Patients who use the antiviral medication Nirmatrelvir to treat COVID-19 infections are less likely to develop so-called “long COVID” symptoms than other sick individuals, according to new research released by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A study of more than 56,000 VA patients who tested positive for coronavirus infection found that the oral antiviral medication (better known by its brand name, Paxlovid) helped reduce the chance of long-term health complications like breathing problems, heart damage and neurocognitive impairment by 25%

Thank you for sharing this post on Paxlovid... SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL!!!
I have first hand knowledge of how it works, as the Dr. in the ER at the VA's Boston Area Hospital in West Roxbury, MA prescribed this for me when I came down with the Omicron Variant... IT WORKS!!! It is a 5-Day with two drugs which work against the Covid Virus... I tested negative after I completed the 5-day process. There are some side effects, but not bad...
