Brian, I greatly appreciate you digging so deeply into this topic.

Paxlovid was tested on on unvaccinated people only. Now they are giving it to vaxxed people, whose reaction to it, and timeline of development of immune response, is very possibly different from unvaxed.

As your graph shows, paxlovid failed even in some unvaxed people , but seems to be failing much more often (this is just a hunch) in real mostly vaccinated people.

This could be a story not just of Paxlovid failure. This could be a story illustrating vaccine failure of not allowing vaccinated people mount rapid (within 5 days) immune response.

It could also be a story of Omicron not clearing as quickly as Alpha/Delta.

We should keep pushing it.

I tweeted your article from my backup account

Washington Post just published an article about the viral rebound effect with people getting sick from the same infection again (not a reinfection) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/04/27/paxlovid-second-case-covid/
