They’re not ahead of the curve. This long COVID treatment experiment is new and they equated it with an entirely different treatment. Saying “we knew this 2 weeks in” is dismissive and absurd. Knowing that NIH recommends anticoagulants for acute hospitalized COVID is entirely different than knowing that anticoagulants are useful for treating long COVID.

If someone published a study that CTE resolves with a month of Tylenol supplementation, this would be huge news. The fact that acute concussion pain is treated with Tylenol in no way implies this result.

They stated they knew from the scientific literature that anticoagulants were beneficial so I'm assuming they werent referring to long covid but to just general efficacy against covid, because long covid hadn't been discovered yet.

In that sense they were ahead of the curve because its looking like it is helpful with long covid as well, which is great news!
