If statins or other cholesterol reducing drugs like Fenofibrate can reliably reduce severity of Coronavirus to that of a common cold, as Israeli researches seem to be confirming, that will go a long way towards enabling us to return to near normal, even if none of the vaccines currently being developed live up to expectations. Here's hoping!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

That's a fibrate though, not a statin.Gunnar wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 6:57 amIf statins or other cholesterol reducing drugs like Fenofibrate can reliably reduce severity of Coronavirus to that of a common cold, as Israeli researches seem to be confirming, that will go a long way towards enabling us to return to near normal, even if none of the vaccines currently being developed live up to expectations.

You're right! I already caught my mistake and was in the process of editing my post at the same time you were posting this reply, but thanks for the correction, anyway.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 7:08 amThat's a fibrate though, not a statin.Gunnar wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 6:57 amIf statins or other cholesterol reducing drugs like Fenofibrate can reliably reduce severity of Coronavirus to that of a common cold, as Israeli researches seem to be confirming, that will go a long way towards enabling us to return to near normal, even if none of the vaccines currently being developed live up to expectations.

ETA: Either you already incorporated my correction in your quote of my post, or you didn't notice that I said "Statins or other cholesterol reducing drugs like Fenofibrate . . ." in my edited version, not "statins like Fenofibrate . . ." as in my original post.

The above should have been in this thread, instead of in a thread by itself.

Oh yes! Your report definitely has a place on this thread! This old thread was buried a couple of pages back. Took me a while to find it. Thanks for adding your information to it and keeping us on top of recent developments!Gunnar wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 7:57 amviewtopic.php?p=1240372#p1240372

Re: CV-19 therapeutic drug trials and Vaccine
I wonder if sars covid 2 has mutated and if whatever vaccine is brought to market will be comparable to the flu vaccine. Due to constant mutation of the various flu viruses, flu vaccines are always behind the curve and rarely, if ever, are more than 50% effective. Usually, the flu vaccine effective rate is much less than 50%. I took the vaccine one year and had the worst flu symptoms I ever had for about 2 hours. I rarely get the flu and so stay away from the flu vaccine. My parents take it yearly and so does my GF. But I think there is a lot of skepticism regarding whether or not the shot will be worth it or not. At present, there is less than a 1% chance of dying from sars covid 2 and steroid treatments are getting better at stopping the cytokine storm that is the real killer. Perhaps the vaccine will go the way of the bird flu scare back in 2009?
