Pfizer’s own large clinical trial of paxlovid, the first since the vaccines and omicron just came a couple of weeks ago.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/paxlovid-covid-treatment-most-beneficial-for-unvaccinated-people-with-risk/They found no evidence it has any effect on their subjects, which were vaccinated people with risk factors, and vaccinated and unvaccinated people without risk factors. Basically seems like the only people who should bother taking it are unvaccinated people with risk factors (age, immunosuppresive drugs, etc.)

New bird flu vector just dropped
"Since March 25, when the bird flu virus was confirmed in U.S. cattle for the first time, weekly sales of raw cow’s milk have ticked up 21% to as much as 65% compared with the same periods a year ago." This is why we can't have nice things. pic.twitter.com/04ajQJXs7m— Dr. Lucky Tran (@luckytran) May 14, 2024

well anecdotally I'd say Paxlovid had a huge effect on me. Maybe placebo effect. Who cares. Both times COVID symptoms disappeared almost immediately after starting it.

my symptoms went away immediately and my path to a negative test was halved in time.
