Good news for the anti-vaxxers: TGA just provisionally approved two antivirals for early COVID intervention.

You can put down your horse medication and go see your GP if you contract COVID and are at risk of progressing to severe disease.
Five caveats however:
(1) It's a provisional approval, same as the vaccines had
(2) You need to see a doctor to get access: you can't just order a crate online
(3) Both drugs were made my major pharma companies (Pfizer and Merck), so if you have some kind of anti-Pharma conspiracy bend going on, these drugs won't help
(4) It does not replace the vaccine as the first and strongest step in raising the overall immunity of the individual and the community
(5) You have to already have COVID and be a high-risk category for severe disease
