Autistic truth makes people uncomfortable because it’s not performative.
We name what’s broken without decorating it.

![In a small case series, a combination of three antivirals was effective in improving symptoms in participants with Long COVID, according to a new preprint shared in Research Square. Researchers found that 120 days of the antiviral drugs valacyclovir (Valtrex) and celecoxib (Celebrex), in addition to 15 days of the Paxlovid, was more effective than Valtrex and Celebrex alone, with benefits lasting up to 720 days. The case series included 27 people with Long COVID — and did not have a placebo group. The small study “provides pilot evidence to support the need for a larger trial of combination antivirals for people living with [Long COVID],” the authors wrote.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:age5xvis2s2vy5qiz2tjxoc6/bafkreifaujtgqzyknd3z6xx3gk44jnjs7u4yss2ngv26rxquyftf65b35u)
