like Paxlovid, they undergo clinical trials, Tadrous said. The clinical trials Paxlovid underwent happened before the vaccines were rolled out and before Omicron waves.
The group found the drug remains effective “as long as it’s used in a population that is at high risk for these severe outcomes,” said Dr. Kevin Schwartz, infectious disease physician and lead author on the study. “The relative reduction is pretty consistent across groups, meaning that whatever your baseline risk of severe COVID-19 is, it reduced that by close to 50 per cent in all ages,” Schwartz said.
“There’s other things like cost to the drug if there’s going to be very minimal to no benefit. So while the drug is effective at reducing severe COVID-19, there’s really no point in using it in someone that has virtually no risk of severe COVID-19,” Schwartz said.
Meanwhile, news like this is suppressed daily by this activist rag. Don’t forget all those young doctors that “died suddenly” over the summer in Canada.
What's the historical data and what's the side effects? Let me guess zero accountability for big pharma while pushing their newest ipo?
How bout stick it up yer ass
“But for instance, if you’re 30 years old and healthy, your risk of severe outcomes is so low, less than 0.01 per cent, reducing that by half a per cent is pretty meaningless in terms of the impact it’s actually having on the population, but also the individual patient.” 😏
Because its not really working or because its not really safe?
In the USA, Paxlovid is available to anyone with Covid who wants to take it.
Toronto star = state tv
Now cost matters? What about when we were paying people to sit at home? We should do what saves the most lives because I’m sure this study doesn’t account for lost productivity due to someone getting sick and the emotional toll on one’s family
So Pfizer came out with a dressed up version of Ivermectin
Yeah sure ! Don’t take this stuff as it’s full chemicals. Seek natural medicines not some pharma scam
