It seems that almost every one who is publicly identified as taking Paxlovid has one of these "rare" rebounds. Look for a redefinition of "rare" coming soon to a dictionary near you.

Hey, if the Humpty Dumpty in the White House can redefine the meaning of "herd immunity," "vaccine", even "recession" , redefining the meaning of "rare" is a piece of cake :-)

Not only every public case that I, too, have heard of has ended in a Paxlovid rebound, but every private case among close family and friends (people with whom I'm close enough to ask for follow-up) has ended similarly as well. Literally 100%. It's not a huge list, but I sat down with my wife to see if I missed anyone, particularly anyone who was one-and-done with Paxlovid, and we couldn't think of a single name.

100%.

Reinforces my personal rule never to take pharmaceuticals that have not been on the market long enough to go generic. That's long enough field experience to know if something is truly safe & effective.

I don't understand what is meant by "rebound." Do the people develop symptoms all over again? If so, how severe?

Expand full comment
Guttermouth's avatar

The phenomenon of "Paxlovid rebound" refers to a situation now widely occurring but most prominently in the case of Fauci and Biden's COVID recovery where they are positive for covid, go on paxlovid, test negative after a course of treatment (time limited as there is risk of liver damage), and then test positive again with no new exposure, usually with recurrent symptoms.

It clearly indicates that in these people, the paxlovid is simply suppressing viral load but not actually eliminating the infection. It's designed to prevent viral reproduction by eliminating access to an enzyme the virus uses.

My theory is the vaccines are causing immunosuppressive effects, likely due to antigen fixation, and so all the paxlovid does is slow viral reproduction way down for a while but not actually help the body mount an effective immune response to eliminate the infection. Hence why covid infections are being dragged out over weeks in the vaccinated.

Make sense?

Rob Nicholson's avatar

I've often remarked that when I've had a cold, I often get a bit of a mild rebound later. Is COVID so very different?

Expand full comment
Jeff76's avatar

I think something that is happening with the 'vid is that we are examining a disease in excruciating, public detail. And learning things common to many diseases, but in particular respiratory viruses. As though we've forgotten that washing your hands helps prevent diseases, stay home when you are symptomatic, cover your mouth when sneezing. Old people die easier, unhealthy people die easier. And yeah, rebounds happen, disease lingers. If you get really sick it takes longer to recover and in some cases years to be "back to normal". This all used to be common knowledge passed down from parents to children. Honestly it feels like we're sometimes "discovering" grade school medical knowledge as though it is new.

Expand full comment
Ben Kurtz's avatar

Hard to reason off of subjective experiences and feelings of good or ill health...

But I know several people who had COVID, tested positive, recovered without Paxlovid, eventually started testing negative, and *didn't* have a rebound positive within a ~week of testing negative.

I'm sure you know people like that too.

Which suggests what the typical course of a bout of COVID is in the absence of Paxlovid: no rebound.

We don't really need to consider other illnesses for this point.

EDIT: And for further clarity, I'll point out that I've known people to recover from Covid (w/o Paxlovid) and keep testing positive for an extended period after symptom resolution before finally testing negative on PCR. But I've known no examples of such people testing negative for a meaningful length of time (e.g. 1 week, +/-), then rebounding with a fresh positive.

Guttermouth's avatar

How many of the people you are referring to were vaccinated?

Ben Kurtz's avatar

A mix. Can think of two examples of each in my close family -- being vaxxed didn't obviously lengthen the non-Paxlovid clearance time, for sure. But this was also across different waves and variants.

Maybe, maybe not. I just watched this fox opinion piece, I they're right. Biden's completely controllable. That's an asset they may keep around as long as possible. They won't allow the Fed to kill off the economy (recession) until after the midterms; after that, they'll blame the Republicans who will most likely take it all in Nov.

I had to test frequently for work, it was always negative except for the week I had COVID (in which case I was testing at home because I live with immunocompromised people). If you're testing positive two weeks after the initial infection using an antigen test, something is wrong.

Matt's avatar

We had an outbreak at work, and then I woke up one night with a fever, chills, and pain in my wind pipe. I tested at home every couple of days with lateral flow tests, since they're a pretty good indicator of whether or not you're still contagious. My symptoms were basically gone in two days, but I continued to test positive for a week in total. I went back to work and had to continue testing due to being unvaccinated, and they always came back negative.

Expand full comment
Matt's avatar

Anything is possible I suppose, but considering influenza is a different antigen, I doubt it. I wasn't tested for inluenza, but I know people who received both covid and influenza tests, and only the covid tests came back positive (I also know people who tested negative for entire viral panels, but were very ill nonetheless). The point was more that the majority will, or should, test positive for a period of time, become asymptomatic and then consistently test negative. When there's a large amount of people experiencing illness, testing positive, having symptoms resolve and testing negative, and then having a rebound of symptoms and testing positive again, there's a problem. That problem appears to be the combination of vaccination and Paxlovid.
