Ontario is considering allowing pharmacists to prescribe the COVID-19 treatment drug Paxlovid in order to expand access, the province's top doctor says.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said recently that the health system will see a "triple threat" of COVID-19, a bad flu season and the resurgence of a childhood respiratory virus this fall and winter.

"I do know the government is reviewing the ability of pharmacists to be able to prescribe this directly after a positive test," Moore said in an interview with The Canadian Press. A spokesperson for Health Minister Sylvia Jones said the province is "continuing to look at different ways to ensure Ontarians have access to as many tools as possible to stay healthy and prevent unnecessary visits to the hospital," but offered no further details.

"Given our experience in point-of-care testing, our knowledge of medications — particularly complex medications like Paxlovid, where there's a lot of drug-to-drug interactions — and more, I would say, in-depth consultation that's required with patients, pharmacists are well-positioned to provide that as a turnkey solution," he said.

How was it tested. For how many years? Oh… yeah, got it. 😣

Any idea who's lobbying to speed this up? DFisman MoriartyLab

How about hydroxychloroquine? They all lied about it. It could have saved hundreds of lives but they don't want you to take it. Because it works and it's a proven drug. It's all about the money! More paxlovid, more money for big pharma.

It's about time.

OR we could simply bring back masking.

Why don't you investigate these numbers/data from CPHO_Canada GovCanHealth and do you JOB for once?!?!?

and there it is...take more pharmaceuticals to combat the ineffective/detrimental effects of pharmaceuticals...why are people not putting this together?

Thanks I’d rather have ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine than anything “they” recommend.

Still considering. Children's hospitals at 120% capacity. 😵‍💫

Njet Njet Soviet! Da Da Canada!

More running away.

Is this ‘treatment’ better than the ‘vaccine’, or is the ‘vaccine’ better than the ‘treatment’. 8 out of 10 mice prefer the shot, and the other 2 have vaccine hesitancy, hence the pills?

bcndp adriandix should be doing the same thing here but the continue to the complete opposite.

Wake up

I won’t have the heart attack Pfizer vaccination man’s you shouldn’t either but be my guest

BIG PHARMA PROFITS

Expand access lol

The alarming rate of liver failure is not a threat to robot kind. I approve of the widespread consumption of Paxlovid by humans.

Is Paxlovid 'safe and effective' too?

Now, if only you could find Advil.

Pharmacists have a financial interest in prescribing. This is not a good idea.

Maybe also change the guidelines on eligibility That might go a long way towards expanding access They are very narrow rn & privilege the unvaccinated

How about just try preventing the spread of the disease? How right that would be bad for corporate profits, nevermind.

Yeah, a drug that has a high occurrence of rebound covid

oh, lose the freakin mask buddy!

About damn time

Both Fauci and Walensky are quad jabbed, both got covid, both were treated with paxlovid, and both had reinfections. I think the same can be said for Biden. If this is considered a medical success, what do we consider a failure?

Desperation

THREE MASKS ON IS OKAY BUT FOUR MASKS ON IS BETTER!!!! GET THAT MASK ON RIGHT NOW!!!! OVER THE NOSE, UNDER THE CHIN!!!! MASK ON = LIFE SAVED!!!! WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!!

Personally, I recommend the FREEEEDDOOOMM prescription. Bleach. Ultra-Violet. Jesus.

Why? Covid is spreading from vaccines and boosters. They are useless and cause more sickness. Why increase the rate with another treatment that doesn't work?

Lol now that is a change from 2 years ago!!!!

Everyone who took it got rebound Covid so what the hell?
