I hear that you're a cancer patient (and I'm sorry for that) but the argument itself is ableist. In NY you test positive, you call a hotline and get Paxlovid delivered to your house same-day - it's approved for everyone. In California, you test positive and you get Paxlovid from your PCP - it's approved for everyone. I'm not sure where you're located but please consider updating your information before you go around telling people not to avail themselves of perfectly acceptable preventives.
Early intervention lessens the risk of long-COVID. That is also in the literature. It's fine. There is no reason OP's husband should not access treatment.

It's incredibly ableist that people are trying to argue this point with you, and the point you're making is backed up by the literature we have so far around COVID effects on the brain - so just know, the stupidest are often loudest. You're doing the right things for your partner and I hope you were able to get Paxlovid.

COVID is showing an increased likelihood of neurological-deficit conditions across the board - including Alzheimer's. That makes OP's partner low risk.
You really need to read the recent literature more to speak as confidently here as you have, because you've clearly not done that.

This is such a bizarre hill to die on. I'm getting my info from the NY State website and CA state websites. Have a good week.
