Kamala's Press Secretary Lets Her Prescription Slip and It's a Very Bad Sign
Vice President Kamala Harris has tested positive for COVID-19. This, on its face, should be no big deal. However, the White House managed to throw up a red flag when it announced her course of treatment — particularly given the line of succession to the nation’s highest office.
Today, after consultation with her physicians, the Vice President was prescribed and has taken Paxlovid.

Paxlovid is the brand name of a Pfizer-manufactured antiviral drug made up of “nirmatrelvir tablets and ritonavir tablets, co-packaged for oral use,” according to the Food and Drug Administration’s website. It was given emergency use authorization in December — but here’s where it gets problematic.
Surprised to learn that Kamala Harris who is asymptomatic, healthy, and quadruple vaccinated is getting Paxlovid, a drug reserved for high-risk patients per the FDA label.

The reasons behind the prescription might be more political than medical.

Her prescription for Paxlovid comes as the administration announces new actions to increase access to the drug. https://t.co/HJ2HDcAL0x
