    👀 Another cheap drug (an SSRI!) shows great effectiveness against hospitalization in a randomized trial.https://twitter.com/BenMazer/status/1453512786575822850 …

    Perhaps it's lost its splendor, but—vaccines aside—it's a truly remarkable feat that in such a short time we've both repurposed drugs to treat Covid (fluvoxamine, dexamethasone) and developed new antivirals (molnupiravir). Do people know how rare this is? https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(21)00448-4/fulltext …

        Drug industry will love getting entire population hooked on SSRIs for life.

        Between this and depression being identified as a risk factor for severe COVID, I wonder if we might end up learning something about the actual physiology of depression.

        Exactly my thought. One more step towards challenging the mind body duality.

        Really interesting. Early in the pandemic (Summer 2020?) I read a story about a head of a psychiatric institution saying that his patients seemed to have fewer cases of COVID-19 than expected and he hypothesized it was antidepressants.

        I'm not a Dr., but I did read the whole paper, thanks, and it was very interesting. I'm not sure what qualifies as 'great effectiveness against hospitalization', but caveats I noticed qualified that it was "early treatment," and...

        ...that it didn't include the effect of vaccinations for obvious reasons. I also couldn't find whether it was Delta (dunno if it matters). Final question/note that may not be self evident because pharma names suck is that this SSRI is not the better known cousin, Prozac, thx!

        Not such a short time. Farid Jalali has known for well more than a year. Shame to those who wrote his ideas off.
