So the whole first round of infections isn't affected and then it mutates several times and we have seen that existing treatments were not nearly as effective. The vaccines were moderately effective against new variants but not greatly. They were far better than natural immunity was though.

They don't make it from the sale of Hydrox and Iverme. Three companies made a total of over $60B in sales of the jab. And more on the way with the new Covid "Pill and the now being sold "booster" shots.Quote:

Right, because I said "treatments," and those are not.Quote:

Ah, the wordsmith fanatic bores me once again. What "treatments" are you talking about. And by what "wordsmithing law" do you reference to disqualify Hydrox and Iverm from being a "treatment"? I know that Hydrox. kept me from contracting malaria some years ago. I took the pills every week. They worked fine.Quote:

Moderna’s COVID vaccine costs around $15 per dose.
Pfizer's COVID vaccine costs around $24 per dose.
J&J's COVID vaccine costs about $10 per dose.
You tell me which of those totals you'd rather pay.
Apparently, it is someone that wants to blame others for his errors.
Yea but this guy is one of those con men who is looking to profit from everything. I don’t see it here but I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.Quote:
