1) A gente SABE que isso não é verdade. Mas, é preciso mais que isso para convencer as pessoas, né? Óbvio que é impossível cravar uma realidade alternativa, mas temos exemplos reais no próprio país que me dão certeza que o drama aqui teria sido MUITO menos grave. (+)

2/6 #Oseltamivir for prevention reduces ↘️ symptomatic influenza by 3%, (NNT=33) with an uncertain effect on asymptomatic #influenza
It likely has a central symptom reducing effect but may not reduce viral transmission

3/6 #Oseltamivir won’t reduce the risk of developing influenza-like illness though it can make people feel better (i.e. fewer symptoms) and reduces ↘️ fever

Two important #COVID19 treatment studies were released this week. One, from @Merck got a lot of attn and soared on the stock markets. The other, with better results, from @Regeneron got little notice.
Key point with both: Best results come from treatment before symptoms.

2/ @Merck press release: Gave molnupiravir to 385 people w/#COVID19 & placebo to 377.
After 29 days, 7.3% of molnupiravir group were either hospitalized or died, vs 14.1% of placebo-treated. So, says Merck, the drug cut the risk of severe COVID by 50%.

3/ @Regeneron made combo monoclonal antibody treatment, REGEN-COV & pub'ed data in @NEJM .
28 days post-treatment, 1.3% of 1,355 treated patients were hospitalized or died, vs 4.6% of 728 placebo recipients.
So, REGEN-COVID cut acute disease risk by 71%.
