    I could be wrong, but the whole hyperbaric chamber treatment feels really iffy to me. Like people suggested it for my gf who’s suffering from long covid, but the research is REALLY small, new, and not overly conclusive. I think people are looking for a silver bullet for this thing, but I don’t think that it exists.

    Not to critique the video creator, but normal people are not gonna get access to all these non typical medical treatments. Hell, most proles aren’t even gonna get access to normal and proven medical treatments.

      Paxlovid might as well be the name of a mythical beast that hunts unicorns if you’re in the US and have shitty (or nonexistent) insurance
