One Step Forward...

More good news about antivirals.

From Nate Bear: People are experiencing, 

"almost complete Long Covid recovery with the use of an HIV antiretroviral [ART]. There is obviously viral persistence in a proportion of Long Covid cases and the denial of this fact in the medical establishment is killing people."

So, because some people rushed to insist Covid is nothing like AIDS, and it far more like a cold, this possibility took years to be tested. But Maraviroc/Atorvastatin, a drug used with HIV, is having a very positive effect on Covid cases in individual cases. Clinical trials are just beginning. Imagine if we looked down this road four years ago instead of pretending there's no connection between two viruses that both hibernate in the body and damage immunity in a long term and deadly fashion! 

In other frustrating news, Nukit Far-UV devises are no longer available in Canada because Nicholaus Jeffers, Compliance Officer with Health Canada in the Pesticide Compliance Program, has made a claim that the devises are pesticides being sold without registration despite the fact that they are harmless to insects. Manufacturer Cyber Night Market wrote this response to the charge (and no longer delivers to Canada). 

The maple syrup and "polite Mad Max" analogies are perfect, but the gun comment at the end falls flat. She might have ended it with something about all the microplastics we're allowed to ingest.
