USA Today: Paxlovid, Pfizer’s COVID pill, showed no measurable benefit in adults 40 to 65, study says

According to a large new Israeli study Pfizer’s CVOID-19 pills are hardly effective in younger adults ages 40 to 65.

This new research puts in doubt the Biden Administration’s decision to spend more than $10 billion on purchasing the pill due to its at-home convenience and perceived effectiveness for all age groups. A Pfizer spokesperson declined to speak on these findings but a response from the company should be made public in the coming days. The full article by Matthew Perrone can be read here on USA Today.
