RE: Social Engineering - The "Coronavirus Event"

in #steem5 years ago

Not wanting to criticize anything in your post, one addition.

We do have flu every year

We do have treatment against most forms of flu tho. This is an entirely new pathogen, albeit similar in certain elements to previous coronaviruses, and without any medical treatment yet. Right now containment is the only known thing we have against it.

Sort:  

In china, some people are being treated with cancer medication when they have corona. I don't think that's very effective as it shuts down the immune system (at least partially).

Yes, I have also read that HIV drugs are being tested as remedy. And even a still experimental ebola treatment has been submitted for approval to be tested on covid-19 subjects.

We don't have treatment against flu, we have vaccines, which you can take or not. Antiviral medication is usually ineffective, people recover mostly because their immune system "silences" the viral attack. Do not mistake viruses for bacteria, which can be killed with antibiotics.

While you are exactly correct, DRACO is proposed as a broad spectrum antiviral that keys in on viral replication and kills cells in that process. It has been shown effective against every virus it has been tested on, and yet has been passed over for funding of larger trials essential to proceeding to actual introduction to the public by pharmaceutical companies (the source of almost all funding for such trials today, when their malign influence on government agencies is accounted for) whose business model actually curing disease threatens.

I encourage everyone to have a look at the above link, and consider why no funding for this broad spectrum antiviral has been forthcoming.

Thanks!

I didn't think of antibiotics. They are one of the worst threats to the general health of society and antibiotics resistance is becoming a bigger issue every day.

If antiviral drugs are not effective they should be removed from the approved drugs lists.
