Paxlovid Doesn’t Work in Many Vaccinated People: Pfizer Study
Zachary Stieber | 4/4/2024Pfizer’s COVID-19 drug did not work for many vaccinated people, according to a new paper from the company’s scientists.
There was not a statistically significant difference between Paxlovid and placebo recipients in terms of time to alleviation of symptoms, the scientists reported in the new paper.
The paper, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, describes the results of a company-funded phase 2-3 trial of the drug, which is also known as nirmatrelvir. . .
. . . Dr. Vinay Prasad, an epidemiology professor at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved with the research, said on social media platform X that the trial showed Paxlovid “doesn’t work in vaccinated people.”
“It was embarrassing to watch the administration and many ID doctors recommend this without any credible data,” he wrote, criticizing the government for spending north of
$12 billion for courses of the treatment without much trial data.”
Pfizer and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
