An infectious disease doctor explains what Biden’s medical team will be doing to treat the President’s case of COVID

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research.

Fortunately, preexisting immunity from vaccination or from a previous episode of COVID-19 is highly protective against severe disease. Researchers only have limited data on the BA.5 variant that is responsible for most recent COVID-19 cases in the U.S. – and likely Biden’s, too – but the level of protection from vaccines is likely similar to that of the previous strains BA.1 and BA.2. While the BA.1 and BA.

A clinical trial of Paxlovid showed that the drug significantly reduces the risk of hospitalization or death when given to infected patients within five days of their first COVID-19 symptoms. This trial looked at Paxlovid given to people who had no prior immunity to COVID-19 from vaccines or previous infection.

For example, Biden is reportedly taking a blood thinner called apixaban. This drug interacts negatively with Paxlovid. It is likely Biden’s doctor has instructed him to reduce his dose of apixaban or stop it briefly while on Paxlovid.Biden’s doctors will be monitoring his symptoms and checking his blood oxygen level.

Will they bring back Trump to finish the old fool off? Maybe they can give that other fossil Pelosi a dose of it as well. I’d like to see her pushing daisies, after getting involved in NI and British politics when she wasn’t wanted or respected.

Misleading and false clickbait, the headline was true in July of 2022, but in October 2022 it is false and misleading.

I'm old enough to remember when Scientific American was a respected science journal, and not the anti-science trainwreck that it is today.

Seriously? You're that lazy at tweeting an article out you pick one from July?

Really misleading. This is from July. Don’t make people think he has it again.

You have terrible journalistic standards!

This is from July 2022

Gee, a leader taking charge and listening to the medical community. It’s like we’re a real nation again!

This story is four months old. Really, ? misleading Journalism101

Take this down and redo the tweet, if you’re going to write scientifically about an American president.

You may want to add a date stamp to this. I read this as current and thought I’d missed something.

Lobotomy

If you’re going to repost something like this from months ago maybe at least change the twitter headline to be in past tense

A box of tissues to blow his nose for this minor cold like illness then.

can they treat for dementia also?
