Didn't seem to have any impact on Obiden and FauxQi, either. ("...no impact on patients under 65.")

This one interests me, as the original HR pax trial did show benefit in younger age groups, 1,817 of 2,085 participants were under 65.

This new one mostly seems like poor study design. "Eligibility" was determined by scoring - you were eligible if you had enough co-factors (the required score isn't given) - but it clearly looks like in practice only highest scorers were prescribed Pax. The skew in comorbidities in Table 1 is extreme. So the treatment group was way more at-risk than the "control." But is the skew the same in both age groups? I see no way to figure this out. The authors need a slap on the head for not tailoring their analysis to the data set.

Better redemption is in supplemental tables S4 and S5 https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2204919/suppl_file/nejmoa2204919_appendix.pdf. Paxlovid reduces risk in 40-64 "without prior immunity." So this replicates the HR trial. It increases risk in those "with prior immunity." This may be because "prior immunity" reduces eligibility score and thus raises the bar for comorbidities needed to actually be prescribed (thus raising the comorbidities in the "prior immunity" treatment group).

"Prior immunity" seems probably under-recorded in both groups though it might be a reflection of disproportionately high Arab community patients covered in this health system (52% of total Israel pop.).

Well Peter, at $530 a course of treatment it does do something, it makes them a bunch of cash.

Got this off one of the info sites.

See that first pharmacy listed, with 6,482 "courses" of treatment available?

That is $3,435,460 right there! One fucking pharmacy!

And every pharmacy on the list has over one half million dollars worth on hand!
