    Yeah here is what your overlords were saying is the right drug for covid.

    https://www.science.org/content/art...k-remdesivir-first-fda-approved-covid-19-drug


    The ‘very, very bad look' of remdesivir, the first FDA-approved COVID-19 drug
    The Food and Drug Administration held no advisory meeting on antiviral, and the European Union signed contract without knowing of failed trial

    How is that for facts. Keep trusting these people it’s like natural selection.

    Not sure what an article more than a year old has to do with anything currently. If anything the article shows that drugs and treatments go through testing and initially promising treatments with further testing can be found to not be as good. That was how Hydroxychloroquine was found to not be effective. This article shows that the systems actually work out there.

    This is the point of having more trials and such, as Ivermectin or any of the other treatments been through the trials that article is saying Remdesivir to go through?

    As stated though the Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson and Astrozenica vaccines went through several trials including very large Phase III trials. Also to note that there were other vaccines in development that were dropped when it was shown that they weren't doing well in initial trials, such as Merck had one in development that they dropped. Articles like this show again that far from rushed vaccines being foisted on the public for money, social control or whatever the latest claptrap being pushed out is that treatments are actually studied and debated through scientific and medical circles with new information being taken into consideration.

    He forgot to add in west Nile virus. He may not have been on point but hes on to something. I was saying a while back that every president comes in equipped with his own disease or variation of a disease.

    West Nile occurs every year. It's like saying the flu occurs during every major US election.

    Yes, every year after it came out. Before that we had never heard of west Nile virus. Well at least I hadn't. Plus there has always been rumors of the flu being stronger every year when their useless vaccine numbers are low. Just like now with all these bs variants that come out every other week.

    Also shout out to the governor of SC for stepping up and partially banning mandates in his state.

    Regardless of when you heard about it, West Nile has been identified since 1937.

    That TikTok video is full of ****.

    We should be doing this for 18+. Tax payers shouldn't pick up the tab for personal choices to not vaccinate. Freedum but not free ride.

    I think that's a pretty bad decision, but it's Singapore not exactly a bastion for personal rights.

    Any reason you posted a screen shot rather than the article itself?

    And so what does this tell us? That like flu shots, it might be necessary to have annual shots? Or perhaps a booster?

    Interesting to note:

    I am guessing you didn't bother to read the entire article but simply raced here with the headline you saw on your facebook trump/antivaxxer feed...

    You have obviously stumbled upon this massive worldwide scientific and medical conspiracy that is fooling every nation in the world...

    The world has been bamboozled but you alone have it all figure out.

    I really wish you could have a wider soapbox to enlighten the world.

    63% vax rate compared to Florida's 60%. Rather pathetic.

    Masking and other protocols only delay infection, which presumably gives hostpitals time to breathe. I guess Cali had some breathing moments past few months so is it time for that curve to normalize?

    The thing about kids getting affected is also troubling. I've heard offhand they normally end up fine but it must be tough for any parent to weigh the odds of emergency approved vaccines vs the small chance of hospitalization.
