| LjL | %title https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38849982/ first time I hear of "azvudine" cc ublx | 02:54 |
| Brainstorm | LjL: From pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov: Azvudine versus Paxlovid in COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis | 02:54 |
| ublx | hmm much cheaper than Paxlovid | 03:09 |
| ublx | when abstract says "azvudine showed better effectiveness in improving other outcomes" i wonder how well adjusted it was possible to make the analyses for differences in application time spans (ie severity of variants treated/state of the art of therapeutics at the time) | 03:12 |
| LjL | ublx, well it's a metareview so i guess there might be a lack of consistency (i didn't read past the abstract), and given the lack of any bell-ringing about azvudine, i kind of wonder how invested these two authors are with the drug | 03:25 |
| LjL | apparently it has conditional approval for COVID in China | 03:25 |
| LjL | de-facto, maybe you might also want to look at this drug | 03:26 |

| LjL | i am baffled that after the utter failure at communication with COVID, which was all "masks are definitely bad, don't use masks! wait now masks are good, use masks! it's definitely just droplets! it's now definitely airborne!" with certainties that aren't certain at all | 19:32 |
| LjL | after all that, "experts" still think the public should be treated like toddlers and not told about uncertainty | 19:32 |
