"we were in such shock, but it was like 'Oh, we have to do this so he can have his surgery'." "When it's COVID you're just in a hurry to get the medication on the Paxlovid cause he had a upcoming heart procedure"...and we're spoiled, cause we all got it, my family, like a year or so ago (that was like almost 2 years ago), and the Paxlovid was free...it's kind of like a fast reaction, well we got to get this." When asked if Paxlovid was previously taken for COVID, patient's wife replied, "Yes, yes, and then we've had all our vacc-Pfizer, we get the Pfizer vaccinations regularly. We got it in Jan, just this year..." Later she said, "Thankfully I didn't get it I kept testing".
