it wouldn't be if people showed just the slightest bit of discretion or knew how to say things without sounding crazy. everyone knows some doctors can be wrong or just generally stupid. everyone knows the paxlovid telehealth process is kinda bullshit. it's good to tell people how they can get prescribed paxlovid if they don't have the major contraindications. it's loving idiotic for people to post "lie" or talk about their own stockpiling or diversion.

who gives a poo poo if people actually try to stockpile a couple doses or if they lie about comorbidities or a rapid test. nobody really gives a poo poo about that. having a thread culture that doesn't push back against people openly talking about stockpiling/diversion and glibly telling people to just lie to telehealth because doctors are idiots is a problem though. if you don't understand why a thread that starts getting posts like that has people saying it's hosed up, you have very lovely self awareness and judgment


people snagging 10 days of paxlovid from lovely fly by night telehealth companies isn't the issue with the thread. it takes the smallest bit of self-awareness to realize that posting that stuff is stupid. even if you think that the us healthcare system is hosed and that telehealth evaluations are bullshit and you don't think diversion of something like paxlovid is a big deal you should know better than to go around posting about your fraud and suggesting others do. if you don't get that or you think it's just 'decorum' and nobody should care, you spent too much time in here and have gone noseblind

it's painful to see the same people completely fail to understand why people think this thread is unhinged

motherfuckers getting mad that I think you should lie to survive like the loving rich do

Or maybe getting mad that I said it?

Maybe the folks getting all triggered about rules-following should try not being cops

this legit happened and was pretty funny at the time, horse farmers/owners would get on social media and beg chuds to not buy ivermectin as all their local stores were running out and the horse owners legit needed them. I miss those stupid times.

Just doubling down on it being nbd would be a lot easier for me to understand than what he's actually doing which is:

1. Saying he thinks it's worth trying to not get it.
2. Saying it's worth it for him personally to try not to get it.
3. Outlining this very complicated risk management calculus he says he's following to avoid getting it.
4. All of that doing absolutely gently caress-all and getting it because somehow his finely-tuned risk management swiss watch didn't tell him getting into a crowded elevator without an n95 on might be a bad idea.
5. Suffering significant, painful, potentially fatal consequences.
6. Doubling down not on "the disease is nbd" but on the risk management rube goldberg machine.

If he didn't think it was a problem to get COVID he would jettison the entire risk management framing and just do whatever he wants with no qualms like everybody else is. Instead what he's doing is the same net outcome (doing whatever) but wrapping it in a zillion layers of nonsense risk management that has obviously failed him multiple times, and that's the part I don't get.

when they say "we have the tools" they're talking about pax and maybe remdesivir

my doctor didn't even know about paxlovid. friends' doctors didn't even have the slightest thought to even test for covid. yet the baseline for cases is estimated based on wastewater higher than several previous peaks. vaccine efficacy is in the toilet.

regarding hoarding, with the consistent level of gatekeeping, by the time it's obtained it will often be beyond the 5 day cutoff.

regarding sharing of information---this poo poo should be shouted from the rooftops because how the hell else is anyone going to know how to protect themselves with the only tool reactive tool that's available? this isn't "i'm going to do something illegal," it's (paraphrasing previous OP) "here's a list of interactions and contraindications, check with your dr esp. if you have kidney/liver issues, here is apparently the only way to obtain this critical medicine in a timely fashion."
