Thank you for this ( pegden and baral are FAVES) - and also for the Bari Weiss podcast recommendation with dr makary. Please know, without you and the likes of the above, I personally would be at risk to become completely hopeless. You used the word misery...no better word to describe what politicians are inflicting on us and our kids.

We must stop depending (and betting) on vaccines to beat this pandemic. They must be reprioritize to be one tool in a tool box along with early outpatient treatments, rescue inpatient treatments and mitigation measures.

The FDA will hold its meeting on the Merck molnupiravir and Pfizer’s Paxlovid will follow soon after. Both meds need to be started within 3 days of onset. Our health system is incapable of that kind of speed from test to treat. So if the FDA is smart they will recommend these meds be dispensed by primary care physicians as a prepack for high risk individuals with instructions to be started immediately upon test positive results. Monoclonal antibody treatments should be encouraged and made even more accessible. It’s time to think outside the vaccine limited box and as eluded to in this post to stop doing the same thing over and over because that is the definition of insanity.
