Preliminary results released show 31% decrease in hospitalizations in powered randomized control trial. P value under 1%.

Obviously, get vaccinated (they're not mutually exclusive) and the monoclonal antibody treatments are better, but it's looking more and more like we finally have a cheap repurposed generic that helps. A full course of fluvoxamine costs something like $4.

Good news, but what is P value?

Seems like .002 to .005 depending on the endpoint. No statistical significance for mortality due to lack of power.

Here's the video presentation.

Why get vaccinated? The gene vaccines are treatments as well. They are not really vaccines.

HCQ costs 60 cents per pill. Is there a reason to take fluvoxamine instead of HCQ?

Fluvoxamine is an anti-depressant. Are you sure it works as an effective treatment for Covid19?

So where did you go to school where you got your Phd in immunology?

You MUST have such a Phd for how POSITIVE you are that you are right and the entire PLANET of stupid people HAVE to be wrong because I am THE smartest person on the planet.

I hear the Evangelicals are pushing their miracle water.
In addition to $10000 appearing in your bank account the next day after drinking it, all your COVID symptoms have disappeared. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The main reason is that fluvoxamine seems to work.

Better, thanks.

I took the J&J jab on July 1 and within days got some relief.
It's still a bear for me to type and sit up for a length of time but such is life.

@Metal-Brain - "HCQ costs 60 cents per pill. Is there a reason to take fluvoxamine instead of HCQ?"
----------------------

Way too political, only because Trump suggested it. Fauci would NEVER recomend it.

Sorry to hear of your medical problems. Was it Covid? Did you know now fully 1/10th of the entire US has had Covid now. 36 MILLION. and approaching 700,000 deaths.
And of course the metal heads (really POTOTO head) keeps saying, 700K deaths?
NOTHING, no big deal, it is only those old useless elderly folks dying and they were close to dying anyway so what's the problem?

It doesn't matter that the unvaccinated are 100% responsible for the variants floating around the world because covid is deadly and generates even more deadly variants the more folks who have it. A world wide viral experiment where the virus plays with the tips of the penetrator and such making it even easier to attack cells.
But hey, what do I know, I am just a hardware expert. I couldn't POSSIBLY have any knowledge of viruses, right?
