Introduction: There are difficulties in creating direct antiviral drugs for all viruses, including new, suddenly arising infections, such as COVID-19. Therefore, pathogenesis-directed therapy is often necessary to treat severe viral infections and comorbidities associated with them. Despite...

infection-associated complex chronic illnesses such as #LongCOVID, #Lyme and #MECFS. As such, we will take insurance and work to help patients to access expensive off-label meds through ethical formularies such as @mcuban's @costplusdrugs where expensive meds can be found at a fraction of the...
