I think you mean Paxlovid? That's actually approved but apparently it's hard to make and Pfizer is still working on expanding production. Some pharmacies do have it however. As to highly effective, I believe it means that if you take Paxlovid you are very unlikely to need to be hospitalized and the length and severity of the infection will be significantly reduced. See this article for more info about someone's experience getting the drug.

What does "highly effected" mean anyway? The one you linked might be enough to warrant future study, but given the numbers used it's not really statistically significant. I mean, especially when vaccinated, most people will be fine after two weeks at the latest.
