Paxlovid.com "PAXLOVID has not been approved, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an EUA, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death."
I don't interpret that as authorized "for everyone." Show me where you're getting your info from where anyone can be prescribed Paxlovid?

The list of eligible medical conditions covers a lot of ground. If someone is in their 20s, has depression and is physically inactive, it might not seem like they qualify for paxlovid based on your definition, but they absolutely are eligible based on the list of medical conditions: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html
