The virus can persist and replicate long term in tissue reservoirs, not just at autopsy. This includes in the brain, GI tract and the lung, possibly for months even years. We need to develop new antivirals. NIH Director Bertagnolli MD #LongCovid #ViralPersistence 👇

My friend was recently admitted to hospital. I told her to make sure she got a Covid test asap as she’s eligible for antivirals.

The dr refused to test her, despite her having classic symptoms.

I created this tick list of her symptoms to show to the dr.

Eventually he agreed…

Woody Harrelson criticizes the government and the pharmaceutical industry for blocking affordable, off-patent antivirals like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to profit from COVID-19 vaccines:

'Ivermectin got made into a horse tranquilizer. Hydroxychloroquine got made…

VERY CLEAR…persistent live virus….we know people! ANTIVIRALS NOW

If there's anything that my recent experience with acute #COVID and #LongCovid has shown me, it's the need for antivirals targeting #SARSCoV2 that can be taken long-term. Short courses of Paxlovid and Remdesivir aren't enough. We need new and repurposed #AntiviralsNow !

Tested positive for covid yesterday for the first time. Got the antivirals yesterday. Very efficient service by the doctor and pharmacy. I was very impressed. I actually feel fine but will play on this to have a really lazy few days. Oh no, I can't possibly do that, I have covid

NIH Director says COVID is chronic. 👀

About time. Time for antivirals for #LongCOVID . 👀

#pwLC #LC #NotRecovered #TreatChronicCOVID

Antivirals are needed for acute COVID & #LongCOVID . This should be where the biggest focus is (and clean air).

#pwLC #TreatChronicCOVID

Can we have antivirals now?

We need SARS2 antivirals yesterday....or even sooner.

China has approved many more SARS-CoV-2 antivirals than the West, like this one ⬇️

So the NIH Director said #LongCOVID is unique … since she said COVID is Chronic.

Guess those debates are over.

#pwLC #LC #NotRecovered #TreatChronicCOVID #Antivirals

Wouldn’t it be great if we had antivirals for COVID that are better than Paxlovid, which is contraindicated with a million meds that people both with and without Long COVID have to take on a daily basis?

D.Dave #AntiviralsNow Where are the antivirals?

The door has been opened by this interview and the work of many, such as PolyBio, LCAP and others. Let’s keep this door open! Get loud, repost this subject. Viral persistence is a huge deal. Kids are getting repeated infections. #antivirals #covid

Very good news: More studies about to come on #antivirals and monoclonal antibodies #mAB : science.org/content/articl…

Thank you, Dr. Gustavo Aguirre-Chang and Putrino Lab (and others) for your ground work!

I appreciate Bernie Sanders proposal for #LongCOVID funding $10B over 10Y, but it's not enough. Gov. gives the same amount for weapons w/ ease, but effectively maims, disables + murders it's citizens allowing #COVID19 to spread. Fund research + antivirals now! Hypocritical indeed.

Health Update: Seems the heart and blood pressure issues could be covid related according to my doctor. Everything is tele-visit, so no real tests outside of my wife checking my blood pressure. Round of antivirals, and loads of Vitamins with rest.

How do we make people understand that not all 'serious' diseases are treated with antibiotics?
Different disease conditions have different causes.
*Bacterial caused------use antibiotics.
*Viral caused -----use antivirals
*Fungal caused------use antifungals
*Etc.

We know it since 2020. We need access to antivirals!
