Since SARS-COV-2 is endemic and has been for a while, we'd be MUCH better off spending political and financial capital on making sure that low cost, quick at-home test packs and Nyquil "covid" liquid/pills are well stocked at the neighborhood pharmacy.
It's been long known that hitting the bug with protease inhibitors, and maybe some immune systems boosters for good measure, within the first 7-10 days avoids most medical bills. Just have Nyquill bottle it and be done with it; we know how adverse the political caste and big Pharma is to generic brands, otherwise I'd say have the store brands bottle it so we get a much better deal for our money...
Since millions upon millions caught and recovered from the bug in the Dec. 2019 - Jan 2021 timeframe, a large chunk of the population had reasonable acquired immunity before the on-patent injections were even rolled out.
Given the recent news of the traditional tech, low cost version of the injection for the 3rd world taking 6 months for a small university to assemble and test, its obvious that the world COULD have had a traditional tech injection by summer 2020 but the powers that be deliberately choose not to go that route; millions payed with their lives because of that foolishness...
Quit whining that the new tech is short lived, it was designed to be so; ever heard of planned obsolescence?
Other industies have been using the P.O. system for decades and Big Pharma has now joined that bandwagon. I sincerely doubt we will ever see a NEW injection for anything that will be "one and done" ever again; too much money in the "re-power ups" market.
