With a Billion dollars to spend, the US is trying to solve every problem with the same tool. Putting persistent COVID under the microscope with Paxlovid and Novavax.
Interesting. Thanks. Governments will provide disability to as few people, as they can. That's why it's important (to them) that it remains a "mysterious disease" and one that they can't develop consistent biomarkers for, of those suffering from it. I have me/cfs and it's all so familiar. The old dodge and weave.
Background: I got my Novavax vaccine. It fixed a lot of my long covid issues, although not entirely.
I've been trying to get wife to do same to get her to get the Novavax vaccine instead of mRNA. She is going to get NVAX tomorrow. Our family is very cautious and, of course, she let her guard down this week and had her first exposure this year while walking outside with a friend on October 31.
Question: Has anyone seen anything about getting your NVAX vaccination when/if you are COVID+? My wife is not COVID+ at the moment, but the timing here is unfortunate and I'd appreciate any information that is out there about getting your vaccine at the same time you might have COVID.
Okay, do not get Novavax if you are currently infected. Luckily, she has only another two days to determine if she is + or not so I would get her on some American Ginseng right away and order some Enovid, Nitric Oxide spray, to have on hand for next time.
If she's positive the CDC says to wait three months to get any vaccines but that data is for mRNA and the data for Novavax in this regard is incomplete as to whether it is different or not.
You may want to contact Yves Smith of Nakedcapitalism.com blog. They put a link to your very first substack post, and have a decent size following and hold similar views on Covid being mismanaged.
The neoliberal mindset believes their exclusive degrees and overeducation from the "right" colleges gives their position papers magical powers to define and create reality. It's a vapid, destructive illusion. Manipulating language--removing "Long Covid" for "PASC"--is typical of how these people think they can control reality. They'll never have their King Canute moment. In the meantime, millions are dead, and many millions are disabled. And they will let it happen because it's making them rich.
Thanks for this, really gives me confidence in having chosen Novavax over the Bivalent mRNA for my latest booster today.
Here in Ontario, it looks like the soonest I'll be able to get another dose would be 3 months from now. Do you know if that delay will make a significant difference in effectiveness?
Thank you Don for all the advocacy. We sure miss you leading the charge on Twitter (this is Thisper). What is the best timing for the second Novavax shot again?
No vaccine would ever be sufficient by itself as a cure for Long COVID, because it frequently involves autoimmune dysfunction, and when the immune system is not functioning correctly, there need to be other treatments that are not dependent on stimulating a response from the immune system. Do you know if honeysuckle-encoded microRNA (MIR2911) could be used for Long COVID, because of how it suppresses COVID-19 mRNA replication?
Thanks for everything you do. Is there somewhere you list out the supplements that can help with covid/long covid, my fiancé is still testing +ve on RATS on day 25 and although he feels fine I want this virus out of his system asap.

I don't actually know how to reach out to them.
They picked up my last article on their own.

It sometimes works.
Was this the study that Don was looking for RE S2 can’t mutate and remain viable: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.abn3715
Is anyone doing a study on if 3 doses of Nova causes mucosal antibodies? I know they found evidence of this in their primate studies.
I will be covering this in my next article, which I am working on right now.
Excellent work as always. Looking forward to the Discord server.

Fantastic article - thanks for putting this together. I was just curious which probiotics were on your list?

That will be fine.

That should say day 35!
