Abstract

Australia finally permitted in July 2022 the use of oral antivirals against COVID-19. For the previous 2.5 years, the local bureaucrats have prevented medical doctors to prescribe the antivirals successfully used in other jurisdictions. Suddenly, they changed their mind, even if the opening of the restrictions was limited to only two products not known to be the most effective, nor the cheapest, in between the many available.
