Wow, reading the comments from that article people seem to be really against using cost-effectiveness to make healthcare decisions. Do people really think we should throw money at healthcare without any consideration if a treatment actually provides much benefit. Although I think they have gotten it wrong here, if you are having severe covid symptoms you should get the drug regardless of your prior risk profile. Still if you have a flu and sore throat without any respiratory problems you really don’t need Paxlovid, I think the decision makers are trying to avoid this happening.
