Clinical narrative: I had covid the first week of January; I had covid the first week of January; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A male patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) and as dose 3 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), COVID-19 (medically significant) all with onset Jan2022, outcome "unknown" and all described as "I had covid the first week of January". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: SARS-CoV-2 test: (Jan2022) Positive, notes: had covid the first week of January. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of drug ineffective, covid-19.  Clinical course: Reporter had covid the first week of January, took Paxlovid, the antiviral medicine it could keep from getting as sick, but there was nothing that could keep from getting Covid? They were using the excuse that it elevated your blood pressure, but reporter thought long covid that was the worst problem, if you get long covid, reporter heard about a young lady who had long covid and it affected her memory that was worst than having some side effects from taking Paxlovid. The long covid affected her memory, she could not remember simple words somehow it affected her brain. Reporter thought taking paxlovid there was a risk to everything you take, some of that doctors need to be more informed and what decisions they made, they need to have more information on the side effects of paxlovid and other treatments to make better decisions. If your doctor said they would not give you an antiviral, you just have to go to the emergency room and hope you find someone that will. Reporter did not understood they were not concerned if you get long covid. Reporter saw on TV people diagnosed with long covid, some of them may had been prevented, every medicine had side effects, they always list side effects of medicines but reporter did not knew any medicine that did not had some kind of side effects, is that true? It did not help some people, reporter knew because they had got friends that it did not do any good and doctors were all over the place as far as treatments, every body had a different theory on the treatment if you get covid, reporter did not had much faith in doctors, knew that [Name Withheld], they gave him paxlovid, thought it was political, did not knew the reason behind it because they would not give Paxlovid to everyone. Some doctors gave you pain medicine and others would give you antiviral, some of them will give you oxycodone, but you just had to keep going to the doctor and hoping they will give you an antiviral. Reporter thought Pfizer should talk to medical people and be more concerned on long covid side effects, what was doing to people and gave the doctors better guidance on what to do, because they did not mind giving you some kind of pain medicine they did not thought nothing about it because it was been around for years. It would help if Pfizer went and work more with doctors about long covid. Everything had side effects, if you get surgery and they did not give you antibiotics you could get real bad infection and die. Sometimes in the hospital you get staph infections and they did not think nothing of that. Lots of doctors did not try to help the patients. Pfizer needed to get something that helped the doctor. Reporter would rather have side effects from paxlovid than from long covid, thought Pfizer should help the doctors understand better the antivirals, say you get cancer and they give you cancer medicine to save your life, they tell you that had risk but reporter thought it would keep you from getting worst. Reporter should do more work with doctors about antiviral medicine. If they did not made it clear doctors would not prescribe it because the side effects, they had some kind of excuse, they need more information. Caller stated they took three Pfizer vaccinations since covid started. Was supposed to take a 4th vaccination, had they improved the medicine to keep you from getting covid?  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
