Harris famously blasted President Trump's endorsement of Hydrochloriquine, calling it to junk science, and yet, while her staff reports she is asymptomatic, in good health and having no discomfort, she is gobbling the pills, called Paxlovid, up like candy.

So, the question remains why is she taking them and why is the government paying the obscene price Pfizer is charging for the pills.
Harris was feeling fine but had been in contact with someone who had COVID, so she took both rapid and PCR tests, which came back positive, her office said.
She “has not been a close contact” of President Biden or first lady Jill Biden, the Vice President’s office said, mentioning their travel schedules.

“If you take a step back and look at the Vice President, she is boosted, actually twice boosted. We have a very, very contagious variant out there.
