So much for the pricey pharma alternatives. Stick with IVM and all things the CDC and Fauci worked so hard to discredit and keep away from you. Thank you Dr McCullough, and Drs Kory, Marik, Urso, Mercola, Zelenko and all FLCCC doctors.
Make sure that you share this information with your incompetent colleague Dr. Drew who swore by Paxlovid and routinely gave it to his poor elderly patients along with the Covid vaccines DESPITE THE MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE TO THEIR INEFFECTIVENESS AND HARM!!!
Hi Dr Gkioulekas -- yes, I actually asked the same question when paxlovid was first dubiously added to the protocol and was told something similar to what you've suggested. The problem, however, is paxlovid never has been shown to be safe or effective and in fact is dangerous, as this most recent report belatedly demonstrates. Even if the original purpose was to include it as an alternative for those who don't want to take or can't get ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, there is no indication anywhere in the protocol that it is a less-favored alternative with potential risks and/or that it should be used only by those who can't get the preferred, demonstrably safe and effective medicines. Indeed, the fact it is included in the protocol implies it is perfectly safe and effective -- and just as good as any of the other included medicines. We've known otherwise from the very beginning. It should not be there.
In some cases, using nothing could be more dangerous than using paxlovid on a relative scale. My suspicion is that 5 days of treatment may not be enough. HCQ hangs around for 40 days after treatment, and ivm can be stretched out over a 10 day period, so the reason for not seeing a rebound there (other than the day 8 effect) could be that they act over a longer period of time. So, from that standpoint, paxlovid is quite pathetic.
So? Whatever the reason, at least it won't harm you and it works. My family all used the FLCCC protocol - half are healthcare professionals - we were all equally sick and all did well with Ivermectin. What's the sense of giving a drug that doesn't really work and causes a relapse? It's crazy. And now - Princess Kate? How many shots did the Royal Family get - bottom line - everywhere you look it's tragedy.
It doesn't work well by itself. However it does inhibit virus replication. The problem is it doesn't do anything else that we know of. McCullough protocol would recommend combining it with other medications. A combination would work better. My guess is that it isn't that it doesn't work, but that 5 days of it may not be always sufficient, but then again because safety is questionable, maybe you don't want it for a longer period of time.
Absolutely you don’t want it at all let alone for a longer period of time….I love listening to these pharmaceutical commercials where they’ll cure your eczema but you might get lymphoma…
I know that you are a great defender of Dr. McCullough, but some of the decisions he makes are shocking to some of us because they seem to go against what he has stated publicly. For instance, why would he advocate for a drug and use a drug with a Black Box warning especially in the elderly who have compromised health already? It doesn’t make sense especially because he advocates for and uses supplements like Nattokinase, Bromelain, and Curcumin. His behavior is confusing and contradictory. Everyone I know whose doctor gave them Paxlovid ended up getting sick again including my own doctor. So I don’t understand why he would use it even if his patients asked for it. Why wouldn’t he explain the serious dangers of it and direct them towards a safer alternative such as taking zinc, vitamin D, C, Quercitin, garlic, Oregano, and practicing gargling, and nasal rinses? Why would he give them something that could make them sick or worse? It seems to me to go against his oath of office to First Do No Harm.
His article in support of Statins, his use of Paxlovid, and his support of and joining with Dr. Drew who continued vaccinating his elderly patients are all anti patient safety measures which makes no sense to me after what he’s done to protect the public. But that’s just me. I know that he’s given us a lot of valuable information, and I’m very grateful to him for that. But his conflicting behaviors bother me and make me distrust him. I just wish that wasn’t the case. If you tell the world that vaccines are dangerous and should be removed from the market; but then you join with a vaccine giver, that just seems pathological to me. I’m sorry 😞 to say.
Dr. McCullough, now that Marc Girardot's book "The Needle's Secret-Unravelling the Mystery of Vaccine Harm-The Bolus Revolution" is out on Amazon, I am hoping you can review it and provide him an interview. He explains the root cause of vaccine harm and why some are harmed and some are not. He is a member of PANDA.
So glad I refused it when I had Covid. Another experimental drug! Fortunately I had read regarding some of the findings with the drug and by then my mistrust was on high alert!

THANK YOU for this update on the Paxlovid "Rebound" issue. I remembered when this happened to President Biden after he initially had COVID-19 and was prescribed Paxlovid.
My husband and I had COVID-19 for the second time in February of this year. The first time we had it in late December 2021 it was the "wicked bad" Delta variant. This time it was one of the milder Omicron variants. The first time our primary care physician followed the corporate protocols of go to the ER if you can't breathe. This time our PCP was giddy about prescribing Paxlovid and to tell us how excellently it works. It was EXTREMELY difficult not to EXPLODE...but we needed to focus on healing.
We did not fill the prescriptions and contacted our COVID-19 physician assistant instead. She is an independent NP and prescribed us Ivermectin.
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to Dr. McCullough and the other COURAGEOUS, SACRIFICIAL Doctors that have spoken TRUTH consistently the past four years so that we have the opportunity to receive the best care instead of malfeasance!
Paxlovid and Remdesevir. Two names I have already learned to stay far away from.
So much for the pricey pharma alternatives. Stick with IVM and all things the CDC and Fauci worked so hard to discredit and keep away from you. Thank you Dr McCullough, and Drs Kory, Marik, Urso, Mercola, Zelenko and all FLCCC doctors.
Dr. McCullough,
Make sure that you share this information with your incompetent colleague Dr. Drew who swore by Paxlovid and routinely gave it to his poor elderly patients along with the Covid vaccines DESPITE THE MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE TO THEIR INEFFECTIVENESS AND HARM!!!
Why does the McCullough protocol still include paxlovid? (And why was it originally added to the McCullough protocol?)
Very good question!
I wouldn’t go near Paxlovid.
I have a 10ft pole you can use for Paxlovid. Free shipping.
I use the snake response: I'll leave it alone, and expect it to leave me alone, while I go the other way as quickly as possible!
I like it, Sandra.
40 yrs in the AZ deserts that has worked well for me, I see no reason for it to fail now.
OMG did you have sunscreen? Pfizer has an excellent ome.
Same!!!
In case patient declines to use HCQ/ IVM is one obvious scenario.

I hope you’re doing well Eleftherios. ♥️
But, are the people who need this information going to read it - it's so frustrating to me. Tired of the lies and even worse, apathy.
"courageous discourse", how could you have picked such a perfect name for your site so far in advance?

Yet another Good News/ Bad News proving grounds findings on the "Titanic of COV 19" disasters.
The shuffling of those deck chairs are now the wooden chairs floating as more proof of the Frauds.
