Could Pfizer's New Antiviral Drug Be the Source of Omicron Variant?
Wild speculation is a thing which I try to avoid. It is far to easy to fool oneself into believing that a very unlikely thing actually is possible or has happened by constructing logical or other arguments that sound good on their face, and make sense, yet quickly fall apart upon closer scrutiny. Moreover, generally speaking there is no benefit to anyone from wild speculation, but it can be a very bad thing if the speculation is accepted as true by the gullible or uninformed. Thus, as I sat down to write this article I was very much torn. Although I do believe that what I wrote in the title is possible based on what I know about how viruses transmit among, infect, and replicate in humans (a lot), and what I know about the mechanism of action of Pfizer's new antiviral Paxlovid (admittedly a very little. Only what I have read in news accounts and from a few very brief conversations and secondhand accounts from virus researchers), I have no evidence that such a thing has occurred, and in fact it may not be possible to ever generate such evidence.

Blogging and the effect on pain
Whenever we face a difficult situation, we always try our best to improve it. It is especially true when we are suffering from physical pain. At one point, we are ready to visit a guru our friend heard about from a friend of a friend who is supposedly the best at eliminating pain. Whatever it takes to survive.
