yup it was called Paxlovid. makes your mouth taste like shit and you feel a little tired but it just stops the covid dead. or at least did for me. i did have to kinda be forceful with the doc in order to get it due to the fact that its really for when you are super fucked. i was feeling super shitty but not fucked according to him.

The trouble with that one is sometimes you get covid right back after you stop taking it (termed "rebound"). In some ways this is an impressive result compared to other medications that don't to anything unambiguous at all, but obviously it's frustrating and unfortunate if it happens to you.

It's interesting you say that because I did stop early because I was just not into taking AIDS medicine. They gave you 5 days supply I stopped after 3 days and then felt weird. So I finished the last two days and I was fine. I did have residual covid symptoms for about a week but nowhere near as bad as I felt while I had the fucker.
