    I’d encourage you not to take medications you don’t need. If you’re set on having Paxlovid, you can keep it handy in case your symptoms get worse.

    Please do not spread misinformation. Paxlovid only works if you start taking it within the first 5 days of symptoms starting, it's not something you can wait to take. It blows my mind that people would turn down Paxlovid because they'd rather raw-dog COVID.

    I have a friend who got COVID after being fully vaxxed and boosted. They turned down Paxlovid by their sibling's advice (because "It's just like a cold, bro"), got long COVID, and they've been living with with it for about a year now (they told me just today that their brain fog has not gone away or lessened). Needless to say, this would not have happened to them if they had taken Paxlovid.
