A puzzling phenomenon: Patients report a rebound of COVID-19 symptoms after taking the antiviral Paxlovid - The Boston Globe

The issue has captured the attention of at least two teams of Boston-area scientists, who are trying to understand what might be fueling the problem.

It seems that the first course does not always work, and patients relapse and then go back to having symptoms. But a second course does seem to help. There is also a note that states scientists don't think covid strains are resisting this particular drug, just that the original dosage suggested for covid treatment may not be enough to help some people's immune systems to fight it off
*filtered through a high non science brain, sorry!

Oh I see, thank you, yeah if you haven't had a full course of the vaccine or you are immunocompromised etc... you'll need longer than a 5 day course. That's similar to antibiotics where one size dose/course does not fit all.
 
What gets me, is out of the 6 people I traveled with, I was the most vaccinated...The only one with a 2nd booster. I also wore a mask more than anyone. And 3 of them got sloppy drunk daily and their masks went out the door. I did ride the Bermuda city bus...several of them.

Not sure if it's luck of the draw, or I have a weaker immune system, or what.

And if I had not just come back from a cruise, I probably wouldn't have gotten tested. Really just a sore throat and congestion, so far. I would have thought "head cold". I guess this is where the free at home tests are a good idea, because that's what is keeping me off the streets for at least 5 days!!

Fair enough. I still really need to go into a dispensary. What other kinds of deals did you see?

The deals weren't as good as I was expecting. Most things were 10% off. Dispensaries were better before legalization. You could see and smell what you were buying before you paid. Now it's so clinical, they all have the same low quality prepackaged stuff from the same LP's.

Do you think some of the clinical nature is because of covid? Or has it been legal there for a super long time?
