Metformin shown to prevent long Covid
Triple therapy is a treatment that proceeds it. Metformin isn’t a treatment, it’s a prophylactic.

Yes, a prophylactic treatment. I think my point stands, semantics aside.

It's not the first evidence of treatment and preventing isn't the same as treating, because it does nothing for people who have the disease.

Can you share prior evidence of effective treatment? It's the first I've heard of it, and obviously the same goes for parent poster.
I understand the distinction you are making, and that's why I said semantics aside.
