If there is a viral reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 why did the Stanford Paxlovid trial fail? The drug might be insufficient, or poor penetration in some reservoirs, or inappropriate end points, etc. Dominique Salmon MD PhD

SARS-CoV-2 peptide fragments can reassemble with dsRNA into proinflammatory complexes, amplifying immune responses.

These complexes trigger cytokine secretion in various cell types, mimicking severe COVID-19 inflammation.

Measurement of circulating viral antigens post-SARS-CoV-2 infection in a multicohort study
Measurement of circulating viral antigens post-SARS-CoV-2 infection in a multicohort study
“The findings of this multicohort study indicate that SARS-CoV-2 antigens can be detected in the blood of a substantial proportion of individuals up to 14 months after infection. While approximately one in five asymptomatic individuals was antigen-positive, roughly half of all individuals reporting ongoing cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurologic symptoms were antigen-positive.”
