Here’s What Scientists Know About Paxlovid Rebound
TimeJUL 2022
Now's the time to prepare for another potential virus surge or outbreak in the future. This means budgetary commitments to strengthen the country's pandemic surveillance system, maintain testing infrastructure, and protect our most vulnerable citizens with boosters, antivirals such as Paxlovid, and other precautions. We need to put financial skin in the game.
Democrats can't have it both ways. They can't devote billions to COVID treatments like Paxlovid and preventative measures at the same time they're trying to end the Title 42 immigration policy based on the notion that we're out of the COVID era. Which one is it?
It's possible that the "Paxlovid Rebound Effect" is actually a broader "COVID Rebound Effect" and is occurring whether one has the antivirals or not. These cases have reportedly happened throughout the pandemic, but unfortunately there's been little data to date. This gets messy - there are public health pros and cons in asking people isolate if they test positive again.
