VACCINES HAVE FAILED. IT’S TIME FOR THERAPEUTICS
by Dr Michael Goodkin
A small excerpt :
NIH’s strategy allowed us to give the vaccines a fair shot. They just aren’t good enough in this author’s opinion. While they appear to reduce death and hospitalization the long-term prospect is uncertain for them. Perhaps they offered Pharma time to develop therapeutics? The drug companies came through. The combination of drug company therapies plus repurposed drugs should allow us to win against COVID in the long run. It might also give us time to go back to the drawing board and develop the kind of vaccines we really need. NIH will say the vaccines prevented many deaths and a lot more people would have died in the long run if the antivirals had not been developed.
At this point, the government knows vaccines long-term are not the answer and have embraced drug company therapeutics which look quite promising. The government spending billions on them isn’t such a big deal if they work and are safe. If the government can get most infected people to take the drugs very early, they will wind up with little serious illness, a lot of natural immunity, little, long COVID and a good shot at “herd immunity”. The caseload will drop dramatically in the US and government expenditures will eventually be modest. The benefit to the economy and the wellbeing of Americans—and others around the world–cannot be overstated.
