Despite COVID “rebound” cases, docs say Paxlovid is saving lives

President Joe Biden has tested positive again for COVID-19, the latest and most prominent example of what doctors call “Paxlovid rebound.”

When Biden tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month, doctors immediately prescribed Paxlovid, an anti-viral drug that can prevent severe illness in higher-risk patients.
