Can Paxlovid Improve Long COVID Symptoms?

In this interview, Jeremy Faust, MD, editor-in-chief of MedPage Today, talks with Harlan Krumholz, MD, SM, of Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, about his ongoing study testing nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid) for long COVID symptoms and about the value of finding innovative, participant-centric ways to conduct research and get answers quickly.

Thank you for this important conversation.
I'm in clinical research trials and am deeply concerned what the future will look like if we don't find a cure for Long Covid.
We need more research on multiple infections and their effects on the body long term (vascular and otherwise), as well.

All I can get for Long Covid is large doses of Pepcid, and that took a couple years
