Orlistat is also known as “Alli,” which is available as an over the counter product. The researchers found all types of COVID were blocked from replication within 48 hours.
They state this was only done in a lab and not on mice, but, honestly, cutting triglycerides is universally good and orlistat is not apparently filled with much in the way of side effects or interactions, judging from WebMDs write up, but, as always, check with your doctor.
“people with a high body-mass index and conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes are more sensitive to the disease”
Gee, it sounds almost like the virus was engineered to target the least fit members of society...
Yet another reason not to be fat.
I lost 15 pounds. Doesn’t sound consistent with this article.
The obese get obesier.
An approved weight-loss medication, Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, stopped viral replication.

This is not a scientific study. it’s a sales pitch for more prescription meds.
I had coof in May and lost twenty pounds so pardon me if I call BS on this one.
Like many of you, the medical community at every level from my small town up to CDC and Anthony Faucilli have damaged their credibility so thoroughly that, even if a report like this is true, I doubt it. Sounds like just another “Get vaxxed or die” pitch. In any case, I’ll take my chances with having had covid.
Still astonished that people who rant at eating gmo meats and grains would scream at me to inject mrna into my body just because they did.
And recall millions of jars of peanut butter because a batch “might” be tainted while ignoring the adverse effects of that very mrna.
What a world.
Interesting. Maybe weighing only 90 lbs isn’t all bad.

Perhaps that explains why having a high BMI is such an important comorbidity for COVID.
