>This presumes doctors practicing medicine 2.0 have any effective treatment. For the flu, sure there is tamiflu; or COVID, paxlovid; don't know if you were being intentionally sarcastic when naming those two as effective treatments >How effective is Tamiflu? Unfortunately, the effectiveness of Tamiflu is marginal, as it cannot “cure” the illness. Most studies have shown that the medication will reduce the length of symptoms by only 12 to 24 hours, and if started after two days of symptoms, it does not help at all. It is important to keep effectiveness in mind, as expectations for Tamiflu are often very high and, frankly, overhyped. https://health.mountsinai.org/blog/is-it-worth-it-to-take-tamiflu/ https://health.mountsinai.org/blog/is-it-worth-it-to-take-ta... >Paxlovid does not significantly alleviate symptoms of COVID-19 compared with placebo among nonhospitalized adults, a new study published on April 3 in The New England Journal of Medicine found. The results suggest that the drug, a combination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, may not be particularly helpful for patients who are not at high risk for severe COVID-19. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/study-shows-nirmatrelvir-ritonavir-no-more-effective-than-2024a10006gb https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/study-shows-nirmatrelvi... which links to https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2309003 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2309003 and this little nugget >CONCLUSIONS The time to sustained alleviation of all signs and symptoms of Covid-19 did not differ significantly between participants who received nirmatrelvir–ritonavir and those who received placebo.
