Rant/Article: Paxlovid Cuts Covid Death Risk. But Those Who Need It Are Not Taking It.
With Covid deaths rising to about 1,500 per week, researchers question why Paxlovid use has remained low among high-risk patients.
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.
