Rant/Article: Paxlovid Cuts Covid Death Risk. But Those Who Need It Are Not Taking It. (www.nytimes.com)

Absolute bullshit. My wife's almost 60 and while generally healthy she has to take a few medicines and I'm sure she qualifies as needing Paxlovid. But when she got Covid recently, and a really nasty bout although it didn't require hospitalization, she asked for Paxlovid but was told it was no longer being used to treat Covid.

I am pissed at this article being so poorly researched. It obviously has accepted the one-sided view that patients are the reason why Paxlovid isn't being used as much. There is more to the story and they were lazy, when they had a chance to make a difference. F*cking lazy.
