In BC, to get Paxlovid, you need:
A) Access to a family doctor;
B) Be 70+ years old; and
C) Have 3+ chronic conditions.
Symptoms don't start right away, and it needs to be taken within 5 days of infection, so effectively you also need to be able to get a medical appointment with ~2 days notice.
That's essentially impossible, which means the drug is (in effect) banned.
