Fauci says he experienced ‘Paxlovid rebound’ and that his COVID symptoms were ‘much worse than the first go-around’

 

 

Chief Presidential Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday that he experienced a so-called “Paxlovid rebound” after he took the antiviral to help his recovery from COVID.

 

The symptoms he developed after he took the pill were more severe than those he had initially, he said.

 

“After I finished the five days of Paxlovid, I reverted to negative on an antigen test for three days in a row,” Fauci, 81, said during an event at Foreign Policy’s Global Health Forum, Bloomberg reported. “And then on the fourth day, just to be absolutely certain, I tested myself again.”

 

“I reverted back to positive,” he said.

 

He then began a second course of Paxlovid when symptoms emerged “much worse than the first go-around,” he said. Fauci said he was feeling “reasonably good” as of Tuesday.
