1. The bottom line: SARS-CoV-2 only emerged in late 2019. No-one can know the long-term effects of repeated infections, but with anosmia and cognitive dysfunction as common symptoms, the assumption I make is that there is a tsunami of early-onset neurocognitive diseases coming.

26-0. No. 1 in the country. All with just one NBA player. My 2004 Stanford basketball team is an epic case study in overachievement. My new book, WINNING WITHOUT PERMISSION, tells the inside story. It’s available for pre-order today! 👇🙏 a.co/d/0ijvmUGJ

A study of nearly 500,000 adults found Paxlovid taken within 5 days of COVID-19 infection was linked to a 12% lower risk of Long COVID in high-risk adults. That's around 3 fewer Long COVID cases per 100 people treated. For lower-risk adults, researchers found no clear benefit.

A new study estimates 75% of former NFL players who died between 2008–2023 had CTE. What comes next? @DannyWuerffel, former NFL QB and Heisman Trophy winner, believes difficult news can motivate us to come together, advance research, and make a difference. The findings are sobering. The work continues.

Today, FDA kicked off its Rare Disease Framework Initiative with a public meeting, co-hosted by @ReaganUdall. Thanks to all who joined for your input, candor & vision. With only 5% of rare diseases having an approved treatment, the status quo isn't enough — we must do more. FDA Acting Commissioner @FDA_KyleD shared with the attendees that the “urgency of the need has not changed, but now we — the agency, drug developers, researchers, and patients — are ready to meet that need together.”
