NEW: Pfizer says a 3rd dose of its COVID-19 vaccine increases protection against the Delta variant

I said this towards the end of 2020. The response was ... coli-ish.



which is where we find ourselves today ... vaccines working but high risk of infection for edge cases, variants circulating in vaccinated population, new covid rules.

yes it is odd about the lack of treatments.

there was news of some studies in 2020 using computer modelling to check known medicines for possible treatment candidates but, as you say, that side of things has gone relatively quiet and we have gone all-in with the vaccines.

Cure would take a long ass time. But there's always a $ side to this. And frankly all this vaccine shyt is by design. They do this all the time. More doses, more money. Why make a lightbulb that lasts 50 years when you can keep charging people once a year?

I'm not anti-vax either. But I acknowledge that everything is a business even when lives are at stake.

I looked into it and I was wrong. You can't develop an antibiotic for it because antibiotics only work on bacteria that cause infections, not on viruses. Coronavirus is a virus. The difference between a bacterial infection and a viral infection is that bacteria are physically larger than viruses and so they are much easier to target with drugs. Also viruses aren't technically alive, or something. They're basically microscopic zombies. You can't kill something that isn't alive very easily. Apparently the only viruses that we have antiviral drugs for are hepatitis, herpes and HIV, and of those only the hepatitis one is a genuine cure equal to how we can cure bacterial infections.

Damn

Is the blame for the 3rd shot gonna fall on the non vaccinated people some how?

Why are viruses hard to kill? Virologists explain why these tiny parasites are so tough to treat

Damn

bacteria are alive. viruses are genetic material which we interpret as not being alive.

you "deactivate" viruses rather than "kill" them.

better treatments will play a role

you can treat a virus directly using Antiviral drug - Wikipedia .

you can treat secondary effects as well as using other means to inhibit or stop disease progression (as in Broad Spectrum Antivirals).

after all (and I hope anti-science gang interpret this how I mean it) it is not the virus presence itself per-se that kills you. it is what the virus does and we can inhibit or work around those viral actions.

covid is RNA which complicates matters as RNA is more likely to mutate, so is harder to target.

Apparently the only viruses that we have antiviral drugs for are hepatitis, herpes and HIV

The only way to kill a virus is to prevent it for spreading

if they would just paid everybody in 2 grand a month and said stay home, the shyt would've been over by the summer last year lmao

 

[Remy LeBreh]

Gimme all the vaccines, as long as they are free
My summer will be stress free

 

[SheWantTheD]

Are they out of their minds?

 

[Yaboysix]

This a Update?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Tested on 23 people… booster needed every 6 months, still can catch and spread covid, not FDA approved…


Bottom line, wear ya masks

UPDATE: oxford is looking at treatments - ivermectin is also included in the trials.

"PRINCIPLE is a UK-wide clinical study from the University of Oxford to find COVID-19 treatments for recovery at home.
We are looking for medicines that can help people with COVID-19 symptoms get better quickly and stop them needing to go to hospital. PRINCIPLE is recruiting participants through this website and also through GP practices across the UK.
PRINCIPLE is still open to those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine."

further to this reply NEW: Pfizer says a 3rd dose of its COVID-19 vaccine increases protection against the Delta variant Pfizer now has an antiviral pill which is by all accounts "effective".

U.S. to buy 10 mln courses of Pfizer's COVID-19 pill for $5.3 bln.

catching infection early is the next step.
