#5> There were six hospitalizations and no deaths among the 607 patients who received Paxlovid within five days of symptom onset, compared to 41 hospitalizations and 10 deaths in the placebo cohort.
How does this work? You sign up for the program when you're sick and you might get meds that help you? That would really suck if a loved one was in the program and died because they happened to get the placebo.

I'm excited to hear the results of the pill among the vaccinated. Cutting the risk of severe symptoms among high-risk vaccinated people, and the risk of long covid for everyone is very important. The vaccines are great, but not silver bullets themselves.

As long as your definition of "good" doesn't include public health and you know "not killing other people", sure... it's as "good".

Standard double blind trial protocol: you sign up for the trial. You might get the actual drug or you might get placebo. It's double blind because not even the doctor knows who gets what.
