Fluvoximine, in one model, was shown to bind to a receptor on immune cells. As a result, it played a role in the reduction of Cytokine production. In an in vitro study of endothilial cells, the drug also suppressed the expression of inflammatory genes (NIH study). In the study this drug will be given for 10 days in the hopes that it reduces the liklihood of a hospital stay or death. Worth a shot I guess, but wonder what the side effects are considering the drug was meant to treat mental disorders??
Another country calls off the vaccine shot mandates... Denmark officials see no reason to give more COVID-19 vaccines
I agree with Denmark. Data has mounted that the Pfizer (and probably Moderna) should have been a 3 shot series just like hepatitis B. By waiting 6 months for the 3rd shot, the immune response was observed to be much more broad based. T-cell germination remained strong and T-cells more than 85% cross reactive against all variants to date. Meaning, that as neutralizing anti-bodies wain, you still have strong protection against severe disease unless you are immune compromised or are at the extreme end of several co-morbidities.
In general SSRIs are widely used and have little harmful known side effects. They do have some side effects in some cases (decrease libido). They can act as a blood thinner to a mild degree.

Just spent 5 days in Vegas. Seemed pretty normal to me. Mostly mask wearing in common areas and elevators but customers who were gambling, drinking or eating weren't wearing masks and of course that’s everyone in Vegas. Employees did of course. I tested myself everyday. Only one line so no Covid and I’m not pregnant.
New research found antidepressants may increase risk of early death | National Post Their effect is comparable to aspirin. They thin the blood which may reduce heart attack risk but increases risk of internal bleeding.
FDA grants an EUA for the monoclonal antibody Bebtelovimab from Eli Lilly. The treatment is intended for non-hospitalized COVID patients with mild to moderate COVID. This MAB was shown to retain reactivity against the Omicron variant.

Trial finds 100-year-old tuberculosis vaccine offers protection against COVID to high-risk patients and may help with other infectious diseases Trial finds 100-year-old tuberculosis vaccine offers protection against COVID to high-risk patients and may help with other infectious diseases
Poster almost had it right. Denmark paused vaccinations and will likely resume in the Fall or if a spike occurs. Fact Check-Denmark paused its COVID-19 vaccine program due to high inoculation
FDA knew huge percentage of women in Pfizer trial suffered miscarriages (wnd.com) FDA knew huge percentage of women in Pfizer trial suffered miscarriages In response to a lawsuit, a federal judge in Texas in January ordered the immediate release of 12,000 documents and 55,000 pages a month until all of the more than 300,000 pages are made available to the public. Upon the release of the documents, author and journalist Naomi Wolf recruited researchers to begin analyzing the documents, which she posted on her website Daily Clout. For 25 years, WND has boldly brought you the news that really matters. If you appreciate our Christian journalists and their uniquely truthful reporting and analysis, please help us by becoming a WND Insider! She said in an interview Monday with Steve Bannon on "War Room" that Pfizer tried to bury the startling data on miscarriages.
Garbage in= Garbage out. "Pregnant people were not included in the initial clinical trial, so participants would have been unaware of their pregnancies at the trial’s start and early in pregnancy at the time of the Pfizer report. Of the 270 pregnancies reported during the trial, 238 were ongoing at the time of the report, while the remaining 32 pregnancies had ended, with 28 resulting in miscarriage. Pfizer’s data shows that at the time of the report, 10.4 percent of the pregnancies had ended in miscarriage, which is well within the normal miscarriage rate of 10 to 20 percent." Post claims Pfizer vaccine caused miscarriages during clinical trial - Public Health Communication Collaborative Like Trump's continual swing and miss on 80 or so election cases, this poster's record is identical. Be better. Sigh

There was some modest improvement with Metformin but could not be be confirmed in this study. In this study they used modest doses of Fluvoxamine and found no improvement. Other studies have shown some improvement at higher doses. There was no hint of improvement with Ivermectin.
