> "The study was posted online last week. It has not been reviewed for publication in a scientific journal" > Not only that, but those who took a painkiller seemed to have more antibodies than those who tolerated the symptoms without medication. The most likely explanation for that is not that the painkillers increase antibody levels, Dr. Bhattacharya said. “It’s more that people who have symptoms tend to have a slightly greater antibody response than those who don’t, and of course the people who have symptoms are more likely to take painkillers,” he said. No actually scientific proof. Simply subjective option. What does the NYT gain from doing "stories" such as this?
