I believe there was a post regarding this topic/drug on FR a few weeks/months back, but I wondered if anyone has heard of research to determine the effectiveness of using Baricitinib to treat Long Covid?
There were a few articles regarding this topic that I had bookmarked but now the webpages are gone. Convenient huh? I'm interesting in finding out if anyone here has any information on this. Thank you all for your time.
