I’m sick and came to the doctor to get tested for covid, strep, and flu, since those are going around my work. I asked the doctor if I could get paxlovid if the covid test was positive, and he goes “Oh I don’t think you’d need it”
Motherfucker almost everyone who catches covid should be fucking taking it wtf is wrong with you. Oh I’m young and otherwise healthy? Yeah and I’d like to fucking stay that way thank you very much, and I’ll take any reduction in the chance of becoming permanently disabled.
Also of the medical professionals I saw today, they were only wearing surgical masks, not N95s and I can’t comprehend it. Why in the hell would you go into the room of a likely covid case not wearing an N95 are you insane?
I’m so fucking sick of being the only person in this entire town that’s actually worried about catching this disease, even the fucking doctors don’t care anymore. I work in a research facility attached to a hospital and when I go to the food court and shit at best like 1/25 people are wearing masks. In a hospital.
Thank you Mr Joe Brandon for ending the pandemic, you’ve truly cemented your place among history’s greatest killers.
research authored by researchers who actually investigate the subject at hand? you know doctors aren't connected by a hivemind right?
Yes. In fact, researchers who formulated the drug to begin with. If you don't trust the folks who developed paxlovid to tell you when and how to use paxlovid effectively, why the hell are you ingesting this drug to begin with?
but that's what they are doing when they go to the source to get their information. you're conflating the doctors prescribing it with the people who developed (or at least study) it. these aren't equally trustworthy groups
